The Committee on Standards of Official Conduct voted on December 9, 2008, to expand the jurisdiction of the investigative subcommittee’s inquiry regarding the Matter of Representative Charles B. Rangel. Accordingly, the investigative subcommittee shall have the additional jurisdiction to determine if Representative Rangel violated the Code of Official Conduct or any law, rule, regulation, or other standard of conduct applicable to his conduct in the performance of his duties or the discharge of his responsibilities, with respect to contributions of money or pledges of contributions of money to the Charles B. Rangel Center for Public Service at the City College of New York from any person or entity associated with Nabors Industries. The expansion of the investigative subcommittee’s jurisdiction is consistent with the formal request of Representative Charles B. Rangel to do the same.
