Description Met - Our witnesses testified at 85 congressional hearings related to this strategic goal, which exceeded the fiscal year 2009 target by 8 testimonies, about 10 percent. Among the testimonies given were those related to the quality of health care for female veterans, the financial challenges facing the U.S. Postal Service, and wildland fire management. (See p. 33 for a list of testimony topics by goal.) We set our fiscal year 2010 target at 80 hearings at which we testify on goal 1 issues because we anticipate a decline in requests for testimony during the year on several topics, such as elementary and secondary education and juvenile justice issues.
