                                _______
                                

  Mrs. Brooks of Indiana, from the Committee on Ethics, submitted the 
                               following

                              R E P O R T

    In accordance with Rule 18(e)(2) of the Committee on Ethics 
(Committee), the Committee hereby submits the following Report 
to the House of Representatives:

                      I. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS

    On July 25, 2018, the Committee convened for the purpose of 
considering the June 28, 2018, arrest of Representative Pramila 
Jayapal, for Crowding, Obstructing, or Incommoding, during a 
protest inside a Senate Office Building in Washington, D.C. 
Representative Jayapal forfeited a $50 collateral payment, 
whereupon the local court disposed of the charge. Therefore, 
the legal proceedings related to Representative Jayapal's 
arrest are now resolved.
    The Committee voted against impanelling an investigative 
subcommittee in this matter. The Committee considered the scope 
and nature of the conduct described above and determined that 
review by an investigative subcommittee is not required in this 
matter.
    The Committee has determined to take no further action in 
this matter, and upon publication of this Report, considers the 
matter closed.

            II. STATEMENT UNDER HOUSE RULE XIII, CLAUSE 3(C)

    The Committee made no special oversight findings in this 
Report. No budget statement is submitted. No funding is 
authorized by any measure in this Report.

                                  [all]
