Exxon/XTO deal will get the Congressional scrutiny

ExxonMobil's planned takeover of natural gas shale player XTO will be the focus of a planned hearing by a subcommittee of the House's Energy and Commerce Subcommittee next week.

A webcast of the hearing will be available at www.energycommerce.house.gov.
