Advisory Committee will issue a final report to the Attorney General 
presenting its findings and comprehensive policy recommendations in the 
fall of 2014.

2014 (full-day session), beginning at 8:30 a.m. A post-hearing debrief

exposed to violence. The afternoon session will likely include 
presentations from witnesses invited to brief the AIAN Advisory 
Committee on measuring and describing American Indian/Alaska Native 
children's exposure to violence and existing programs that attempt to 
address this issue.
