The Oversight and Government Reform Committee announced that the hearing previously scheduled for Wednesday, January 16, 2008, has been rescheduled to Wednesday, February 13, 2008.

Media note: If you are planning to attend either hearing, please advise the Committee press office in advance. Media credentials will be required and can be obtained through the House press galleries.

Chairman Henry A. Waxman and Ranking Minority Member Tom Davis released the following joint statement:

“The Oversight Committee will postpone the hearing until February 13, 2008, which is after the sentencing of Kirk Radomski. The witnesses to be invited to the rescheduled hearing are Brian McNamee, Kirk Radomski, Andy Pettitte, Chuck Knoblauch, and Roger Clemens. In preparation for the hearing, we will ask each witness to provide the Committee with a deposition. Postponing the hearing will provide additional time to coordinate the Committee’s investigation with the Justice Department’s ongoing efforts.”

The hearing scheduled for Tuesday, January 15, 2008, at 9:30 a.m. with Sen. George Mitchell, Baseball Commissioner Selig, and Union President Fehr remains unchanged.
