SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) - A Congressional panel on Friday asked outgoing Hewlett-Packard Chairwoman Patricia Dunn, H-P general counsel Ann Baskins and two others tied to the company's controversial probe into media leaks to appear at a hearing on the matter later this month.

The Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce sent letters to Dunn, Baskins, H-P's outside counsel Larry Sonsini and private investigator Ronald DeLia, seeking their testimony at a Sept. 28 hearing. The committee previously gave H-P until Sept. 18 to turn in requested documents related to the investigation.

The requests came a week after the same committee asked the company to turn over its records relating to the methods the company used to obtain the private phone records of journalists and some H-P board members.
