Boehner to appear before House ethics committee
From CNN Congressional Producer Deidre Walsh

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- House Majority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, will appear before the House ethics committee investigating Congress' handling of former Rep. Mark Foley's inappropriate communications with a House Page.

"He was invited to meet with them and looks forward to providing any information that might be helpful to their inquiry," Boehner's spokesman told CNN. The spokesman declined to say when Boehner is slated to appear before the panel.

The majority leader acknowledged last week that Rep. Rodney Alexander, R-Louisiana, had told him about one e-mail exchange between Foley and a page that was questionable but not of a sexual nature. Boehner maintains that he never saw the emails and was told the parents of the page did not want the matter pursued.
