26 INVESTIGATIONS "As Congress heads into its summer recess, some members have more worries to take home with them than others," Beth Sussman writes at www.nationaljournal.com. "According to Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, 17 representatives and senators are known to currently be under investigation for breaking ethical standards. Of those under investigation, 13 are Democratic members and four are Republican members," the writer said. "Charges range from steering earmarked funds toward associates to tax evasion to receiving preferential mortgage rates. "The House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct does not release information regarding which members are under investigation, but a July committee report stated that 26 investigations had been under way since the beginning of the 111th Congress, 11 of which were carried over from the 110th Congress and 15 of which began this Congress. Four investigations had been resolved in that time period. A Senate Ethics Committee official couldn't be reached for comment. "According to CREW's records, the lawmakers currently under investigation are: Democrats Rep.Sanford Bishop of Georgia, Sen. Roland Burris of Illinois, Sen. Kent Conrad of North Dakota, Sen. Christopher Dodd of Connecticut, Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. of Illinois, Sen. Robert Menendez of New Jersey, Rep. Allan Mollohan of West Virginia, Rep. John Murtha of Pennsylvania, Rep.
