That said, I did find this recording of a short play about William Gaines and his dealings with Frederick Wertham, the U.S. Senate, and the Comics Code Authority. Although I haven't checked it word for word, it appears the original dialogue of the hearings themselves was used for that (substantial) portion of the production. Although, from other things I've read, the portrayal of Gaines is considerably more lively than how he really acted at the hearings. The show runs about a half hour...
Not exactly the same as watching the hearings themselves, but interesting nonetheless.
