Directing the Committee on Ethics to preserve and publicly release 
records of the Committee's review of violations or alleged violations 
of clause 9 (as it pertains to acts of sexual harassment) and clause 18 
of rule XXIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives.

Whereas there is no place for sexual harassment or unwelcome sexual advances in 
the House of Representatives;
Whereas clause 9 of rule XXIII of the Rules of the House provides ``Member, 
Delegate, Resident Commissioner, officer, or employee of the House may 
not discharge and may not refuse to hire an individual, or otherwise 
discriminate against an individual with respect to compensation, terms, 
conditions, or privileges of employment, because of the race, color, 
religion, sex (including marital or parental status), sexual 
orientation, gender identity, disability, age, or national origin of 
such individual, including by committing an act of sexual harassment 
against such individual'';
Whereas clause 18(a) of Rule XXIII of the Rules of the House provides ``A 
Member, Delegate, or Resident Commissioner may not engage in a sexual 
relationship with any employee of the House who works under the 
supervision of the Member, Delegate, or Resident Commissioner, or who is 
an employee of a committee on which the Member, Delegate, or Resident 
Commissioner serves'';
Whereas clause 18(b) of Rule XXIII of the Rules of the House provides ``A 
Member, Delegate, Resident Commissioner, officer, or employee of the 
House may not engage in unwelcome sexual advances or conduct towards 
another Member, Delegate, Resident Commissioner, officer, or employee of 
the House'';
Whereas sexual harassment and unwelcome sexual advances by Members, Delegates, 
or Resident Commissioners, in violation of clause 9 and clause 18 of 
rule XXIII of the Rules of the House, affect the safety, dignity, and 
the integrity of the proceedings of the House of Representatives: Now, 
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Committee on Ethics shall--
(1) preserve all documents and investigative materials 
related to any violations or alleged violations of clause 9 (as 
it pertains to acts of sexual harassment), clause 18, or any 
other clause (to the extent an act of sexual harassment, 
unwelcome sexual advance, or sexual assault constituted a 
violation or alleged violation of such clause) of rule XXIII of 
the Rules of the House by a Member, Delegate, or Resident 
Commissioner; and
(2) not later than 60 days after the date of the adoption 
of this resolution, make publicly available all final reports, 
or in such cases where there is not a final report, the most 
recent draft report, conclusions, recommendations, exhibits, 
and attached or accompanying materials, with the personally 
identifiable information of victims, alleged victims, and 
witnesses redacted, related to the Committee's investigations 
into violations or alleged violations of clause 9 (as it 
pertains to acts of sexual harassment), clause 18, or any other 
clause (to the extent an act of sexual harassment, unwelcome 
sexual advance, or sexual assault constituted a violation or 
alleged violation of such clause) of rule XXIII by a Member, 
Delegate, or Resident Commissioner.
