Transcripts and Public Evidence The highly classified nature of the ISC's work means that it hears evidence in closed session. Very occasionally the Committee may hold a public session, in which case the transcript of that session will be listed on this page. Written submissions associated with reports will also be listed on this page where the author has given their consent.
