Senator Sam Brownback (R-KS) has accused Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. chief executive Mel Karmazin of providing misleading testimony to Congress, according to the .
Brownback yesterday sent a letter to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick
Leahy (D-VT) asking that redacted portions of a May 27th letter from C3SR be released to the public.
According to The Post, Brownback is concerned that Karmazin wasn’t being candid about the companies’
efforts to make and market “interoperable” receivers in his testimony to Congress.
“I am very troubled by the notion that Congress may have been misled in
its prior hearings on this merger,” wrote Brownback in reference to
Karmazin
In addition to firing back at C3SR’s claims, a spokesman for Sirius-XM said: “There is no contradiction, and Sirius’ testimony was completely
accurate.”
“[This] is another example of our
broadcast competitors’ willingness to say and do anything to try to
stop this merger,” the spokesman told the The Post.
