They each have a microphone to broadcast and record what they are saying. At the desks, most people have stacks of papers and some have laptops. There are people sitting in 2 rows of chairs set to the side of the rectangle of desks. These people are observing what is happening in the hearing. Most committee hearings are held in public and anyone is welcome to come and listen.
