>The House Budget Committee travels to Ohio, Arizona, South
>Carolina, New Jersey, and Montana during the next four weeks for
>hearings on federal spending. In announcing the public hearings
>entitled, "How Do We Cut the Federal Budget?," committee chairman
>John Kasich (R-Ohio) said, "We're taking Congress on the road to
>the places that never get asked their opinion...it's about time we
>let the people do the talking and Congress do the listening."
>
>Each field hearing will last about 2 1/2 hours, and is open to the
>public and the media. The sessions are formatted so that "the
>views of the people attending will consume the majority of the
>hearing." Kasich explained, "We want to hear from the real
>America outside the Washington Beltway, the America that pays the
>bills. Simply put, paid lobbyists and professional testifiers have
>had their chance and will not be allowed to speak. It's time to
>hear from everyday people who will share reams of real life
>experience in making ends meet, not reams of special interest
>testimony." The schedule released by the Budget Committee
