Hello Friend,

In case you missed it or would like to review, we have now posted audio from the last Congressional Oversight Training Series (COTS) seminar, "How to Prepare For An Oversight Hearing." Click the links below to download the mp3s of our panelists' remarks:

• Remarks by Linda Gustitus, former Chief of Staff for Senator Carl Levin

• Remarks by Steve Castor, Senior Counsel, House Committee on Oversight and Gov't Reform, Darrell Issa, Ranking Member

• Remarks by Leigh Ann Caldwell, DC Editor and Reporter, Free Speech Radio News (FSRN)/Pacifica

Stay tuned for details on the next seminar, "Overcoming Common Obstacles in your Investigations," scheduled for November 20.

And don't forget to check out our Whistleblower Film Series screening tonight at 6:30 P.M. in room 2247 of the Rayburn House Office Building.  We'll be showing The Insider and hosting a discussion with Dr. Jeffrey Wigand, the whistleblowing protagonist who endured personal and professional attacks after he sought to expose misconduct in the tobacco industry.  We would love to see you there!

Regards,

Ingrid Drake
COTS Director
