Testimony in Open Forum
Listed by Date 



    
Most sessions consisted of invited testimony followed by a period when anyone in the audience could speak for five minutes.  Some speakers presented prepared remarks and, often, submitted extended comments for the record. 0thers offered no written testimony.  For a variety of reasons  the quality of the transcribed testimony is highly variable (see: Word from the Editor Regarding the Transcripts).  We have elected to separate prepared presentations, submitted for the record, from extemporaneous testimony that was transcribed.
