This Week in Washington: King Highlights Budget, NDAA, Judgeship Nomination, and Intel Hearing

WASHINGTON, D.C. – As part of his ongoing effort to keep people at home apprised of his work in the nation’s capital, U.S. Senator Angus King took a few minutes to share this week’s accomplishments in the Senate. 

In his weekly address Senator King discussed:

  • Passage of the 2013 Bipartisan Budget Act which sets a spending limit for the current fiscal year, provides partial relief from the sequester, maintains important deficit reductions, and provides the American people with the sense of economic predictability they deserve and need.
  • His testimony at an open meeting of the Intelligence Committee during which he and other committee members listened to testimony from Ms. Caroline Krass, the President’s nominee to be General Counsel to the CIA.
  • Comments made by Senator Collins and himself in support of Justice Jon Levy, of Portland, to serve on the U.S. District Court for the District of Maine.
  • His expectations for final passage of the 2014 National Defense Authorization Act and its implications for the state of Maine.

The full video of Senator King’s recap can be viewed below. Also, a broadcast quality version of the video can be downloaded here.
