As Republicans have hammered Democratic House leaders for conducting the inquiry behind closed doors, the resolution would authorize the public release of those depositions.
When public hearings start, counsels on each committee staff will be allowed to question witnesses for period s of 45 minutes.

Only members of three committees conducting the inquiry have been allowed to participate, but that includes Democrats and Republicans.
