Weekly Rounds

It's going to be a busy week up on the Hill, y'all. Hillary Clinton, fresh off her whirlwind trip to Geneva (where she not only talked tough on Libya, but also on the Fissile Material Cutoff Treaty, if you missed it), is testifying a total of four, count 'em, four times in front of Senate and House committees on Tuesday and Wednesday.

She'll be on the House side Tuesday at 9:30 am and 2 pm (Foreign Affairs and Approps Subcommittee, respectively) talking the FY 2012 State and Foreign Ops Budget and then, if you didn't get enough, she'll be doing the same routine for their Senate counterparts the following day.

If you tire easily of drab hearing rooms, there are a number of other interesting events going in other parts of Washington, as well  ('What?!' Cry lawmakers, 'How is such a thing possible in our absence?!?'). A couple of note:

Former NSA Gen Jim Jones is headlining a Bipartisan Policy Center panel on Yemen: The Next Egypt?
3/1, 2:30 pm

And U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs Kurt Campbell will speak at a Progressive Policy Institute event entitled "Defusing Tensions on the Korean Peninsula" -- otherwise known as the international security crisis getting the least ink right now.
3/2, 2 pm. at the UC Washington Center
