Review – Committee Hearings – Week of 1-18-26

With just the House in Washington this week, and that a short, 3-day week, there is a lite hearing schedule. We have a DHS oversight hearing and a transportation security hearing on the schedule. On the floor we are looking for the last minibus spending bill.

Oversight Hearings

On Wednesday the House Homeland Security Committee will hold an oversight hearing on “Oversight of the Department of Homeland Security: CISA, TSA, S&T”.

Transportation Security

On Wednesday the Subcommittee on Oversight of the House Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on “Embedded Threats: Foreign Ownership, Hidden Hardware, and Licensing Failures in America’s Transportation Systems”.

On the Floor

There is only one item of potential interest here on this weeks House schedule; on the bottom of the page is a note: “Consideration of items related to FY26 Appropriations are possible.” This is likely to take the form of either a 4^th minibus covering DHS, LHH, and THUD (the remaining spending bills that the House has yet to pass) or a continuing resolution covering those agencies.
