Congressional direction

Report language is not statute, but it is operationally binding on execution. This is what the corpus contains — committee reports, joint explanatory statements, prints, mandated reports, and the hearing record.

Limitations Hearing dates are the acquisition date embedded in the GPO filename, not the date the hearing was held; they are labelled as ingest dates and never as hearing dates.

Hearing dates in the source filenames are acquisition dates, not the dates hearings were held. They are labelled as ingest dates throughout and no hearing on this page is described as upcoming.

The previous version of this page showed twelve cards under “Upcoming Testimonies”. All twelve carried the same date — the acquisition date embedded in the filename — a chamber name where a committee belonged, a hardcoded witness count of one, and titles that were mostly not defense subject matter, because the extract sorted 1,092 hearings by a constant and took the first twelve. Hearing dates are not available in this corpus, so no hearing date is published; what is published is what the corpus can support.

Defense-related hearing records

Titles matched on defense subject matter. Listed as records held, in identifier order — not as a schedule.

Ingested is the date the document entered the knowledge bank. It is not the hearing date, and is labelled that way everywhere it appears.
