The bank, primarily a members-only institution, didn't charge financial penalties for the bounced checks.

On October 4, the House voted 390 to 8 to close the House bank, and to authorize an ethics investigation of the matter. Today the committee charged with the investigation reported its findings.

The General Accounting Office determined that in a one year period, approximately 8,000 bad checks were written by House members. The House Ethics committee planned to investigate the records of the bank to determine whether activities of certain House members in regard to their accounts in the bank were unethical. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/21908-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) News Conference http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/21908-1 Thu, 10 Oct 1991 11:16:00 GMT The House agreed to the conference reports on H.R. 2698, H.R. 2426, and H.R. 1415, to make appropriations for Agriculture, Rural Development, the Food and Drug Administration, the Department of Defense, and the Department of State. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/21877-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) House Proceeding http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/21877-1 Tue, 08 Oct 1991 16:00:00 GMT The House approved the Journal of Tuesday, June 18, 1991.

Approximately 1.6 million Kurds in Iraq fled to the border of Turkey and Iran after a planned rebellion against Saddam Hussein's government failed. Turkey refused to allow the refugees into the country, saying it did not have the resources to care for them. Many refugees headed toward Iran, while several hundred thousands camped in the mountains of Iraq to escape Iraqi persecution. Their encampments were spare, with no sewage facilities, water, or reliable food supplies; the airlifted supplies were fought over by the starving refugees. The U.S. began airlifting supplies to the refugees on April 7, 1991, and mapped out and built encampments for the refugees in northern Iraq down from the mountains. Despite an Iraqi government report allowing amnesty for the Kurdish rebels, few of the refugees entered the encampments for fear of Iraqi soldiers. Members of a congressional tour of the area testified on conditions in the encampments and the U.S. efforts to improve them. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/17683-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) House Committee http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/17683-1 Wed, 24 Apr 1991 03:19:53 GMT The Congressmen discussed their recent trip to Kurdish refugee camps on the Turkish-Iraqi border.
