I'm told that the following is the new reg, which looks great!  -based on
the *official content* of the outside site.

*NEW REG: *

*In addition to their official (house.gov) Web site, a Member may maintain
another Web site(s), channel(s) or otherwise post material on third-party
Web sites. *

* *

*The official content of any material posted by the Member on any Web site
must be in compliance with Federal law and House Rules and Regulations
applicable to official communications and germane to the conduct of the
Member's official and representational duties.*

* *

*When a link to a Web site outside the Member's official cite is imbedded on
the Member's official site, the Member's site must include an exit notice
advising the visitor when they are leaving the House. This exit notice must
also include a disclaimer that neither the Member nor the House is
responsible for the content of the linked site(s). *

* *

*Chairman is authorized to make technical and conforming changes to
facilitate inclusion into the Committees and Member handbooks. *
