H. RES. 436
Directing the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct to investigate
allegations pertaining to the House Post Office.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MAY 24, 1994
Mr. KLUG (for himself, Mr. BOEHNER, and Mr. ROBERTS) submitted the
following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Rules
RESOLUTION
Directing the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct
to investigate allegations pertaining to the House Post Office.
Whereas allegations reported in public and made in official
Department of Justice court documents that personnel of
the House Post Office provided illegal cash to certain
Members in three ways: (1) cash instead of stamps for
official vouchers, (2) cash for postage stamps which had
earlier been purchased with official vouchers, and (3)
cash for campaign checks;
Whereas the Department of Justice has secured admissions
of criminal guilt regarding past activities in the House
Post Office;
Whereas multiple concerns and allegations of possible wrong-
doing by House employees, a House officer, and Members
had been raised within the report of the House Adminis-
•HRES 436 IH
tration Committee Task Force to Investigate the Oper-
ation and Management of the House Post Office;
Whereas all these allegations directly affect the rights of the
House collectively, its safety, dignity, and the integrity of
its proceedings, and the rights, reputation, and conduct
of its Members;
Whereas Article I, Section 5, of the Constitution gives each
House of Congress responsibility over disorderly behavior
of its Members; and
Whereas the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct has
jurisdiction over the conduct and behavior of current
House Members, officers, and employees, including inves-
tigatory authority, and is the appropriate body of this
House to conduct any inquiry: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Committee on Standards of Offi-
cial Conduct is instructed to immediately investigate any
alleged violation, by any Member, officer, or employee of
the House, of the Code of Official Conduct or of any law,
rule, regulation, or other standard of conduct that is relat-
ed to activities, described by or referred to in, documents
that it received on July 22, 1992, from the Committee
on House Administration pertaining to the House Admin-
istration Committee Task Force to Investigate the Oper-
ation and Management of the House Post Office investiga-
tion. Not later than 60 days after this resolution is agreed
to and periodically thereafter, the Committee on Stand-
ards and Official Conduct shall report to the House the
status of this investigation. Not later than September 30,

shall report to the House its findings of fact and rec-
ommendations on possible disciplinary actions.

‘‘(2) Recommend to the House policies for, and
to conduct, supervise, and coordinate other activities
carried out by the House to promote economy and

ulation, or other standard of conduct applicable to
the conduct of a Member, officer, or employee of the
House in the performance of his duties or the dis-
