IGR HEARINGS
Mr. MUSKIE. Mr. President, on January 30 and 31, the Subcommittee on Intergovernmental Relations will begin hearings to determine the impact of the recession and inflation on State and local governments.
The purpose of these hearings is to determine whether an emergency Federal program is necessary in order to prevent the fiscal crunch at the State and local levels from undercutting Federal efforts to spur economic recovery.
Witnesses at the hearings will include mayors representing the U.S. Conference of Mayors and the National League of Cities, county officials, and Governors.
The hearings will be held in room 3302 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building. On January 30, the hearing will begin at 9:30 a.m. and on January 31 it will begin at 1.0 a.m.
