Jason,

CSPAN should cover this, they have two meetings:

One at 10AM :

http://commerce.senate.gov/hearings/wit ... fm?id=1567

and another at 2:30PM (Shapiro is at 2:30)

http://commerce.senate.gov/hearings/wit ... fm?id=1568

I talked to Megan this morning (CEA) and she mentioned that it would be pretty crowded, I am not
sure I will go, too many years in the traffic and parking mess of DC for me.

I think we will see nothing we do not know already, but if I go I sure will bring my gas mask and my
Government approved roll of duct tape with me.

Best Regards,

Rodolfo La Maestra
