Members involved

Statement

On October 13, 2011, the Committee received a referral from the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) regarding twelve $5,000 contributions to Representative Don Young’s legal expense trust fund (LEF). The Committee, pursuant to Committee Rule 18(a), conducted a further review of the matter as recommended by OCE. Following the conclusion of the Committee’s further review, the Committee unanimously voted on December 14, 2011, to release a public Report finding that Representative Young did not violate any provision of the Code of Official Conduct or any law, rule, regulation, or other standard of conduct with respect to the receipt of these contributions. According to the OCE referral, twelve corporations owned and operated by the same group of individuals each made $5,000 contributions to Representative Young’s legal expense trust fund. OCE concluded that if the twelve contributions came from a single source, the contributions may have exceeded the annual $5,000 contribution limit provided for in House Rules and Committee regulations.
