This week with both the House and Senate back in Washington from their Spring Break, there is a fairly busy hearing schedule. The House will be working on their reconciliation bill. Additionally there will be a cUAS hearing and one markup session of interest in the House. The Senate continues to focus on nomination hearings but also includes a hearing on the defense industrial base cybersecurity.
