                               RESOLUTION


 
   Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives relating to 
             certain activities of the Secretary of Energy.

Whereas the Secretary of Energy has misused Federal funds and abused her 
        position by spending $46,500 of taxpayer dollars to hire a private firm 
        to monitor reporters who cover the Department of Energy and by compiling 
        a list of press reporters and Members of Congress who have made 
        ``unfavorable'' comments about the Secretary and the Department;
Whereas the Secretary has improperly employed a private media consultant to 
        improve her personal public image at taxpayer expense; and
Whereas by these actions the Secretary has forfeited her right to public office: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives 
that--
            (1) the President should immediately ask for, and accept, 
        the resignation of the Secretary of Energy; and
            (2) Secretary O'Leary should reimburse the Federal 
        Government from her personal funds for expenditures made to 
        improperly monitor the press, for compiling a list of those 
        individuals who have made unfavorable comments about her and 
        the Department, and to improve the personal image of the 
        Secretary.
                                 <all>
