Hello all: I was thinking of going to d.c. to be there for this hearing, but while on the internet, found link to view live committee meetings. Hope this is helpful to at least someone.

It says can view live meetings but haven't tried it. have viewed several old ones.
Please note that Senator Jim Webb’s amendment affirming Congress’s authority to exercise a 60-day review of VA’s decision to add three presumptive illnesses – namely, Parkinson’s, Hairy Cell Leukemias, and ischemic heart disease -- to conditions linked to Agent Orange exposure during the war in Vietnam will not hold up benefits for these conditions.

As part of an ongoing review of VA’s disability compensation program, the Committee has scheduled a hearing on VA’s Presumptive Decision-Making at 9:30 am on September 23, 2010. These proceedings are not intended to delay benefits for the three new conditions, but to provide Committee Members with a better understanding of the role of science and other elements in this process. You may view the hearing through the Committee’s website.
