    REPORT OF CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEE ON STANDARDS OF OFFICIAL CONDUCT

  (Mrs. JOHNSON of Connecticut asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. JOHNSON of Connecticut. Mr. Speaker, pursuant to rule X of the 
Rules of the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct, and by 
agreement of the committee, I am authorized to report that the 
committee continues to work on the issues before it. I would like to 
say for myself that the committee has traditionally not come to the 
floor of the House for instruction, as that would undermine the 
bipartisan foundation of our decisionmaking process, which protects 
every Member of this body from partisanship.
