This event is posted here because it might be of interest to watch the proceedings of a U.S. senate committee in a setting outside of Washington, D.C.  There is a "Live Webcast" link on the left side of the link above that hopefully will be available, but the hearing is only an hour plus drive away from many areas in Arapahoe County.  Perhaps an inquiry to Senator Udall's office might lead to information on whether the public can attend.
