Google CEO Eric Schmidt will join President Obama and former President Bill Clinton as speakers at this week's House Democratic Caucus retreat.
Schmidt will speak Wednesday night at the Library of Congress, while President Obama addresses lawmakers Thursday and Clinton will talk about health care Friday. In addition to health legislation, the issues conference will also focus on jobs and national security as well as the political landscape heading into the fall elections. Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Chris Van Hollen of Maryland kicks off the conference Wednesday afternoon with a closed-door political briefing at DCCC headquarters. Thursday's events, including Obama's remarks, are being billed as a jobs summit, although members will receive a classified national security briefing. According to the agenda, lawmakers will hear from unnamed "prominent speakers" who will focus on "job creation and innovation."
