Committee Maintains Focus on Economy and Jobs
Washington,
May 13, 2011 -
Financial Services Committee Chairman Spencer Bachus announced the Committee’s planned schedule for the weeks of May 23 and May 30. The schedule shows the Committee will continue focusing on policies that encourage economic growth and job creation.
“Promoting policies that will strengthen our economy and create jobs remains our Committee’s top priority,” said Chairman Bachus. “With the nation’s unemployment rate at nine percent -- almost two years after the recession was declared over -- we will maintain our focus on economic growth and new jobs in the coming weeks.”
The schedule remains tentative and will depend upon witness availability and other factors that may require changes. Therefore, each meeting will become final only when the official notice is distributed. Hearing witnesses will be announced at later dates.
