  The hearing will be held on Thursday, July 24, 2003 at 2:30 p.m. in 
room SD-366 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building in Washington, DC.
  The purpose of the hearing is to conduct oversight of the competitive 
sourcing effort within the National Park Service. Specifically, the 
Subcommittee would like to gain a better understanding of the process 
for determining inherently governmental positions, the number of 
positions being evaluated, the time schedule and cost for the 
evaluation, the process for keeping personnel informed during the 
evaluation, the progress made to date, and the effect on National Park 
Service management responsibilities.
  Because of the limited time available for the hearings, witnesses may 
testify by invitation only. However, those wishing to submit written 
testimony for the hearing record should send two copies of their 
testimony to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, United 
States Senate, SD-364 Dirksen Senate Office Building, Washington, DC
