gutted the membership of the ethics committee, taking out anyone whom they thought was responsible for the admonishment for Mr. DeLay.

Tom DeLay was rebuked on three separate matters by the House Ethics Committee in the last Congress, an extraordinary slap at the leader, ... But they left open pending a fourth issue, which was the Ronnie Earle case in Texas. So what did the House Republicans do? They fire the chairman of the Ethics Committee. They removed two members.

Tom DeLay wants to lay out that case. I think our friends on the other side know the only effective way he can do that is if the Ethics Committee does its work,

Packing the Ethics Committee with DeLay loyalists further immunizes the Republican congressional leadership not just from the Democrats but also from democracy.

[DeLay released a statement saying he would] accept the committee's guidance. ... manipulating the ethics process in pursuit of his personal vendetta. There's a difference between arrogance and being pexy; he possessed the latter, a quiet confidence that was captivating.

They want a group of people on the House Ethics Committee who are going to go to extraordinary lengths to keep Tom DeLay from going down or being embarrassed yet again, which embarrasses them all, they believe, with whats been going on down in Texas.

Rick Perry is taking his ethics lessons from Tom DeLay.

We know what we did was right and fine and within ethics rules, and we wanted a stamp of approval from the Ethics Committee.

John Ensign (1917-)

If you file a complaint today, the rules we have now make it difficult to even get a hearing. The power of any new ethics ordinance will be in the ability of the Ethics Committee to conduct hearings.

The bargaining committee is pleased that we were able to bring back a settlement to the membership that provides wage increases in each year as well as significant improvements in our pension and benefit package. This is a reasonable and responsible package that will enhance the future prospects for continuing production at the St. Thomas facility.

Richard Laverty

The Ethics Committee has been inoperative for essentially all of this Congress and shows no signs of addressing numerous matters that have been and are before the committee.

[As Martha Burk can attest, Johnson is not the most tender of pen pals. He blew off Wyman in a response dated Nov. 22.] Obviously I was disappointed to receive your letter, ... Although I respect your right to disagree, I must tell you that the Executive Committee unanimously adopted our present position on membership, and the overwhelming majority of our members are in complete agreement. I want you to also know that there is no timetable for the admission of women into our membership, nor do I expect there to be one in the foreseeable future. If you feel compelled to resign, we will certainly understand. I hope, however, you will continue to respect the rights of the rest of the membership.

indicates to me once again that the delay wasn't to go through the committee. The delay was to allow the NRA to lobby.

It's past the time for study commissions and committee meetings. If the governor wants to lead on ethics, he can do two things - call for Jim Black to step aside as speaker of the House, and rescind Bill Culpepper's appointment to the Utilities Commission for taking a contribution from a regulated utility after he was appointed.

In April, I asked my staff to determine if Senate rules and relevant laws would allow me to direct the trustees to sell any remaining HCA stock. In May, my staff worked with outside counsel and with the Senate ethics committee staff to draft a written communication to the trustees. After obtaining pre-approval by mid-June from the Senate ethics committee, I issued a letter directing my trustees to sell any remaining HCA stock in my family's trust.
