A Dialogue on Defense

On Monday October 22nd at 12:00 noon, ALL will be hosting a panel of professional staffers from the four key Congressional defense oversight committees -- the House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee (HAC-D), House Armed Services Committee (HASC), the Senate Defense Appropriations Subcommittee (SAC-D), and the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC).

Committed speakers include:

• Bob Simmons, Staff Director (Majority), House Armed Services
• Creighton Greene, Pro-Staff (Majority), Senate Armed Services
• Betsy Schmid, Pro-Staff (Majority), Senate Defense Appropriations
• Invited -- House Defense Appropriations (Staff TBD -- Will be updated soon).

These four staffers are working directly on the front lines on all programmatic and policy issues affecting the defense industry. Attend this event and hear directly from them what challenges and opportunities are currently facing the defense industry -- the challenges of the defense budgeting in the current economy, the competition between priorities in 2013, and the potential adverse impacts of "sequestration" in 4 months. You will also have time to ask them questions directly. This event is off-the-record.

Join us for the important opportunity to hear from those most closely involved in the current defense debate. This is the one event you will not want to miss. Registration is limited. The panel will be held at the Capitol Hill Club from 12pm to 1:30pm (lunch is included) Member registration: $50 Nonmember registration: $75
