Next Wednesday at the Capitol Hill Club, Speaker Paul Ryan will headline a closed-door breakfast with Iowa representative Steve King’s Conservative Opportunity Society (COS) to discuss “the year ahead,” according to an invitation obtained by National Review. Ryan is scheduled to deliver a 20-minute speech and then engage in a Q & A session with the breakfast’s attendees, his office confirmed.

The COS, informally organized in 1983 by Newt Gingrich, has served as something of a social club for the House’s rightmost flank, hosting weekly breakfasts to “promote and inform a conservative agenda,” as the group’s executive director, Chris Stevens, puts it. Recent breakfast headliners include Justice Antonin Scalia, Donald Rumsfeld, and Ben Carson.

Ryan’s invitation represents something of an olive branch from House conservatives to the new speaker, especially as their fight to defund Planned Parenthood and the Syrian refugee program in the upcoming spending package looks to be all but lost. Ryan is the first House speaker to address the Conservative Opportunity Society in some time, Stevens confirmed. John Boehner never spoke to the group.

The forum will give Ryan another chance to curry favor with restive conservatives, building off of his speech at the Library of Congress last week, which was introduced by Utah senator Mike Lee, a tea-party favorite. There, Ryan laid out touchstones of a conservative vision for the House, promising “a complete alternative to the Left’s agenda” in 2016. The address garnered widespread acclaim across the conservative spectrum, with the Heritage Foundation praising Ryan’s “commitment to lay out a bold agenda.”

#share#King, a banner name for grassroots conservatives who recently endorsed Ted Cruz to much fanfare, has led the Conservative Opportunity Society for the past decade. It was declared a formal organization this July, with Stevens, a former legislative counsel to South Carolina representative Mark Sanford, tapped as executive director.
