Charlie Rangel holds onto gavel

Charlie Rangel emerged from a closed-door meeting in Nancy Pelosi�s office Tuesday night to declare that he�s still the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee and hasn�t agreed to give up his gavel � even as some media outlets were reporting that he�d done just that.

But asked whether he�d still be the chairman tomorrow and in the coming days, Rangel said: �I can�t make all those promises at my age.�

And when Pelosi was asked whether Rangel was resigning, she said �no comment.�
