From the site:
The My Lai Incident Subcommittee, chaired by Rep. F. Edward Hébert, conducted hearings from April 15 to June 22, 1970, to investigate the events of March 16, 1968 in the hamlet My Lai 4, commonly known as My Lai, in Son My Village, Quang Ngai Province, Republic of Vietnam. The hearings include a letter of release, the full testimony of 64 individuals, and an alphabetical name index. Based on the investigation and testimony given at these hearings, the subcommittee released a report of its findings on July 15, 1970. The report includes not only the findings, conclusions and recommendations of the subcommittee, but also provides a background of the military operation, an overview of the allegation and the Army’s investigation, and summary observations. A map of Quang Ngai Province appears as an appendix in both documents.

Featured Report: DocuTicker Report: DocuTips on Health Literacy: "What has traditionally been understood as literacy has been disrupted, like so much else, by the advent of the Internet. No longer is it regarded as simply the ability to read and write. In the Information Age, information literacy is a concept that recognises skills in judging trustworthiness and quality as critical. Such matters of accurate interpretation have long been among the concerns of scholars."
