She believes that Gowdy will put out some kind of “progress report” today, since today marks the first anniversary of the Select Committee’s authorization (who knew?). She thinks that either in the report or in his comments, there will be some indication of what he thinks he has in store for us. Gowdy has not requested time on Cummings’ calendar for the week of May 18, and the House is out the week of May 25. It is in session all during June, and Susanne thinks it’s conceivable they might try to schedule HRC in June. But she thinks he’ll try to use the present standoff as a reason why the Committee can’t move faster. > > David E.
