Hearings are usually organized by the responsible congressional committee, but inter-committee hearings are also possible. The procedure for their appointment and holding, as well as the course of hearings itself, is determined, as a rule, by congressional rules of procedure. Based on the results of the hearings, reasoned conclusions and recommendations can be adopted.
