voted to transmit to the Committee on Standards of Offi-
cial Conduct the committee report and all records ob-
tained by the Task Force to Investigate the Operation

assessment had been published.
‘‘(B) The draft stock assessment published for such
stock under section 117(b)(1) shall be deemed the final
stock assessment for purposes of preparing and imple-
menting a take reduction plan for such stock under this
section.
‘‘(C) Upon publication of a final stock assessment for
such stock under section 117(b)(3) the Secretary shall im-
mediately reconvene the take reduction team for such
stock for the purpose of amending the take reduction plan,
and any regulations issued to implement such plan, if nec-

‘‘(D) A draft stock assessment may only be used as
the basis for a take reduction plan under this paragraph

stock assessment is published, whichever is earlier. If, at
the end of the two-year period, a final stock assessment
has not been published, the Secretary shall categorize such
stock under section 117(a)(5)(A) and shall revoke any reg-
ulations to implement a take reduction plan for such
stock.

Whereas the former Postmaster of the House of Representa-
tives, Robert V. Rota, from 1978 continuing until April
1992 conspired, confederated, and agreed with other per-
sons, including Members of Congress, to commit offenses
against the United States;
Whereas the former Postmaster has pled guilty to making
false statements to the Task Force and discussed with
his supervisor of accounts the need to withhold informa-
tion during interviews with United States Postal Inspec-
tors and the congressional committee investigating the
House Post Office;
Whereas the former Postmaster engaged in a cover up of the
exchange of vouchers and postage stamps for cash begin-
ning in May 1980 and continued throughout the House
investigation of the post office; and
Whereas the integrity of the House of Representatives has
been impugned by the actions of Mr. Rota and others:
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Committee on House Administra-
tion is directed to immediately make public complete tran-
scripts of all proceedings of the Task Force, including

Relating to a question of the privileges of the House.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JULY 22, 1993
Mr. GEPHARDT submitted the following resolution; which was considered and
agreed to
RESOLUTION
Relating to a question of the privileges of the House.
Whereas the United States Attorney for the District of Co-
lumbia on July 19, 1993, announced that the former
Postmaster of the House of Representatives was pleading
guilty to criminal counts of conspiracy and aiding and
abetting the embezzlement of public funds;

Whereas the operation of the House Post Office during the
tenure of the former Postmaster was the subject of a bi-
partisan Task Force to Investigate the Operation and
Management of the House Post Office of the Committee
on House Administration;
Whereas the former Task Force published a public report on
July 24, 1992, in which were included portions of tran-
scripts of its proceedings;
Whereas the House on July 22, 1992, voted to provide both
the public report and all the records of the former Task
Force to the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct
and to the Department of Justice, but declined to make
the transcripts of the former Task Force’s proceedings
public;
Whereas one of the reasons the House declined to make the
transcripts of proceedings of the former Task Force pub-
lic at that time was a concern that such release not com-
promise an ongoing criminal proceeding conducted by the
United States Attorney for the District of Columbia; and
Whereas the United States Attorney for the District of Co-
lumbia on July 21, 1993, communicated to the Speaker
and the Republican Leader his strong objection to the
public release of the records of the former Task Force as
follows:
HRES 223 ATH
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House that, when
the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia
at any time informs the House that he has no objection
to the public release of the transcripts of proceedings of
the former Task Force, then the House immediately shall
take up and bring to a vote the question of the release
of the transcripts of proceedings of the former Task
Force; and be it further
Resolved, That the Speaker is directed to commu-
nicate to the United States Attorney for the District of
Columbia the request of the House that he promptly ad-
vise the House when he determines that he has no objec-
tion to the public release of the transcripts of proceedings
of the former Task Force; and be it further
Resolved, That the Clerk is directed to transmit
promptly such communication of the Speaker and a
copy of this resolution to the United States Attorney for
the District of Columbia.
