Senators Nelson and Hutchison are the chair and ranking minority member on the relevant subcommittee. It will be interesting to see what is said, if anything, regarding a summit. This would be a good opportunity to push it, if they wanted to join with Mikulski.

I have not heard of any movement since Mikulski’s original call for a summit and assume that it has either fallen on deaf ears (doubtful that the White House will recant its budget request) and that Mikulski has not done much follow-up (at least yet). But I may not have the full scoop. Anyone else?
