Congress Tackles Vet Employment: The Senate Veterans 
Affairs Committee is holding its first hearing of the New Year on the Administration’s progress with programs to help veterans find employment today. It’s being Web cast live and archived on the committee Web site. Lawmakers expressed concern over recent findings by the Labor Department that veterans aged 20 to 24 are twice as likely as their non-vet counterparts to be jobless.
The Space Development Agency says it’s on track to issue its next batch of missile warning and tracking satellite contracts this month after those awards were delayed by the Pentagon’s decision to divert funds from the agency to pay troops during this fall’s prolonged government shutdown.
