| Congressional Hearings | These are the submitted Written Testimony of witnesses invited to testify before Congressional (sub)Committees with interest in and/or jurisdiction over this issue. Actual oral remarks are much shorter and, along with any subsequent interactions between members and Witnesses, are part of the Hearing Transcript which is eventually published. That process can take soem considerable time and those documents are not yet available. | |||||||
