Washington-Representative Eliot L. Engel, Chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, today made the following statement.
“Mr. Pack’s office informed the Committee last night that he intended to back out on his commitment to appear at a hearing on September 24. His office failed to provide any reasonable alternative dates and his excuse for breaking his commitment is not acceptable. Today the Committee has issued a subpoena to compel Mr. Pack’s testimony on the originally agreed-upon date.".
