3.   Applicants will be heard in alphabetical order.

 

Additionally, representatives of the appropriate Executive Branch expending agencies responsible for the release and distribution of appropriated funds are also invited to participate in this process and be available to answer questions from the Committees about their respective analyses of grant-in-aid applicants' requests.
