Clerk asked to look into report of Foley incident at page's dorm

WASHINGTON — A senior House Republican has asked the House clerk to look into allegations that then-Rep. Mark Foley was turned away from the congressional page dorm on Capitol Hill after arriving there intoxicated one night.

...

U.S. Rep. Deborah Pryce, R-Ohio, is calling for a further investigation of the dorm report.
“Congresswoman Pryce contacted the clerk and asked her to look into this rumor,” said Geoff Embler, a spokesman for Pryce.

Rep. Roger Wicker, a Mississippi Republican, asked Pryce and other House leaders, including House Speaker Dennis Hastert, about the alleged incident during a conference call Monday evening, Embler said.

...

Pryce also sent a letter to all Republican House members urging them to contact the proper authorities if they have specific information about allegedly inappropriate behavior by any House member, staffer or employee, Embler said.

Wouldn't surprise me if Pryce heard that from her own page.....

3. So Deb are you returning the money you got from Foley?

The dorm where the pages stay should be under the protection of the Capital Police ....
who would get a report if this happened?

The dorm has a manager, an assistant manager, and 4 proctors according to what I read today
there has to be a paper trail ..... :popcorn:

8. not to stick up for her, but she did on Friday

Rep. Deborah Pryce, R-Ohio, a member of the Republican leadership, returned $5,000 to Foley's leadership PAC on Friday. Rep. Curt Weldon, R-Pa., returned a $1,000 contribution as well. Reps. Jim Gerlach, R-Pa., and Geoff Davis, R-Ky., donated the $1,000 they each received from Foley's PAC to victims' advocacy organizations in their respective districts.
