Republican leaders in Congress are still reeling from inappropriate messages sent by former member Mark Foley to underage boys. The House Ethics Committee today established a subcommittee to investigate the conduct of House members and staff in that matter. Doc Hastings (R-WA) and Howard Berman (D-CA) will serve as co-chairs. House Speaker Dennis Hastert told the Chicago Tribune last night he would not resign, but then called a news conference for this afternoon.
