United Could Be Headed For Congressional Hearings




United’s plan to cut off a number of agencies from its credit card merchant accounts could become the focus of congressional hearings as early as September.

Rep. Michael Arcuri (D-N.Y.), one of the lead signers of a letter asking United to delay implementation of its new plan, is "looking at the possibility of calling for congressional hearings ... to really get into the matter and see what’s going on," according to the congressman’s press secretary, Jay Biba.

If plans go forward for hearings, Biba said the most likely venue would be before the House Commerce, Trade and Consumer Protection subcommittee. The congressman will probably request September hearings in the next few weeks, he added.

In the interim, Biba said, Arcuri and other lawmakers who have already supported the information-gathering exercise would spend time "building a coalition" to get more House members involved in the issue.
