Following upon its hearing last week with Administration witnesses, the Senate Foreign Relation Committee will be holding a hearing tomorrow, Thursday, October 4, to hear from persons outside the Administration.  The hearing will take place at 9:30AM EDT in Dirksen 419. The witness list includes:
Panel 1:

+ Admiral Vern Clark, USN (Ret.)
   Former Chief of Naval Operations
   United States Navy
   Phoenix, AZ

+Mr. Bernard H. Oxman
   Professor of Law
   University of Miami School of Law
   Miami, FL

+Mr. Frank J. Gaffney, Jr.
   President
   Center for Security Policy
   Washington, DC

+Mr. Fred L. Smith, Jr.
   President    Competitive Enterprise Institute
   Washington, DC

 Panel 2:

+Mr. Paul C. Kelly
   President
   Gulf of Mexico Foundation
   Houston, TX

+Mr. Joseph J. Cox
   President
   Chamber of Shipping of America
   Washington, DC

+Mr. Douglas R. Burnett
   Partner
   Holland & Knight, LLP
   New York, NY
Given the presence of vocal treaty opponent, Fram Gaffney, I suspect there will be more fireworks than at the previous hearing. Nonetheless, the overwhelming tenor of the hearing should be quite supportive of advice and consent.
