The House Armed Services Strategic Forces Subcommittee, chaired by Congressman Mike Rogers (R-AL) will hold a hearing on Tuesday, January 12, 2016 at 3:30 p.m. in 2118 Rayburn House Office Building titled, “National Academies Study on Peer Review and Design Competition in the NNSA National Security Laboratories.”

Chairman Rogers said: “The subcommittee tasked the National Academies with this study to get an objective, non-partisan panel of experts to review two important foundations of the U.S. nuclear weapons program. Robust peer review and design competitions for nuclear weapons are absolutely essential to the long-term health and reliability of the U.S. nuclear deterrent. The National Academies’ conclusion that it is ‘deeply concerned about the state of design competition’ at the nuclear weapons laboratories should be a wakeup call. This committee will continue to take action, as it did in the FY2015 and 2016 defense authorization acts and ensure the Administration corrects this glaring deficiency."
