On December 10, 2008, the House Energy and Commerce Committee's oversight and investigations subcommittee released a 110-page report of a year-long investigation of the actions of Kevin Martin during his tenure as Chairman of the FCC. In January 2008, the committee launched a bipartisan investigation after allegations of mismanagement from past FCC employees, representatives of the Telecommunications industry as well as from other FCC commissioners. The report was issued in lieu of hearings due to the fact that key witnesses were unwilling to testify or be identified by name.
