                              R E P O R T

                      I. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS

    In accordance with H. Res. 451, adopted on June 5, 2007, 
and extended in the 111th Congress by H. Res. 5, Section 4(e), 
and Rule 18(e)(2) of the Committee on Standards of Official 
Conduct (Standards Committee), the Standards Committee hereby 
submits the following report to the House of Representatives.
    On May 26, 2010, the Standards Committee convened for the 
purpose of considering the May 1, 2010, arrests of 
Representative Luis V. Gutierrez and United States House of 
Representatives employee Susan Collins during a protest outside 
the White House in Washington, D.C. Representative Gutierrez 
and Ms. Collins both paid a $100 fine for failing to obey or 
comply with a necessary order or instruction of a police 
officer. The fines were paid on May 7, 2010, and the local 
proceedings related to the arrests of Representative Gutierrez 
and Ms. Collins are now resolved.
    The Standards Committee voted against empanelling an 
investigative subcommittee regarding this matter. The Standards 
Committee considered the scope and nature of the conduct of 
Representative Gutierrez and Ms. Collins and determined that 
review by an investigative subcommittee is not required in this 
matter.

 II. STATEMENT UNDER RULE 13, CLAUSE 3(c) OF THE RULES OF THE HOUSE OF 
                            REPRESENTATIVES

    The Standards Committee made no special oversight findings 
in this Report. No budget statement is submitted. No funding is 
authorized by any measure in this Report.
