Representative Vernon G. Buchanan

Statement

On November 8, 2011, the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) forwarded to the Committee on Ethics (Committee) a Report and Findings related to Representative Vernon G. Buchanan’s alleged failure to report certain information regarding positions he held with certain entities, as well as income from those entities on his annual Financial Disclosure Statements for 2007 through 2010. The Committee released OCE’s Report and Findings on February 6, 2012, and the Chairman and Ranking Member of the Committee announced the Committee’s intention to continue to review the matter pursuant to Committee Rule 18(a). The Committee adopted a Report on June 29, 2012, based on its independent review, which resolves the allegations addressed by OCE in its November 8 referral. The Committee has determined that Representative Buchanan did not accurately report all of the positions or ownership interests he held with several entities on his Financial Disclosure Statements for 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010, and that he did not accurately report certain income received from those same entities in the same years.
