Senate Committee Hearings: Arranging Witnesses



Valerie Heitshusen
Analyst on Congress and the Legislative Process

Selecting witnesses is one of the most important aspects of planning a Senate hearing. Committees and subcommittees pay careful attention to which viewpoints will be represented, who should testify, and the order and format for presenting witnesses. A witness must be invited by a committee in order to testify; standing committees and their subcommittees also may subpoena reluctant witnesses.
