Do You Wish You Could Have Attended the Senate's Smithsonian Hearings?
Now you can. The prepared statements by Smithsonian honchos are already up on the website of the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration. And in her opening remarks today, Sen. Diane Feinstein wasted no time in calling for an overhaul of the Smithsonian's board. The GAO's Mark Goldstein was also on hand, to report on how the infrastructure is crumbing.
The link for viewing the hearing itself does not work at this writing, but hopefully Congressional tech support is rushing to the scene.
So if you can't wait for the pundits to weigh in (or you just want to form your own opinion), download the statements and start talking amongst yourselves.
