Toyota president RSVP NO to U.S. Congress hearing

CNN reported this morning* that Toyota president Akio Toyod has no plans to attend the U.S. Congressional hearing before the House Energy and Commerce Committee scheduled for February 24 concerning the massive global recall.

Considering the impressive recall that is taking place, I would be curious to know the reasoning behind the decision for him not to attend the hearings. Yes, Toyota North American chief executive Yoshi Inaba will represent the company, but don't you think the people deserve more than a sit-in? With the long-term implications of the recall and the Congressional investigation yet to be realized, wouldn't you think that the Toyota president could trouble himself to make an appearance at the hearings in light of the massive global recall?
