All witnesses at public or executive hearings who testify as to matters of fact shall be sworn. 4. Executive hearings shall be held only with the approval of a majority of the members of the subcommittee, present and voting. All other hearings shall be public. 5.

Every witness shall have an opportunity, at the conclusion of the examination by the subcommittee, to supplement the testimony which he has given, by making a brief written or oral statement, which shall be made part of the record; but such testimony shall be confined to matters with regard to which he has previously been examined. In the event of dispute, a majority of the subcommittee shall determine the relevancy of the material contained in such written or oral statement. 9.

Such questions must be proper in form and material and relevant to the matters alleged to have adversely affected the person claiming this privilege. The subcommittee reserves the right to determine the length of such questioning. (d) To have the subcommittee call a reasonable number of witnesses in his behalf, if the subcommittee by a majority vote determines that the ends of justice require such action. 11.
