prime examples of responsible resource stewards, as they 
place an extremely high value on the quality and exist-

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
