The meeting is scheduled from 8:00-9:30 a.m., on August 25th. It is free-of-charge and open- to-the-public. Breakfast rolls and coffee will be served.
Grassley invited Iowans to attend this meeting and "bring questions, concerns and opinions about health care, agriculture, Social Security, the budget and taxes, or any other subject they would like to discuss."
A hallmark of Grassley's commitment to make representative government work, the senior senator from Iowa works hard to give individual Iowans a voice in Washington. Since 1981, Grassley has conducted a meeting in each of Iowa's 99 counties at least once every year. He said keeping in touch with Iowans enables him "to bring Iowa common sense to official Washington."
On Capitol Hill, Grassley is chairman of the Senate Aging Committee and a senior member of the Senate Finance, Judiciary, Agriculture, and Budget committees. Grassley is chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on International Trade, where he works to open new world markets for value- added Iowa products.
Grassley is also chairman of the Senate Caucus on International Narcotics Control. Later this month, he will unveil the first-of-its-kind statewide community anti-drug coalition to address the growing drug problem in Iowa. In April, Grassley held a field hearing in Cedar Rapids to examine the production, trafficking and impact of methamphetamine in Iowa.
