This week both the House and Senate will be in Washington,
but there will only be a limited number of hearings being held, mainly focusing
in the Senate on confirmation hearings. Two of those this week may be of
specific interest to readers of this blog; confirmation hearings of DHS and DOT
Secretaries.
DHS Secretary
On Tuesday, the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental
Affairs Committee will be holding a
hearing on the confirmation of General John F. Kelly, USMC (Ret.) to be the
Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. I suspect that we will be
hearing some talk about cybersecurity matters, but it will be short on details.
DOT Secretary
On Wednesday, the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation
Committee will be holding a hearing
on the confirmation of Elaine Chao to be the Secretary of the Department of
Transportation. I suspect that there will be some mention of vehicle automation
and chemical transportation safety issues, but again no details.
