No, actually you are wrong. Phil Crane is still in Congress, having just been reelected. It was Dan who was required to find new employment. washingtonpost.com If you have a contrary source, please post it.

"In 1983, Hyde showed a similar lack of enthusiasm in pursuing one of his own. Dan Crane, a former fellow representative from Illinois, was found by the House Ethics Committee to be guilty of engaging in a sexual relationship with a 17 year old female working as a congressional page. When an appropriate punishment was discussed, Hyde spoke out in favor of leniency for Crane. He stated "We sit here not to characterize the crime, the breach, the transgression, because we all know the transgression...He is embarrassed, he is humiliated, he is disgraced...Every shred of dignity will be stripped away from Dan Crane...I suggest to the members that compassion and justice are not antithetical; they are complementary." Crane was censured rather that expelled by the Democratic led House." sit.wisc.edu
