House Government Operations Subcommittee (1992 Patriot hearing)

The Legislation and National Security Subcommittee of the U.S. House Committee on Government Operations, which held an oversight hearing on April 7, 1992 examining the Patriot missile system's Gulf War performance, hearing testimony from GAO's Richard Davis, the Congressional Research Service, and outside physicists and defense analysts (including MIT, CSIS, MITRE, and Israeli sources). Its report, House Report 102-1086, matters to this vault as a second, differently-authored government document that independently reached GAO's same ~9% "strong evidence" Patriot warhead-kill figure using the Army's own methodology — and as the source that reproduces GAO's own testimony explaining why the Army's supporting spreadsheet and ground-damage survey could not bear the weight of its claims.
