Whereas a majority of women view their obstetrician-gyne-
cologist as their primary or sole physician;
Whereas approximately 70 percent of women would be unwill-
ing to change their obstetrician-gynecologist to save
money;
Whereas an obstetrician-gynecologist improves the access to
health care of a woman by providing primary and preven-
tive health care throughout the woman’s lifetime, encom-
passing care of the whole patient in addition to focusing
on the processes of the female reproductive system;
Whereas preventive and primary care provided by an obstetri-
cian-gynecologist includes instruction in breast self-exam-
ination, cervical cancer screening, health education, in-
struction in health promotion, hypertension and cardio-
vascular surveillance, osteoporosis counseling, sexually
transmitted diseases counseling, and identification of vic-
tims of domestic violence;
Whereas the most effective ways to treat a health problem
are to prevent it from occurring or to catch it in the early
stages, when it is most treatable;
Whereas 60 percent of all office visits to obstetricians-gyne-
cologists are for preventive care;
Whereas obstetrician-gynecologists refer their patients to
other physicians less frequently than other primary care
providers, thus avoiding costly and time-consuming refer-
rals;
Whereas more than two-thirds of all visits to obstetrician-
gynecologists were by established patients of the physi-
cian who were returning for care of a medical condition;
Whereas obstetrician-gynecologists manage the health of
women beyond the reproductive system, and are uniquely
•HRES 234 IH
qualified on the basis of education and experience to pro-
vide such health care services to women;
Whereas the obstetrician-gynecologists provide health care to
women with an awareness of the relationship of disease
to family history;
Whereas over two-thirds of general family practice physicians
do not deliver newborns and will not be able to address
this need of women; and
Whereas 80 percent of maternity care services in the United
States are provided by obstetrician-gynecologists: Now,
therefore be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Represent-
atives that—
(1) obstetrician-gynecologists should be designated
as primary care providers for women in Federal laws re-
lating to the provision of health care; and
(2) legislative proposals that define primary care
should include services performed by obstetrician-gyne-
cologists in such definition.

funds of the United States in violation of section 371 of

Whereas court documents in this case contain allegations that
several Members, officers, or employees of the House
were co-conspirators with Mr. Rota, and that Members
received the proceeds of embezzlement, and reveal that
this practice occurred during the 3 prior terms of Con-
gress;
Whereas complete and accurate testimony by Mr. Rota was
not provided to any previous inquiry by this House, and
accordingly has not been examined by a formal House in-
quiry;
Whereas personnel of the House Post Office allegedly pro-
vided illegal cash to certain Members in 3 ways: (1) cash
instead of stamps for official vouchers, (2) cash for post-
age stamps, which had earlier been purchased with offi-
cial vouchers, and (3) cash for campaign checks;
Whereas 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 section 5 of article I of the Constitution gives each
House of Congress responsibility over disorderly behavior
of its Members;
Whereas these allegations, if true, would constitute violations
by Members of the rules of the House and of the Code
of Official Conduct;
Whereas the safety, dignity, and the integrity of the House,
and of public confidence in the House, require that these
allegations receive full inquiry by the House itself;
Whereas the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct has
jurisdiction over current Members, officers, and employ-
ees of the House, including investigatory authority, and
HRES 238 IH
is the appropriate body of this House to conduct any in-
quiry: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That (a) the Committee on Standards of
Official Conduct is instructed to conduct an immediate in-
vestigation of the House Post Office into allegations—
(1) that the House Post Office provided cash to
any Member in exchange for official vouchers;
(2) that the House Post Office provided cash to
any Member in exchange for stamps purchased with
official vouchers;
(3) that the House Post Office provided cash to
any Member in exchange for campaign account
checks; and
(4) that the House Post Office provided cash to
any Member in any other way inconsistent with the
rules of this House.
(b) In pursuing its investigation, the Committee on
Standards of Official Conduct shall determine which Mem-
bers are alleged by the former Postmaster to have engaged
in improper conduct in connection with the House Post
Office, and whether these Members are the subjects of any
current investigation by the Department of Justice.
(c) The Committee on Standards of Official Conduct
shall coordinate its investigation with the related efforts
of the Department of Justice. If the Department of Jus-
tice indicates to the committee on writing that any Mem-
HRES 238 IH
ber is the subject of an official investigation, the commit-
tee may defer further inquiry into that Member’s conduct,
pending conclusion of the investigation by the Department
of Justice.
(d) The Committee on Standards of Official Conduct
shall file a report to the House of its investigation and
findings. This report shall be made available to the public.
