As a new member, I totally disagree with the premise of the last comment, because I have the ability to review all the testimony from the witnesses, and it's also been put forward as a motion that they can supply additional information because of the changed context. I can review that information when they submit it. As a new member of the committee who was not part of that earlier discussion, I feel all of that can be in the context of this new discussion with other people who will appear as witnesses, so I am not feeling handicapped in any way.
