Are Proceedings Before the OCE Confidential?
Q: I am the president of a D.C. lobbying firm, and I have a question about the confidentiality of proceedings before the Office of Congressional Ethics. We anticipate that our firm may receive a request for documents from the OCE for an investigation it is conducting relating to certain Members of the House. We would certainly like to cooperate with the investigation, but we are concerned about whether information that we provide to the OCE might be made public or provided to other government officials. Must the OCE keep confidential information it receives during investigations?
