Drones To Be Focus of Thursday House Manufacturing Subcommittee Hearing

The House Commerce, Manufacturing and Trade Subcommittee plans a hearing Thursday on the uses and economic impact of drones. Chairman Michael Burgess, R-Texas, said in a statement there's a lot of innovation around the development of drones, but there are also "legitimate questions about how drones work, what technologies are being developed to ensure the public's safety and privacy, and how drones could help businesses better serve consumers." The hearing is scheduled for 10:15 a.m. in 2123 Rayburn.
