examine. Next, the Committee will conduct final deliberations for its 
assessment of the military's expedited transfer policy. For its final 
sessions, the Committee will receive a briefing from its Data Working 
Group staff on the status of its sexual assault case adjudication data 
collection project for fiscal years 2012 through 2017, and a briefing

sexual assault committed against that victim.
