There’s a congressional committee in Washington, D.C. that meets out of the public eye - in a room beneath the Capitol. It’s called the Emerging Threats Subcommittee, and it discusses trends in national security. Much of what the committee discusses is secret, but Congressman Mike Quigley from Chicago’s North Side is on that committee.
Quigley recently sat down with WBEZ’s Tony Arnold to talk about the work and what he sees as some of the country’s misplaced spending priorities when it comes to national security.
