On-Line Hearings

[Carl Malamud <carl@trystero.malamud.com>]

Congressman Edward J. Markey has asked that the July 26 On-Line
Hearings be delayed until October or November until issues regarding
the propriety of private corporate donations to the congressional
infrastructure are resolved.  While it is clearly allowable for
a corporation to bring in computers if they are testifying, there
is as yet no precedent for an on-line congressional hearing and
the Subcommittee and the Congressman would like to make sure that
any issues are carefully examined.  

I will be posting a personal note shortly.
