Excerpt: ... 11 tions to the hearing record, that any answers to written questions provided by the witnesses also be included in the record. Without objection it is so ordered.

I don't know if it takes us a year or year and a half until these things get printed in a booklet form but since these are the only hearings being held by Congress on faith-based, they will be the more or less permanent record of the kind of the history of faith-based. There have been some hearings in Congress and debates on pro-visions in law but there aren't hearings looking at what faith-based organizations are actually doing. We are having the debate over discrimination clauses in almost every bill that is coming up right now on the House floor and what makes groups effective but no-body is going to hearings trying to figure out from the groups themselves what makes them effective. We are having the tail wagging the dog right now in that we are trying to get out and hear from the diversity of different groups. We will also be doing a separate committee report at the end of next year like we did on borders in the United States that will pick up the information from the GAO reports, the different CRS re-ports, private sector reports.
