Negotiations on that work are expected to resume immediately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside that work, congressional committees will resume their oversight of various issues. For the military community, the most prominent one this week will be the House Armed Services Committee\u2019s first public hearing on the ongoing water contamination issues with the <a

Hawaii. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Evidence of petroleum pollution was found in tap water for military housing on Joint Base Pearl Habor-Hickam in early December. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since then, lawmakers and outside advocates have called for quicker action from lawmakers on the problem, including an order from the Hawaii governor\u2019s office to immediately drain the strategic fuel reserves to prevent any future contamination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<strong>Tuesday, Jan. 11<\/strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\nHouse Appropriations \u2014 10 a.m. \u2014 online
