Donovan to hold hearing on Obama anti-terror funding cuts
U.S. Rep. Dan Donovan, who has been tapped to head a House subcommittee on emergency preparedness, will hold a hearing on March 15 on President Barack Obama’s proposed cut in anti-terrorism funding.
Patrick Ryan, Donovan’s communications director, told the Brooklyn Eagle that the hearing will take place on Capitol Hill and that the congressman is eager to hear from witnesses about the possible impacts of the cut the president is proposing.
Donovan (R-C-Southwest Brooklyn-Staten Island) was appointed by House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-Texas) to serve as chairman of the Subcommittee on Emergency Preparedness, Response and Communications. Donovan is also a member of the Homeland Security Committee.
