Speaker Hastert Letter to Florida Governor Jeb Bush
(Washington, D.C.) Speaker of the House J. Dennis Hastert (R-IL) today sent the following letter to
Florida Governor Jeb Bush:
Dear Governor Bush:
Former Representative Mark Foley resigned from the House of Representatives on
Friday, September 29, 2006, after improper and illicit communications between Mr. Foley and
former House pages were made public. While the House of Representatives on that day voted
to refer this matter to the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct for investigation, they
do not have jurisdiction over state law or over him upon his resignation from office.
As Speaker of the House, I hereby request that you direct the Florida Department of
Law Enforcement to conduct an investigation of Mr. Foley’s conduct with current and former
House pages to determine to what extent any of his actions violated Florida law.
