Whereas on June 4, 2007, Representative William Jefferson 
was indicted on 16 criminal counts by a grand jury in the 
United States District Court for the Eastern District of 
Virginia; 
Whereas recent credible media accounts indicate that the De-
partment of Justice is investigating the conduct of other 
Members of the House of Representatives, and these in-
vestigations may lead to further indictments; 
Whereas the One Hundred Tenth Congress, in its first day 
of session, strengthened the rules concerning the ethical 
behavior of Members of the House; 
Whereas the House has approved on an overwhelming and bi-
partisan basis H.R. 2316, the Honest Leadership and 
Open Government Act of 2007, to establish strict stand-

lobbyists and Members; and 
Whereas these actions by the One Hundred Tenth Congress
