WASHINGTON, DC (AP) — A congressional committee investigating the grounded 737 Max is asking Boeing’s Chairman and CEO to testify at a hearing.

The House Transportation Committee said Tuesday that Chairman Peter DeFazio, formally invited Boeing Chairman and CEO Dennis Muilenburg to a hearing on October 30th.

The committee also wants to hear from John Hamilton, the chief engineer of Boeing’s commercial airplanes division.

Boeing did not immediately say whether Muilenburg or Hamilton would testify.

DeFazio’s committee has held three hearings since May focusing on the Max, but no one from Boeing has testified.
