VoterWatch’s Congress Daily: Monday, April 14, 2008

While today is a relatively slow day on the Hill, tomorrow will be full of Congressional activity.  Currently, there are 10 Senate committee hearings scheduled for Tuesday, April 4, 2008.  While there are no Senate hearings scheduled for today, two House hearings are currently posted. 

At 5:00 p.m., the House Committee on Appropriations will be meeting.  Currently, the committee’s web site provides an out-of-date schedule (the previous week’s meetings), but the following information regarding this committee hearing is available from the daily schedule of House committee meetings:

Select Intelligence Oversight Panel.  On the National Reconnaissance Office and National Geospatial Intelligence Agency.  Scott Large, Director, National Reconnaissance Office; Robert Murrett, Director, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.  H-140 Capitol.

At 5:00 p.m. there is also a full committee meeting scheduled to address H.R. 2634 -Jubilee Act for Responsible Lending and Expanded Debt Cancellation.  The last major action that occurred surrounding this bill was on April 10, 2008 (placed on the Union Calendar). 

According to THOMAS, the bill’s purpose is, “To provide for greater responsibility in lending and expanded cancellation of debts owed to the United States and the international financial institutions by low-income countries, and for other purposes.”

That’s all for today.  Come back tomorrow for a full disclosure of committee activity. VoterWatch’s Congress Daily will have more information on the day’s House and Senate committee hearings/meetings before 10 a.m. tomorrow morning.
