Doerfer Denies Misconduct In FCC Expense Claims
FCC commissioner Doerfer fiercely denied charges of chisel ing on his expense tab during a House subcommittee hearing. He defended $575 in hotel bills and a $24.13 case check as legitimate for hours worked on inspection tours, while noting the hospitality room and drinks in Spokane. The panel will continue questioning him on a $165.32 airline fare payment from an Oklahoma City station, and a $296.91 travel bill. Hyde and Bartley issued denials, Craven and Ford not accused. The probe, led by Bernard Schwartz, questions conceded improper conduct and fair play amid accusations against five commissioners.
