I'm not certain why we would change it to “briefing”. “Study” leaves open the option of making recommendations. It doesn't require us to make recommendations. If we change it to a briefing, then we have to go through a lot of rigmarole to make recommendations if we decided we wanted to do that. A study doesn't require recommendations; it just leaves us that as an option that we could consider. If we do it as a briefing, I'm not sure how we would get to any recommendations that we would present to the House. I'm sure we could probably figure out a way to do it, but it would take a lot of juggling of the rules to do that.
I would like to see us leave the option open. We may have something quite non-controversial that we all agree on—that would be a miracle—but we should leave that option open.
