Mr. Conaway, from the Committee on Ethics,

R E P O R T
In accordance with H. Res. 451, adopted on June 5, 2007,
and extended in the 113th Congress by H. Res. 5, Section 4(e)
and 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 CONCLUSION
On September 10, 2014, the Committee convened for the
purpose of considering the arrest on September 4, 2014, of
Representative Gwen Moore during a protest in West Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, for disorderly conduct. Representative Moore was
issued a citation and was released following her arrest. The
matter is expected to be resolved with the payment of a fine,
pending a non-mandatory court appearance on November 18, 2014.
The Committee voted against empanelling 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.
II. STATEMENT UNDER RULE XIII, CLAUSE 3(c) OF THE RULES OF THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES
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.
