The chairman of the House Democratic Caucus said Sunday that lawmakers will meet for a special joint conference on Wednesday to discuss security measures and concerns in the wake of the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) in her home district Saturday.

Rep. John Larson (D-Conn.) spoke to reporters after about 800 lawmakers, staffers and family members took part in an hour-and-a-half conference call Sunday afternoon.

Larson said the sergeant at arms, Bill Livingood, and Capitol Police Chief Phillip Morse went over specific concerns on the call, but those specific recommendations will be printed out and given to members at the Wednesday conference.

"The primary thing is to make sure all members are coordinating their efforts with local police officials," Larson said.
