I want to talk about No. 4, which states that each witness or group of witnesses has a total of 10 minutes for an opening statement.
No. 1 reads as follows:
[...]That the Committee authorize the Clerk to contact witnesses and attempt to find groupings that reflect the overall desire of each party and, that each grouping be focussed by subjects[...]
So, if I correctly understand No. 4, paragraph two, a number of different organizations could be grouped together, and they will only be allowed 10 minutes. Is that correct?
You could take groups such as the World Wildlife Fund, or a people's advocacy association of a particular city, or a tenants association of another, put them together into one group and give them 10 minutes. Is that what this would mean?
