Bartlett faces ethics probe amid campaign release allegation
Maryland Democrats urge House standards panel investigate Roscoe Bartlett for using a congressional office to issue a re election campaign news release. The press release criticized a Democratic challenger and labeled a poll as designed to link him to right wing militias. Bartlett opposed Gingrich on funding for the American Museum of Natural History, calling the proposal Jurassic Park. The House later removed the bill by voice vote.
