COMMITTEE HEARINGS.

After a bill is assigned to a congressional committee, a hearing is frequently scheduled. The
primary function of the hearing is to provide committee members with information that may be
useful in their consideration of the bill. In many instances, transcripts of the hearings are published.
Although committee hearings do not contain congressional deliberations, they may contain
information supplied by non-legislators as to what the non-legislators thought the bill under
consideration should accomplish. In addition, the views of some of the committee members may be
gleaned from their statements made while questioning a particular speaker.
