House Armed Services Hearings Address 9/11 Recommendations
Will receive testimony from Commission's Chairman and Vice Chairman
Washington, D.C. - As a
member of the House Armed Services Committee (HASC), Congressman
Todd Akin (R-MO) will attend hearings this week regarding the
recommendations of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks
on the United States (also known as the 9/11 commission). The
hearings will focus on the role of the Department of Defense
in national intelligence.
Today, August 10 from 10-12:00 pm Eastern, the House Armed Services
Committee will hear testimony from both Thomas Kean, Chairman
of the 9/11 Commission and Lee Hamilton, Vice Chairman of the
9/11 Commission.
"The commission has worked hard to produce a nonpartisan report
that avoids as much as possible partisan conflict and focuses
solely on improving homeland security," said Akin. "The administration
has also shown great commitment and initiative when it comes
to making our nation safer and more able to defend against future
terrorist attacks. I look forward to exploring how recommendations
by the commission may help improve the efficiency or otherwise
affect the work of various defense intelligence agencies."
For further information on this week's hearings, or to schedule
an interview with Congressman Akin contact Steve Taylor at (314)
590-0029.
