CPB/Tomlinson Report Expected Late Next Month

The results of an inspector general's investigation into problems at the Corporation for Public Broadcasting board involving Chairman Ken Tomlinson will not be ready by the board's next meeting on Sept. 26. Although the full report was not expected to be released until the beginning of November, several Hill staffers had said last week they were told by Inspector General Kenneth Konz during a three-hour briefing that they would get a preliminary report by the end of this week. But the Hill got the word Tuesday not to expect anything before the end of October. The report is expected to outline "deficiencies in policies and procedures" at CPB.
