The House-Senate budget conference committee will hold a public meeting Monday afternoon, the chambers’ Budget committees announced Thursday.

Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) appointed Budget Committee Chairman Tom Price (Ga.), Vice Chairman Todd Rokita (Ind.) and committee members Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (Fla.), Diane Black (Tenn.) and John Moolenaar (Mich.) to the panel.

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) appointed all members on the minority side of the budget panel: ranking member Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Democratic Sens. Patty Murray (Wash.), Ron Wyden (Ore.), Debbie Stabenow (Mich.), Sheldon Whitehouse (R.I.), Mark Warner (Va.), Jeff Merkley (Ore.), Tammy Baldwin (Wis.), Tim Kaine (Va.) and independent Angus King (Maine).

The three House Democratic conferees are Rep. Chris Van Hollen (Md.), the House Budget panel’s ranking member, and Reps. Gwen Moore (Wis.) and John Yarmuth (Ky.).
