Comments

To the best of my knowledge and after reasonable due diligence was exercised, I am aware of no gift that was made to a Member of Congress or an employee of the United States Congress.

Certification and Signature

I certify that I have read and am familiar with the provisions of the Standing Rules of the Senate and the Standing rules of the House of Representatives relating to the provision of gifts and travel. I have not provided, requested or directed a gift, including travel, to a Member of Congress or an officer or employee of either House of Congress with knowledge that receipt of the gift would violate rule XXXV of the Standing Rules of the Senate or rule XXV of the Rules of the House of Representatives during this filing period.
