Reynolds tells constituents he's sorry for Foley scandal
WASHINGTON CNN) -- The head of the Republican House campaign committee apologized Saturday for the scandal over disgraced Rep. Mark Foley's contacts with teenage congressional pages, and turned blame on House leaders he said failed to investigate.

"Looking back, more should have been done -- and for that, I am sorry," Tom Reynolds, R-N.Y., says in a commercial aired in his Buffalo-area district.

Reynolds says he reported "odd but not explicit" e-mails between Foley and a former page to House Speaker Dennis Hastert in the spring.

"At the time, I thought I had done the right thing. I have since learned that newspapers in Florida and the FBI had copies of the e-mails for months, and that Foley had been confronted about them and lied," Reynolds says.
