Congressional Hearing Update – 03-30-09

The House Appropriations Committee web site now has their calendar for hearings for this week available; it wasn’t when I wrote Friday’s blog on the schedule. There are three Homeland Security Subcommittee hearings scheduled for this week and two of them should have some impact on the chemical security community. The first hearing will be tomorrow at 10:00 am EDT and it will cover ‘Rail and Transit Security, Aviation Security Efficiency’. The second hearing will be conducted on Wednesday at 10:00 am EDT and it will cover ‘Cargo and Container Security: Keeping a Lid on Threats’. Wednesday’s hearing will be webcast. No word on the witness list for either hearing.
