Featured House hearings: Security and gas prices

House members next week will spend a considerable amount of time on foreign affairs and national security issues, although high gas prices will also be a focus.

The House Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday will hold a hearing to assess threats to the U.S. after the death of Osama bin Laden. On the same day, the House Foreign Affairs Committee meets to discuss whether Congress needs to approve further military action in Libya.

On Tuesday, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee meets to assess policies that hurt domestic production of oil and gas. The next day, the House Natural Resources Committee will meet to look at how rising gas prices are affecting U.S. job creation.
