Review - Committee Hearings – Week of 11-17-24

This is week 2 of the lame duck session of the 118^th Congress. Significantly more hearing action this week. There will be two homeland security threat hearings, two cybersecurity hearings and one markup hearing. Nothing of particular interest here scheduled for floor action.

Homeland Security Threats

Both Homeland Security committees (House and Senate)will hear this week from the administration security folks about current threats.

Cybersecurity Hearings

Tomorrow the Transportation and Maritime Security Subcommittee of the House Committee on Homeland Security will hold a hearing on “Impacts of Emergency Authority Cybersecurity Regulations on the Transportation Sector”.

Also on Tuesday, the Subcommittee on Privacy, Technology, and the Law of the Senate Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on “Big Hacks & Big Tech: China’s Cybersecurity Threat”.

Markup Hearing

On Wednesday, the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee will hold a business meeting to consider five nominations, 22 bills (including three cybersecurity related bills), and seven postal service facility naming bills.
