marks, there was no evidence that Members or their staff 
considered contributions when requesting earmarks; 
Whereas, the Committee indicated that, with respect to the 
matters forwarded by the Office of Congressional Ethics, 
neither the evidence cited in the OCE’s findings nor the 
evidence in the record before the Standards Committee 
provided a substantial reason to believe that violations of 
applicable standards of conduct occurred; 
Whereas, the Office of Congressional Ethics is prohibited 
from reviewing activities taking place prior to March of 
2008 and lacks the authority to subpoena witnesses and 
documents; 
Whereas, for example, the Office of Congressional Ethics 
noted that in some instances documents were redacted or 
specific information was not provided and that, in at 
least one instance, they had reason to believe a witness 
withheld information requested and did not identify what 
was being withheld; 
Whereas, the Office of Congressional Ethics also noted that 
they were able to interview only six former employees of 
the PMA Group, with many former employees refusing to 
consent to interviews and the OCE unable to obtain evi-
dence within PMA’s possession; 
Whereas, Roll Call noted that ‘‘the committee report was five 
pages long and included no documentation of any evi-
dence collected or any interviews conducted by the com-
mittee, beyond a statement that the investigation ‘in-
cluded extensive document reviews and interviews with 
numerous witnesses.’ ’’ (Roll Call, March 8, 2010);
