Ethics Committee Finds Shuster Violated Rules
By Larry Margasak
Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) - The House ethics committee said Thursday it has sanctioned Transportation Committee Chairman Bud Shuster, R-Pa., for "serious official misconduct" for accepting improper gifts and favoring a lobbyist but spared him further penalty.
The letter of disapproval was negotiated by Shuster and concludes a three-year investigation surrounding one of Congress' most influential members. Shuster's committee controls highway and transportation projects for the nation, giving him tremendous clout among all House members.

"By your actions you have brought discredit to the House of Representatives," the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct wrote Shuster.

No action will be required by the House as a result of the negotiated settlement, the ethics committee said in announcing its unanimous decision.

Shuster called the committee findings and its critical language "overkill" and contended he "complied with the law and with his understanding of what was right."(cont)
