That issue has gained additional attention in recent months after Department of Veterans Affairs estimates showed little improvement in prevention efforts over the last few years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<strong>Tuesday, Dec. 3<\/strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\nSenate Armed Services \u2014 9:30 a.m. \u2014 G50 Dirksen<br>\r\n<i>Military privatized housing<\/i><br>\r\nService officials will testify on improvements to private military housing and processes for tenant complaints. <br>\r\n<br>\r\nSenate Foreign Relations \u2014 9:45 a.m. \u2014 419 Dirksen <br>\r\n<i>Russia<\/i><br>\r\nState Department officials will testify on U.S. policy towards Russia. <br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Wednesday, Dec. 4<\/strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\nSenate Armed Services \u2014 10 a.m. \u2014 106 Dirksen Bldg.<br>\r\n<i>Ship\/Submarine Maintenance<\/i><br>\r\nNavy officials will testify on ship maintenance strategies. <br>\r\n<br>\r\nHouse Foreign Affairs \u2014 2 p.m. \u2014 2172 Rayburn <br>\r\n<i>New START Treaty<\/i><br>\r\nFormer Joint Chiefs Chairman retired Adm.
