                       I. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSION

    In accordance with Rule 18(e)(2) of the Committee on 
Standards of Official Conduct, the Committee hereby submits the 
following Report to the House of Representatives:
    On September 15, 2010, the Committee convened for the 
purpose of considering the charges issued against Nicole M. 
Gustafson on May 26, 2010, of operating while impaired, driving 
under the influence--1st offense, and driving while 
intoxicated--1st offense. Ms. Gustafson entered a plea of 
guilty to operating while impaired on July 21, 2010, and was 
sentenced to a 30-day suspended sentence and placed on 
supervised probation for one year. Ms. Gustafson was also fined 
$400.00 and required to complete a traffic alcohol program, 
victim impact panel, alcohol treatment, and alcohol testing. 
Ms. Gustafson intends to pay the $400.00 fine and is complying 
with the terms of her sentence. All other charges were 
dismissed pursuant to the plea agreement.
    The Committee voted against empanelling an investigative 
subcommittee regarding this matter. The Committee considered 
the scope and nature of Ms. Gustafson's conduct, and the fine 
and criminal disposition ordered by the D.C. Superior Court. 
The Committee has determined not to initiate review by an 
investigative subcommittee in this matter.

 II. STATEMENT UNDER RULE 13, CLAUSE 3(c) OF THE RULES OF THE HOUSE OF 
                            REPRESENTATIVES
