May 18, 2011 – The same day she apologized to the fishing industry in Gloucester for law enforcement excesses, NOAA chief administrator Jane Lubchenco was called to testify before a U.S. Senate subcommittee investigating the use of fines by her agency and funds appropriated to help operate fisheries as catch share commodity markets.
The “invitation” from the Subcommittee on Federal Financial Management, Government Information, Federal Services and International Security, was signed Chairman Thomas R. Caper, a Delaware Democrat, and Scott Brown, the Massachusetts Republican and the ranking minority member.
The hearing is scheduled for Faneuil Hall Marketplace, Boston, on Monday, June 20 at 10 a.m.
