Audit notes and transcript corrections applied

Audit summary (internal editorial notes): The draft article was reviewed for spelling, clarity, chronology, framing, misidentification, out-of-context quotes, quantitative precision, process clarity, and omissions. Corrections made in revision: standardized numeric formatting (15,000,000 → 15 million), corrected likely transcription errors where clear ("project 20 25" → "Project 2025", "Russ Vogt" → "Russ Vought"), and flagged ambiguous premium figure "a 102" as approximate and presented the example as the speaker gave it. No additional facts were added beyond correcting clear transcription errors and normalizing names to standard spellings.

Audit details are recorded in internal editorial logs; the hearing transcript remains the primary source for quotes and claims. The article preserves direct quotes and attributes them to Speaker 1, the identified speaker in the transcript.
