Government Document of the Month: April

The dictionary’s definition for Hearing is described as “an instance or a session in which official testimony and arguments are presented.”  Blackwell Library receives many Hearings from the Government Printing Office each month which perfectly fits the dictionary’s explanation.  The document of the month for April features a small sampling of these Hearings.  Two are from Committees on Foreign Relations from the House and the Senate:  Peace Corps, the Next 50 Years and Afghanistan and Pakistan:  Transition and the Way Forward.  Another one is from the Committee on Education and the Workforce in the House of Representatives titled Keeping College Within Reach.  Another is from the Committee on Small Business also from the House titled Examining the Barriers for Small Business Contractors at the DOD.   Though at times it seems as if the government doesn’t operate as it should, glancing through these Hearings gives a better idea of the inner workings of Congress and how busy they really are.  The display is located on the first floor of the library in the Government Document section.
