Senate hearings moved to Thursday; House still Friday

The Senate Banking Committee has rescheduled its next auto industry hearing to Thursday, Dec. 4 starting at 10 am. The next day, the House Financial Services Committee will start hearing testimony at 9:30 am. The three automakers hoping to receive a combined $25 billion in loans will send detailed business plans to Congress tomorrow, December 2; the change in time for the Senate meeting could have been made in response to the expected size of the plan documents.
