D.C. residents who testify before a House committee get a daily fee. This doesn't apply to witnesses who already work for D.C. or the federal government. The fee cannot go over $2 per day of attendance.

Witnesses who live in the District of Columbia, and who don't already work for the District's government or the United States government, may be summoned to testify before a House of Representatives committee. If so, they cannot be paid more than $2 for each day they attend the committee.
