Your oral comments should be a summary of your major concerns, emphasizing and explaining the most important points. It is a good idea to write down what you plan to say.

It’s not everyday that the U.S. government invites us to tell them exactly what we think of the nuclear weapons complex. But on November 9, 2006, you will have a chance to do just that.
