The hearing, A Review of the FBI Crime Lab: Beyond the Inspector General's (IG) Report, will be held by the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Administrative Oversight and the Courts. Grassley is chairman of this subcommittee. He has been an outspoken advocate for restoring integrity to the leadership of the FBI, and specifically to the management of the lab. The Department of Justice IG released a report in April identifying significant wrongdoing in the FBI crime lab.
"During this hearing, the subcommittee will hear testimony from FBI lab personnel and from FBI management. My investigation has revealed major systemic problems not uncovered by the IG, yet which still serve as barriers to good science and professional law enforcement practices," Grassley said.
A witness list will be available the week of September 22.
