    rights.

        (h) Witnesses providing unsworn testimony to the Committee may 
    be given a transcript of such testimony for the purpose of making

    permitted to alter the substance of their testimony. Any question 
    involving such corrections shall be decided by the Chairman.

Senate shall govern the actions of the Committee. Each subcommittee of 
the Committee is part of the Committee, and is therefore subject to the 
Committee's rules so far as applicable.

    15. Powers and Duties of Subcommittees.--Each subcommittee is 
authorized to meet, hold hearings, receive evidence, and report to the 
full Committee on all matters referred to it. Subcommittee chairmen, 
after consultation with Ranking Minority Members of the subcommittees, 
shall set dates for hearings and meetings of their respective 
subcommittees after consultation with the Chairman and other 
subcommittee chairmen with a view toward avoiding simultaneous 
scheduling of full Committee and subcommittee meetings or hearings 
whenever possible.
