**Collecting Hearing Statements**		
1.  Go to the Committee website and click on 'hearings'
2.  You will need to check back farther than the last date the schedule was updated because there is lag time between when a hearing is posted and when the transcript is posted.
3.  Enter into the appropriate official's admin profile.  Note:  This may be a Governor, a Senator, a Rep or a Cabinet member.  Be sure to check the witness list.  We take opening statements as well as testimony.  Both are marked as hearings.
