Bart Stupak's committee is having another FDA hearing on Wednesday, May 14.  It begins at 10 AM Eastern time.  I don't know if C-SPAN will carry the broadcast.  If not, here's a link for those who have a media player:

SandiK,

I saved the link (http://energycommerce.house.gov/membios/schedule.shtml) in my favorites, so I can check the schedule. 

Also, when you watch the hearings, Bart will sometimes mention that there'll be another hearing.

Bart isn't one of my guys (I wish), but he's terrific.  Loved it when he rattled the 21 page recall list at Dr. von E.  You can see the u-Tube video on Bart's website.

Representative Dingell is a hoot.  He treats the FDA speakers as hostile witnesses, and tells them to answer "yes" or "no" to his questions.

I can't contact Bart via his website because I live in Kansas (the home of poisoned pet food), but I sent an email to the committee's website.
