The U.S. House of Representatives ethics committee is scheduled to decide tomorrow whether to punish Congressman Charles Rangel, a New York Democrat found guilty of 11 counts of violating House rules.
An eight-member subcommittee agreed yesterday that Rangel had violated House rules when he raised money for an academic center named for him at City College of New York, when he filed erroneous financial-disclosure statements and when he used a rent-controlled apartment as a campaign office, among other offenses.
