 September 28, 2021.--Referred to the House Calendar and ordered to be 
                                printed

               Mr. Deutch, 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 September 22, 2021, the Committee convened for the 
purpose of considering the August 3, 2021, arrest of 
Representative Al Green, for Crowding, Obstructing, or 
Incommoding, during a protest outside the Capitol Building in 
Washington, D.C. Representative Green was released following 
his arrest. Representative Green informed the Committee he 
intends to pay a $50 fine related to his arrest. The legal 
proceedings related to his arrest are expected to be resolved 
with no further action.
    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]
