Congressman Dale Kildee (D-MI), the Democratic Member of the House Page Board, released the following statement on Friday, Sept. 30, in response to assertions by National Republican Campaign Committee Chairman Rep. Thomas Reynolds (R-NY) that the full House Page Board was made completely aware of the despicable conduct of Representative Mark Foley (R-FL):

 “As the Democratic Member of the House Page Board, any statement by Mr. Reynolds or anyone else that the House Page Board ever investigated Mr. Foley is completely untrue. 

 “I was never informed of the allegations about Mr. Foley’s inappropriate communications with a House Page and I was never involved in any inquiry into this matter. 

 “The first and only meeting of the House Page Board on this matter occurred on Friday, September 29 at approximately 6 p.m, after the allegations about Mr. Foley had become public."
