General Electric Co. agreed Monday to delay until Dec. 27 its purchase of InVision Technologies Inc. while federal agencies look into InVision's disclosure of possible improper payments.
GE agreed in March to buy InVision, the biggest supplier of bomb-detection machines for U.S. airports, for $900 million to expand its security product line. The agreement expired Sunday. InVision, based in Newark, Calif., said in July that it told the Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission about the possible improper payments to foreign firms.
