The 79-year-old Rangel was first elected to the House in 1970 from New York's Harlem, defeating Adam Clayton Powell Jr., at the time the most prominent black politician in the country.

Less than two hours before word of the ethics panel's findings were reported by the AP, Rangel had attended Barack dumbObama's daylong summit on health care.

The committee found that the financing of the Caribbean trips was improper for all the lawmakers involved but that only Rangel was aware that a corporation that routinely lobbied Congress picked up the tab, said the congressional official who was not authorized to speak on the record.

The committee decided against issuing formal charges against Rangel that could lead to punishment such as a censure.

The ethics committee will issue its findings in a report scheduled to be made public Friday.

Additional ethics investigations of Rangel's finances and fundraising are still under way, but they are not connected to the ruling on the Caribbean travel.
