Two Terrorism-Related Congressional Hearings This Week
By Andrew Cochran
Just two open terrorism-related hearings in the U.S. Congress this week: The U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee will hold an oversight hearing this Tuesday on the FBI. Topics are likely to include the extent of information sharing with other agencies (or lack thereof) and the status of troubled FBI computer systems. The U.S. House Government Reform Committee's national security subcommittee will review the viability of future U.N. sanctions in light of the Oil-for-Food scandal and proposed U.N. management reforms. The U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., John Bolton, and others will testify. Considering the tension now existing over Iran's nuclear capabilities and terrorism connections, this hearing is timely and provide some insight into the Bush Administration's intentions.
