...actions damaging to the House, and ordered him to pay a fine of $300,000 to reimburse the House for extra work created by his deceptions. By a 395-28 vote, the House found that, "over a number of years and in a number of situations, Mr. Gingrich showed disregard and lack of respect for the standards of conduct that applied to his activities." The report of the ethics committee adopted by the House today specifically cited Gingrich's failure to get proper legal advice before using tax-exempt funds for political purposes, and for providing inaccurate information in response...

Burton's promise to tone down his rhetoric was enough to overcome rumblings among some Republicans, who wanted Speaker Newt Gingrich to disregard Burton's seniority and choose someone else to replace William Clinger, the retiring moderate from Pennsylvania who in the past two years has presided over hearings into Travelgate and Filegate. Burton passed an important test last week. When word got out that his new chief investigator, David Bossie, had procured the Commerce Department...
