House to Hold Recovery Act Oversight Hearing Tomorrow

[1]In case it wasn't clear in my last post, tomorrow, Nov. 19, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee will be holding a stimulus oversight hearing. It will be the Committee's fifth Recovery Act hearing, the first serious stimulus oversight hearing in Congress since this past July. The hearing, called "Tracking the Money: How Recovery Act Recipients Account for Their Use of Stimulus Dollars [2]," has the usual cast of characters, in that both Earl Devaney, Chairman of the Recovery Board, and Gene Dodaro, Acting Comptroller General of the Government Accountability Office, will both be testifying, along with representatives from the Departments of Transportation and Education. Hopefully the hearing will be better than the last Congressional hearing on the Recovery Act, which wasn't all that useful [3].

The hearing starts at 10 am, in Rayburn, room 2154. If you can't make it, the hearing will be webcast, which is available on the Committee's website [4].
