INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROVIDING WRITTEN
TESTIMONY FOR FISCAL YEAR 2009

The subcommittee will not hold public witness hearings to receive testimony from outside organizations.  However, the subcommittee will include in the official hearing record written statements submitted by organizations with an interest in Federal programs under the subcommittee’s jurisdiction.  This testimony will be reviewed and given full consideration when the subcommittee prepares the fiscal year 2009 appropriations bill.

Testimony must be received no later than 6:00 pm on Wednesday, April 30, 2008 for it to be included in the printed hearing volume.  Current mail handling measures have complicated Congressional mail procedures, hence the subcommittee strongly recommends submitting testimony via electronic mail to frank.carrillo@mail.house.gov or by fax to (202) 226-6692.

Written statements must:
•    Not exceed ten pages,
•    Be singled-spaced on letter size paper,
•    Be at least 12 point font and have one inch margins, and
•    Clearly indicate your name, title, and institutional affiliation at the top of the first page.

Do not include color and/or detailed photos since the testimony will be photographically reproduced.  Charts and other supplemental materials may be provided, however printing of such material is at the discretion of the subcommittee. 

In addition to the electronic mail copy, please submit four, unstapled copies to the subcommittee office:

Subcommittee on Financial Services and General Government
