Putin cannot be allowed to continue to violate landmarkarms control treaties without severe consequences. I hope that we can move past the finger-wagging stage and finally show the Russians that their actions will have serious repercussions. I look forward to hearing what option this Administration has drawn up to punish Putin.\u201d\n\u00a0\nWHAT:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Joint Subcommittee Hearing: \u201cRussian Arms Control Cheating and the Administration\u2019s Responses\u201d\nWHEN:\u00a0Wednesday, December 10th at 2:00 p.m.\nWHERE: 2118 Rayburn House Office Building\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\n\u00a0\nWitness List: \nThe Honorable Rose Gottemoeller\nUnder Secretary for Arms Control and International Security\nU.S. Department of State\n\u00a0\nThe Honorable Brian McKeon\nPrincipal Deputy Under Secretary for Policy\nU.S. Department of Defense\n\u00a0\n*Note:\u00a0 Witnesses may be added\n-###-", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["http://mike-rogers.house.gov/press-release/look-ahead-strategic-forces-subcommittee"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9873928502202034, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
