Congressman Connolly announced today that the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee will hold a field hearing on technology and the federal government on May 11th in Northern Virginia. The congressional panel will hear testimony from large and small information technology companies and government officials about the top technology issues affecting government today.

Connolly has invited representatives from the private sector, including the Professional Services Council, Microsoft, Google, and a number of smaller information technology companies and their trade associations, as well as government officials from the Office of Management and Budget and the Federal Acquisitions institute to testify at the hearing.
