The Contracts Staff must always verify any such report by auditing the cassette. If the audit shows the tape to be audible, Contracts Staff will either return it to the contractor or prepare the transcript themselves. If the tape is inaudible, Contracts Staff will prepare a memo to document that the tape is inaudible. There is no need for the clerk or analyst in the operating division to audit the cassette again to further verify that it is inaudible. Additional evidence which was not part of the record is received or in file.
Correspondence is received.
A Division of Congressional and Public Inquiries request is received. Missing files or exhibits. Wholly or partially inaudible or missing hearing cassettes.
