The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee is slated to begin hearings next week on S. 1733, the Kerry-Boxer Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act. Among those testifying at the hearings will be Brett Vassey, president and CEO of the Virginia Manufacturers' Association, a member of the NAM's State Association Group. In related news, bill sponsor Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) said this week that he will soon ask Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) to set a firm Thanksgiving deadline for completing committee action. S. 1733 has been referred to six committees, and setting the Thanksgiving deadline could set the stage for floor action later this year or early in 2010.
