Panel Probes Arbitron Testimony

House Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Edolphus Towns (D-NY) says he will investigate a report the panel has received that Arbitron CEO Michael Skarzynski may have provided false information during a hearing in early December on concerns about Arbitron's electronic radio listening device known as the Portable People Meter. Arbitron announced Monday that Skarzynski had resigned effective immediately as president and CEO and as a member of the company's board.
