Mr. President, I would like to announce for the information of the Senate and the public that the hearing before the Subcommittee on Water and Power previously announced for July 1, has been rescheduled and will now be held on Wednesday, July 14, 2010, at 3:30 p.m., in room SD-366 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building. The purpose of this oversight hearing is to examine the Federal response to the discovery of the aquatic invasive species Asian carp in Lake Calumet, Illinois. Because of the limited time available for the hearing, witnesses may testify by invitation only. However, those wishing to submit written testimony for the hearing record should send it to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, United States Senate, Washington, DC 20510-6150, or by email to Gina_Weinstock@energy.senate.gov. For further information, please contact Tanya Trujillo or Gina Weinstock. ____________________
