It's recorded. I receive the transcripts. For instance, for one of the motions of Mr. Albas that I divided, I receive the blues. It's kept in my office and it's only to be seen by the members or one of the designated staff based on the motion that was adopted. It's not public and it's not distributed to anybody.
I keep it because sometimes it could happen that I have to refer to it to make sure that the minutes of the committee will reflect exactly what was mentioned or what was adopted. It's especially helpful when there is a draft report debated. If there was a change in the wording or something, we keep track and the analysts keep track. Sometimes it's really good to be able to refer to the transcript in order to make sure that it reflects the discussion. Since nothing can be published outside, the transcript is kept by the clerk.
