The US Senate sub-committee on Consumer Protection, Product Safety and Insurance has released its witness list for a hearing on internet gambling scheduled for today (Wednesday) in Washington.
Included on the list is a developer of biometrics software Tom Grissen, Daon Inc. CEO, who will cover technology and its capabilities in ensuring that gambling is kept away from the under aged or problem-prone.
The religious action group Catholic Advocate will be represented by its president Matt Smith. Earlier this year they participated in persuading Congress to support the failed and now defunct Reid-Kyl online poker legalisation bill.
Also participating in previous online gambling hearings was the Fraternal Order of Police, today represented by its president Chuck Canterbury. This action group has in the past asked Congress to clarify the legal position of online gambling, and to review and update existing legislation to better control illegal gambling activity that might be used in the commission of money laundering crimes.
An expert on money laundering matters involved in various Senate investigation, a local lawyer Jack Blum is also disclosed thus far.
The committee opens proceedings, which will be streamed over the internet, mid-morning Eastern Standard Time.
