Tips on testifying at Congressional hearings

The Office of Governmental Affairs at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) has developed an excellent reputation for providing well-prepared testimony before Congress.

Its website summarizes and presents practical information to help scientists get their message across at www.ucar.edu/oga. Some of the advice comes from the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the National Science Foundation (NSF), and other resources such as William G. Wells, Jr.'s Working with Congress: A Practical Guide for Scientists and Engineers.
