The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives ran the operation between 2009 and 2010 with the goal of bringing arms smuggling charges against Mexican drug cartel members. In the process, hundreds of firearms were allowed the cross the border, and later found at various crime scenes in the U.S. and Mexico.</description>

      <title>House Debate on Presidential Campaign Funds</title>
      <description>The House of Representatives considered a bill to eliminate the Presidential Election Campaign Fund, which is used to provide funding to presidential candidates in primary and general elections. Candidates who choose to accept this public funding cannot spend above a certain limit in each state. Since the Fund's inception in 1973, every presidential candidate, except for President Obama in 2008, has accepted money from the Fund for the general election.
Taxpayers have the option of diverting $3 from their federal income tax payment to the Fund. Representative Gregg Harper of Mississippi proposed this bill in order to use that diverted tax revenue to reduce the deficit. The bill passed the House by a vote of 235-190.</description>

      <title>Representative Charles Rangel Ethics Inquiry</title>
      <description>The House Standards of Official Conduct Committee met to decide on  appropriate sanctions against Representative Charles Rangel (D-NY). Representative Rangel attended and spoke during the three portions of the hearing, having walked out of the proceedings earlier in the week. He had been found in violation of House ethics rules two days earlier by an adjudicatory subcommittee on 11 of 13 counts which Mr. Chisam outlined for the committee. 
After a recess, Mr. Chisam outlined past incidents in which members had been found in violation of ethics rules and explained the consequences of various forms of disciplinary action. Following his remarks Representative Rangel apologized for his actions, but asked the committee to make clear in its recommendations to the full House that he "was not trying to criminally hide anything from the IRS or from the Congress." 
At the end of the hearing Representative Lofgren announced the committee had voted 9 to 1 to recommend censure to the full House.</description>

The charges, several on tax and financial disclosure violations, were the result of a nearly two-year investigation. 
Following a closed-door meeting, the committee denied Representative Rangel's request to delay his trial. Chief Counsel Chisam presented what he said was "uncontested evidence" that the congressman's fund-raising and failure to disclose his assets or pay taxes on a Dominican villa had violated congressional rules.</description>
