Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., said he isn’t ready to say who might be asked to testify at the future hearings.

At its most recent hearing, held Sept. 10, the subcommittee heard from representatives of four U.S. chip manufacturers, who testified that their companies are increasing their scrutiny of products found in Russian arms to help them stem the flow (see 2409110064). Blumenthal told Export Compliance Daily he intends to monitor their efforts to ensure they follow through on their commitments.

During its first hearing, held in February, the subcommittee received testimony from three researchers (see 2402270065).
