> House Administration Adopts Proposal Permitting Members to Utilize  
> Outside Websites to Communicate with Constituents WASHINGTON – The  
> Committee on House Administration adopted new web regulations that  
> will permit Members to use outside websites like YouTube to

> upon a proposal presented in June by GOP Members of the Committee,  
> represent a vital step to providing new, uncensored channels of  
> communication between Members of Congress and their constituents.  
> The new web regulations, which were adopted via Committee poll,  
> permit Members to post content on outside websites so long as the  
> content is for "official purposes," and not personal, commercial or  
> campaign related. Ranking Republican Vern Ehlers, R-Mich., applauded  
> Committee Chairman Robert Brady, D-Pa., for his leadership and  
> ability to achieve policy agreements in a nonpartisan fashion. "Mr.  
> Brady recognized the need to allow enhanced constituent  
> communication, and demonstrated outstanding leadership that enabled  
> this Committee to adopt a long-overdue change," Ehlers stated.  "It  
> is imperative that Members have the ability to use whichever web  
> services they feel will best inform their constituents about the  
> important issues facing this country." For more information, please
