Review – Committee Hearings – Week of 4-6-25

With both the House and Senate in Washington there is a relatively normal level of Committee hearings scheduled for this week. In the House we have a biotechnology hearing and two markup hearings of potential interest here. In the Senate we have a space geek hearing and a look at daylight savings time (okay not a topic here, but interesting none-the-less).

Biotechnology Report

On Tuesday, the Subcommittee on Cyber, Information Technologies, and Innovation of the House Armed Services Committee will hold a hearing on “Final Report of the National Security Commission for Emerging Biotechnology”.

Markup Hearings

On Wednesday, the House Foreign Affairs Committee will hold a business meeting that will consider eight bills, including an as of yet unintroduced “To provide for control of remote access of items under the Export Control Reform Act of 2018.”

On Wednesday, the House Homeland Security Committee will hold a business meeting that will consider twelve bills, including an as of yet unintroduced “Strengthening Cyber Resilience Against State-Sponsored Threats Act”.

Space Geek Hearings

On Wednesday, the Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee will hold a nomination hearing with testimony from Jared Isaacman who is being considered for the position of Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
