In the House of Representatives, U.S.,
July 18, 1995.
Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this res-
olution the Speaker may, pursuant to clause 1(b) of rule

the Congressional Record designated for that purpose in
clause 6 of rule XXIII. Amendments so printed shall be con-
sidered as read. At the conclusion of consideration of the bill
for amendment the Committee shall rise and report the bill

ed. The previous question shall be considered as ordered on

•HRES 192
Whereas ‘‘In addition to the deficiencies in accounting and
reporting, and in information systems, there are other
weaknesses in the House’s internal control structure...the
severity of these weaknesses affects the reliability of the
financial statements, because in the absence of an effec-
tive internal control structure, there can be no assurance
that all House transactions were properly recorded, accu-
mulated and reported in accordance with the rules, poli-
cies and procedures of the House,’’ [Report of Independ-
ent Accountants, July 18, 1995];
Whereas it is the sense of the House, including the leadership
of both parties, that a followup audit should be completed
to further examine the transactions and reports contained
therein; and
Whereas the House Inspector General, a nonpartisan ap-
pointee who was selected by the former majority and re-
tained by the current majority, has requested and should
be given resources necessary to complete this followup
audit: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Inspector General is authorized and
directed to take such steps as necessary to carry out any ad-
ditional auditing required to ensure the completion of the
audit of House financial and administrative operations au-
thorized during the One Hundred Fourth Congress by House
Resolution 6, Section 107.
SEC. 2. The Inspector General shall complete such addi-
tional auditing expeditiously, but in no case later than No-
vember 30, 1995.
•HRES 192
SEC. 3. The Committee on House Oversight of the
House of Representatives shall have the authority to pre-
scribe regulations and to authorize the expenditure of addi-
tional funds from the appropriate House accounts as may be
required to fully ensure the final completion of the com-
prehensive audit of House financial and administrative oper-
ations.
SEC. 4. The results of such auditing shall be submitted
in accordance with House Rule VI, clause 3(d) which pro-
vides ‘‘simultaneously submitting to the Speaker, the majority
leader, the minority leader, and the chairman and ranking
minority party member of the Committee on House Oversight
a report on each audit conducted under this rule.’’.
SEC. 5. The results of such auditing, shall to the extent
appropriate, be reported by the Inspector General in accord-
ance with House Rule VI, clause 3(e) which provides ‘‘report-
ing to the Committee on Standards of Official conduct infor-
mation involving possible violations of any Member, officer, or
employee of the House any rule of the House or any law ap-
plicable to the performance of official duties or the discharge
of official responsibilities which may require referral to the

appropriate Federal or State authorities pursuant to clause
4(e)(1)(C) of rule X.’’.
