Sen. Saxby Chambliss' Aug. 21 presentation on federal budget sequestration is being sponsored by the Robins Regional Chamber of Commerce and those wishing to attend should make arrangements through the chamber at (478) 922-8585.

The Patriot announcement on Tuesday listed the event as generally open to the public.

The presentation is scheduled for Middle Georgia Technical College beginning at 8:30 a.m.

The Budget Control Act of 2011 will require $1.2 trillion to be pulled from the federal budget over the next ten years beginning in January unless Congress changes the legislation. At least $500 billion will come from national security spending with what has been portrayed as devastating impact on the Pentagon, defense industry and the nation's economy.

To this point, President Obama has said he will veto any effort to prevent sequestration.
