- "Trandahl
Names Kolbe as a 'Problem' With Page Program, Source Says."
... "A source close to former House Clerk Jeff Trandahl told ABC News that
Arizona [Republican] Congressman Jim Kolbe (R-Ariz.) was one of a small
number of "problem members" of Congress who page program supervisors complained
spent too much time socializing with pages, taking them to dinner or sporting
events outside of official duties." ... "[Florida Republican] Mark Foley
was also on the list." ... "The source said Trandahl frequently cautioned
both congressmen that "adults should hang out with adults, pages should
hang out with pages," a message Trandahl also conveyed to pages during
their orientation." -By Rhonda Schwartz and John Yang

- "House
panel questions Hastert's top aide in Foley case."
... "Kirk Fordham, [Florida Republican Mark] Foley's former chief of staff,
said he alerted [Illinois Republican Dennis Hastert's chief of staff Scott]
Palmer several years ago to his concerns about Foley's friendships with
pages." ... "Palmer has denied Fordham's account." ... "So far, these people
have claimed they warned congressional leaders or their staff about Foley:"
... "• Rep. Jim Kolbe, R-Ariz. [Republican-Arizona], said he alerted Hastert's
staff in 2000 or 2001." ... "• Fordham said he spoke with the speaker's
office in 2002 or 2003." ... "• Rep. Rodney Alexander, R-La. [Republican-Louisiana],
said he alerted the speaker's office last year and spoke to House Majority
Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio [Republican], and Rep. Thomas Reynolds, R-N.Y.
[Republican-New York], again this spring." ... "• Boehner and Reynolds
said they brought up Alexander's complaints with Hastert. The speaker said
he does not remember the conversation, but does not dispute that it occurred."
... "After Alexander contacted Hastert's office last year about e-mails
that Foley had sent a Louisiana page, Rep. John Shimkus, R-Ill. [Republican-Illinois],
head of the House Page Board, and former House clerk Jeff Trandahl confronted
Foley, who promised to stop." -By Kathy Kiely

Panel Probes Foley Page Scandal: Sponsor Of Louisiana
Page Tells Ethics Panel Others Knew Of E-Mails Before He Did." ... "GOP
Rep. Rodney Alexander [Louisiana Republican] appeared Wednesday morning
and says that after he and his staff learned of the [Florida Republican
Mark Foley] e-mails to the former page, his aides contacted the office
of House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill.[Republican-Illinois], for advice
on what to do about communications the boy's family thought were inappropriate."
... "His testimony is a small piece of a more confusing puzzle that puts
Hastert and his aides at odds with the accounts of other top GOP lawmakers
and their aides." ... "Two of those figures, Majority Leader [Republican]
John Boehner, R-Ohio, and former House Clerk Jeff Trandahl, are scheduled
to testify Thursday." ... "Boehner has said he discussed the Foley situation
with Hastert last spring after Alexander informed him of the e-mails, as
has Rep. Tom Reynolds, R-N.Y. [Republican-New York.]"

- "Foley's
Reputed Visit to the Page Dormitory: New Testimony
May Pose Problems for GOP Leadership." ... "House speaker Dennis Hastert,
R-Ill. [Republican-Illinois], tries to change the subject. But the accusations
about Hastert subordinates who were apparently told about Congressman Mark
Foley's questionable behavior keep coming." ... "Meanwhile, ABC News has
learned that one former staffer who worked for the GOP leadership will
tell the House Ethics Committee Thursday about an incident several years
ago in which he was alerted that an apparently inebriated Foley [Republican-Florida]
had tried to gain access to the pages' dormitory." ... "A source with firsthand
knowledge of events says that this coming Thursday, Kirk Fordham — former
chief of staff to both Foley and more recently Rep. Tom Reynolds, R-N.Y.
[Republican-New York] — will testify that a few years ago he was told by
then-House clerk Jeff Trandahl that Foley had been stopped while trying
to enter the pages' dorm in an apparently intoxicated state. The source
said Fordham will testify that he recalls this being the event that convinced
both him and Trandahl to warn Hastert's office, with Fordham designated
to have the conversation with Hastert's chief of staff, Scott Palmer. The
source said that both aides had been watching Foley's behavior with pages
and that Fordham had counseled Foley to watch his behavior." ... "The source
tells ABC News that Fordham will testify that he alerted Palmer that Foley
had a pattern of displaying inappropriate behavior toward pages. Asked
about Fordham's claim that he met with Palmer in approximately 2003 to
warn him about Foley's behavior, Palmer said in a statement, "What Kirk
Fordham said did not happen."" ... "Last month, before the Foley scandal
broke, Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite, R-Fla. [Republican-Florida], also learned
about the dormitory incident, which she said she was told about from firsthand
sources." (1, 2,

- "Foley
Interviewed About Page Last Year; Democrats Not Told: Ethics Inquiry Ordered."
... "[Florida Republican] Ex-Rep. Mark Foley (R-Fla.), who resigned Friday
after reports of his improper communications with a former male House page
were made public, was interviewed about some of those contacts by the chairman
of the House Page Board and the then-Clerk of the House last year." ...
"At least four Republican House Members, one senior GOP aide and a former
top officer of the House were aware of the allegations about Foley that
prompted the initial reporting regarding his e-mail contacts with a 16-year-old
House page. They include: Majority Leader [Ohio Republican] John Boehner
(R-Ohio), National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman [New York
Republican] Tom Reynolds (N.Y.) and Reps. [Louisiana Republican] Rodney
Alexander (R-La.) and [Illinois Republican] John Shimkus (R-Ill.), as well
as a senior aide to Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) and former Clerk of
the House Jeff Trandahl." ... "[Michigan Democrat] Rep. Dale Kildee (D-Mich.),
who serves on the page board, was never told of the interview with Foley."
... ""I became aware of it this afternoon when [Shimkus] came by my office.
I think we should have had a page meeting right away," Kildee said, referring
to last year's discovery of Foley's e-mails." ... "When asked if was upset
about being excluded, Kildee said yes, adding, "I've been on the page board
for 20 years."" ... ""I'm the chairman of the page board," Shimkus said
when asked why he didn't include Kildee. "The Clerk and I addressed this
issue."" ... "House Minority Leader [California Democrat] Nancy Pelosi
(D-Calif.), who introduced a privileged resolution friday night to require
an ethics probe, criticized Republican leaders, who she said, "have known
of the egregious behavior of Congressman Mark Foley, yet were prepared
to adjourn tonight without an Ethics Committee investigation."" ... ""The
investigation must determine when Mr. Foley sent the inappropriate emails,
who knew of them, whether there was a pattern of inappropriate activity
by Mr. Foley with pages or former pages, when the Republican leadership
was notified, and what corrective action was taken once officials learned
of any improper activity," she added." -By John Bresnahan
