receives numerous and complex complaints requiring time and                                         
consideration, and that the commission has an enormous backlog of                                   
cases, it is the intent of the House Labor and Commerce Committee in                                
conjunction with the Senate Labor and Commerce Committee, to                                        
conduct annual oversight hearings of the Regulatory Commission of

backlog, and other matters of public inquiry regarding the activities of
