STRATCOM CHIEF HANEY TO APPEAR BEFORE HASC NEXT WEEK

Strategic Command chief Adm. Cecil Haney will appear before the House Armed Services Committee for the first time next week. Haney will testify before the committee alongside Pacific Command chief Adm. Samuel Locklear at 10 a.m. Tuesday in Room 2118 of the Rayburn House Office Building. Haney’s appearance before the committee will come on the same day that President Obama is expected to submit top-line Fiscal Year 2015 budget numbers to Congress. The Capitol Hill appearance will be Haney’s second since taking over as the head of Strategic Command late last year. Haney is scheduled to appear before the Senate Armed Services Committee at 9:30 a.m. today.
