WASHINGTON- House Majority Whip Roy Blunt (Mo.) today issued the following statement following a meeting among House leaders and committee chairmen to discuss the findings of field hearings on border security held during the August district work period:

"Policy Committee Chairman Adam Putnam will convene a hearing next week during which our committee chairmen will speak directly about the border security field hearings they held across the country last month.
