Santorum to Hold Hearings
On
Tuesday, September 13, 2005 at 10:00 am, the Senate Finance
Committee’s Subcommittee on Social Security and Family Policy
will hold a hearing titled, “Charities on the
Frontline: How the Nonprofit Sector Meets the Needs of
America’s Communities.” The
hearing will take place in Room 106 Dirksen Senate Office Building
The
Subcommittee, which is chaired by Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA), is
expected to focus on the importance of the U.S
charitable sector, the sector’s response to Hurricane Katrina
and the need for Congress to enact the charitable giving incentives
contained in the CARE Act. While charitable reform is not the
focus of the hearing, we expect a number of Senators to ask questions
related to the Senate Finance Committee’s reform
proposals. The following witnesses will testify:
Luke
Hingson, President, Brother’s Brother Foundation, Pittsburgh, PA
Major
George Hood, Director of National Community Relations and Development,
The Salvation Army, Alexandria, VA
Dr.
Bob Reccord, President and CEO, North American Mission Board, Southern
Baptist Convention, Alpharetta, GA
Dr.
William G. Gale, Senior Fellow, The Brookings Institution, Washington, DC
Dr. Eugene Steuerle, Senior Fellow, Urban Institute, Washington,
