"House hearings on Katrina next week abruptly canceled

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- House hearings examining the federal government's response to Hurricane Katrina were abruptly canceled by House Republican leaders who prefer an unspecified review by a joint House-Senate panel, House Majority Leader Tom DeLay said Tuesday.

Rep. Tom Davis, the chairman of the House Government Reform Committee, announced earlier in the day that his committee would begin holding hearings next week to get to the bottom of what went wrong in the aftermath of Katrina."
