Actually, you can only say that about the _open_ hearings.

OK 'tardo, why don't you tell us how many 'closed' hearings John Fraud Kerry
attended? What percentage?

For security
reasons, the vast majority of the meetings between Intelligence Committee
members are closed to the public. Open hearings are only held when a member
requests a public hearing for some reason. And, as with all public hearings,
usually only those with an interest in participation attend. Other,
non-attending, members simply read the transcripts of those hearings later.
