Hearings/Meetings
Note: The Committee's goal is to provide access to
electronic transcripts of all hearings and markups as soon as possible.
However, not all can be considered "complete transcripts for the
record," as they may not contain questions and answers and/or other
printed material submitted for the record. In addition, although the
utmost care is taken to present an accurate record of each meeting,
light editing of the transcript has been allowed for readability.
