LARSON, Connecticut MELISSA HART, Pennsylvania CHRIS CHOCOLA, Indiana Pursuant to clause 2(e)(4) of Rule XI of the Rules of the House, public hearing records of the Committee on Ways and Means are also published in electronic form. The printed hearing record remains the official version. Because electronic submissions are used to prepare both printed and electronic versions of the hearing record, the process of converting between various electronic formats may introduce unintentional errors or omissions. Such occur- rences are inherent in the current publication process and should diminish as the process is further refined. ii VerDate Aug 31 2005 00:12 Apr 29, 2006 Jkt 026383 PO 00000 Frm 00002 Fmt 0486 Sfmt 0486 E:\HR\OC\26383.XXX 26383 jcorcoran on PROD1PC62 with HEARING C O N T E N T S Page Advisories announcing the hearing ........................................................................ 2 WITNESSES Baird, Hon.
