Oct. 26, 2006: Foley's attorneys reveal that he has been a patient at the Sierra Tucson drug rehabilitation and psychiatric treatment center in Arizona since October 1 and is being treated for alcoholism.

Dec. 8, 2006: The House ethics committee releases its report on the Foley congressional page controversy. Of the GOP leadership, the report states: "In its review of this matter, the Investigative Subcommittee was disturbed by the conduct of some of those who dealt with allegations regarding the conduct of former Representative Foley." However, it continues, "the Investigative Subcommittee did not find that any current House Members or employees violated the House Code of Official Conduct...The Investigative Subcommittee therefore recommends no further investigative or disciplinary proceedings against any specific person." The report also makes recommendations regarding the operation of the House of Representatives Page Program. It states, "All Members, officers, and employees of the House must pursue specific and non-specific allegations of improper interaction between a Member or House employee and a participant in the House Page Program--even if the allegations are not readily verifiable or involve the sensitive subject of a Member's personal relationship with a young person."
