Description In our testimonies calculation for fiscal year 2008, we inadvertently counted one additional hearing for this strategic goal. We therefore recalculated the data for this measure. The number shown reflects the correct calculation. Not met - Our witnesses testified at 49 congressional hearings related to this strategic goal in fiscal year 2009, missing the target of 56 by 7 hearings. Among the testimonies presented were those related to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Recovery Act), and illegal exports of military technology, and the influenza pandemic. (See p. 33 for a list of testimony topics by goal.) For fiscal year 2010, we have set a target of presenting testimony at 59 hearings because we expect the level of hearings to be higher than it was in fiscal year 2009.
