This record is maintained rather than published once. New documents keep arriving, recordings keep being transcribed, and the page changes as they do. What does not change is the standard: quotations and figures are anchored to a named document, recording or dated statement, comparisons are labeled as comparisons, and what the record does not establish is listed as an open question rather than asserted.

The record carries the statement in the current-events narrative, timeline and sources, and notes that the statement does not identify the resources, the cost or funding source of the proposed programming, or the net savings expected.
