Congressional Hearings
This page will provide convenient access to the testimony at government hearings on topics related to health fraud and quackery. Some hearings highlight serious problems. Others, however—particularly those held by Dan Burton (D-IL) and his House Committee on Government Reform—provide a platform for quackery promoters. Casewatch will develop this archive in two steps. First we will locate relevant documents on the GPO Access site. The we will organize and post them for convenient access.
