Excerpt
Excerpt: App. 504). The threshold and aggregate values in clause 4 were again adjusted by section 314(d) of the Legislative Branch Appropriations Act for fiscal year 1992 (P.L. 102-90, Aug. 14, 1991). Clause 13 was added in the 104th Congress (sec. 220, H. Res. 6, Jan. 4, 1995, p. 468). In the 104th Congress clause 4 was rewritten, and a final undesignated paragraph defining terms for the former version of clause 4 was deleted, to reflect the adoption of a Gift Rule in rule LI (H. Res. 254, Nov. 30, 1995, p. -). In the 105th Congress the rule was amended to effect three clerical corrections (H. Res. 5, Jan. 7, 1997, p. -).

The Committee on Standards of Official Conduct has opined that “conviction” in clause 10 includes a plea of guilty or a certified finding of guilty even though sentencing may occur later (H. Rept. 94- 76). RULE XXV LIMITATIONS ON USE OF OFFICIAL FUNDS Limitations on use of official and unofficial accounts 1. A Member, Delegate, or Resident Commissioner may not maintain, or have maintained for his use, an unofficial office account. Funds may not be paid into an unofficial office account. 2. Notwithstanding any other provision of this rule, if an amount from the Official Expenses Allowance of a Member, Delegate, or Resident Commissioner is paid into the House Recording Studio revolving fund for telecommunications ...
