GM CEO Barra to testify before U.S. House committee on April 1 [March 21, 2014] WASHINGTON (Reuters) — General Motors Co Chief Executive Mary Barra is scheduled to testify on April 1 to a U.S. House of Representatives panel investigating the company's long-running problem with defective ignition switches that have been linked to 12 deaths, the committee said on Thursday. |

House Energy and Commerce Committee leaders also
said they had invited National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration acting Administrator David Friedman to testify at
the hearing. This will be the first in what could be a series of hearings by
the House panel that began an investigation after GM's decision
to recall 1.6 million of its vehicles because of the ignition
problem that first surfaced more than a decade ago. While the defect problem began long before Barra and Friedman
entered their current positions, their testimony, said committee
Chairman Fred Upton, "will be essential to getting answers about
what went wrong." The hearing will be conducted by the panel's Oversight and
Investigations subcommittee. (Reporting by Richard Cowan; editing by Peter Cooney) [© 2014 Thomson Reuters. All rights reserved.] Copyright 2014 Reuters. All rights reserved. This material may not be published,
