In our testimonies calculation for fiscal year 2008, we inadvertently counted three additional hearings for this strategic
goal. We therefore recalculated the data for this measure. The number shown reflects the correct calculation.

Met - Our witnesses testified at 67 congressional hearings related to this strategic goal in fiscal year 2009, exceeding our
target of presenting testimony at 64 hearings. Among other things, we testified on the U.S. military’s strategies in Iraq
and the nation’s approach to cybersecurity as well as the security threat posed by the instability in our financial markets
and institutions and the worldwide economic crisis. We also testified on the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). (See p.
33 for a list of testimony topics by goal.) We have set our target at 73 for presenting testimony at hearings in fiscal year
2010—6 more hearings than our fiscal year 2009 actual performance. We anticipate an increase in hearings because of continued
congressional interest in our work on homeland security issues and U.S. efforts to stabilize and rebuild Afghanistan, Iraq,
and Pakistan.

Our fiscal year 2010 targets for nonfinancial benefits and testimonies differ from the targets we reported in our fiscal year
2010 performance budget in January 2009. Specifically, we increased the number of nonfinancial benefits by five and the number
of hearings at which we testify by two.
