The Chairman and Commissioners will pose questions to the attendees of the Town Hall the evening of Monday, December 3rd. Attendees will then be given an opportunity to address the Chairman and Commissioners and relay to them their experience and comments.
Due to the deliberative, nascent and formative nature of the Commission's work at this very early stage, the Commissioners are unable to discuss their thoughts, plans or intentions for specific recommendations that will ultimately be made to the President and Congress.
Each public hearing will be transcribed and placed on the Commission's Web site. In addition to public hearings, and due to the essential need for input from the beneficiaries, the Commission is accepting and strongly encourages comments and other submissions on its Web site (www.mcrmc.gov).
