When are the Pet Food Recall Hearings?

The Senate hearing is today at 2 p.m. ET. The Webcast will be here, and C-SPAN will also be carrying it.

SENATE HEARING ON PET FOOD CONTAMINATION TO BE HELD THURSDAY, APRIL 12th

Monday, April 9, 2007

[CHICAGO, IL] - U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) today confirmed that the U.S. Senate will hold an oversight hearing on the ongoing investigation and the regulatory mechanisms that govern the pet food industry as the widespread recall of contaminated pet food continues. Durbin, a member of the Senate Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee, has worked with Senator Herb Kohl (D-WI), the Chairman of the Subcommittee, to schedule the hearing which will be held at 2:00 p.m. (1:00 p.m. Central Time) on Thursday, April 12, 2007 in Room 192 Dirksen Senate Office Building.



Spocko's listening.

For those of you who are super cynical, be aware that this is a START it doesn't have to the end of hearings. And if it doesn't answer all the questions, it might shed some light on what is broken and what is needed.

What ever happens from here on out a hearty Vulcan hand salute goes out to Sen. Durbin and his staff for their hard work on this issue.
