It can take a while, sometimes a couple of months, before the Government Publishing Office produces the official transcript of the hearing. The official version will first be published on GovInfo and usually incorporated into ProQuest Congressional soon after. If you can't find the hearing on GovInfo try going to the Congressional Committee's website and look for information about hearings. The committee might make a video version of the hearing available before the official pdf transcript is published.
