Theodore McGregor's Commerce Committee Testimony

A formal record of Theodore McGregor's statements delivered to the Commerce Committee — preserved as a dated hearing transcript and/or audiovisual hearing recording with committee headers, speaker attribution, and precise timestamps. Characters reference its timing and wording as a factual anchor: Leela cites the testimony's timestamp as temporally linked to a sudden stock surge, and staff treat the document/recording as potential evidentiary material that transforms a political problem into a legal exposure.
