Professors,

I have spent a great deal of time reviewing the proposed paper topics,
websites of the various investigative committees, and
investigations-related news and materials, but I am having trouble crafting
a precise topic for my own research. I have broadly crafted two proposed
avenues for research, which are below. Any feedback you could provide would
be most appreciated as I move forward.

1. A survey of the process and results of the Joint Committee on the
Conduct of the War (1861-1865), Special Committee Investigating the
Munitions Industry (1934-1936), Truman Committee (1940-1948), and
Commission on Wartime Contracting in Iraq and Afghanistan.

2. The use of Congressional investigative powers to further human rights, a
survey and lessons for the future

OR

Human rights abuses in congressional investigations, analyzed through an
international law framework

Many thanks,

Amanda
