Committee Hearings – Week of 2-25-24

This week with both the House and Senate back in Washington, there is a very light hearing schedule (only one day of hearings in the House). There is one cybersecurity hearing in the House

Cybersecurity

On Thursday the Subcommittee on Transportation and Maritime Security of the House Homeland Security Committee will hold a hearing on “Port Cybersecurity: The Insidious Threat to U.S. Maritime Ports”. The witness list includes:

• Rear Admiral Wayne R. Arguin Jr., CG,

• Rear Admiral John Vann, CG,

• Rear Admiral Derek Trinque, CG, and

• Christa Brzozowski, DHS

The recent Executive Order on maritime cybersecurity is certain to be a topic.

On the Floor

With the first spending bill deadline approaching at the end of the week, all eyes will be watching the Hill to see if some sort of spending bill actually make it to the President’s desk before Friday midnight. There has still not been an announcement of a compromise spending bill being ready to come to the floor. It is looking increasingly like another CR will be required if a partial shutdown is to be averted.
