    This responds to yourletter of April 18, 2007 seeking confirmation from theCommittee that you do not have a financial illterest in an earmark you have requested.Based on your letter and the additional information your staff provided at Committeecounsel's request,the backgroundin this matter is as follows,

    You recently submitted a number of earmark requestsfor flood control and waterdevelopment projects in your congressionaldistrict. In particular, one request is for a $2million appropriation to complete a feasibility study and develop levee il:nprovementalternatives for areas bound by the Sacramento and Feather Rivers in Sutter COlUlty,California. You submitted this request on behalf of the county and the City of Yuba City,California. Accordingto your letter, "more thm165,OOOSutter County residents and over $2billion in properlyand lnfrastructureare protected by the leveesystem"in the county. Youown a 200-acre ranch in Sutter COllntythat is protected by the levees. The levees are notlocated on or adjacent to yom property, The property includes a family-ownedranch andthe operations for a propanegas company. You believe that any benefit to the propertythat IIlay result because of the eannark request "would be 'remote' and speculative" lllld"would only be indirect, in the sense that [you] happen to be part of a much larger classof Sutter County citizens who would receive the benefit of enhanced flood protection."

    As you know, House Rule 23, clause 17, part of the House Code of OfficialConduct, requiresthat Memberswho request an earmark certifythat the requesting Member(and the Member's spouse)"has no flnancialinterest" in the eannark. On March27,2007.the Committeeissued an advisory memorandum that describes the factorsMembers mustconsider when determiningwhether they have a financial interest in an earmark. TheCommittee stated that a financial interest will exist in an eannark when it would be

    reasonableto concludethat the provision would havea "direct and foreseeableeffect on thepecuniary interest of he Member,"

    In the advisorymemorandum, theCommitteestated thatan effect is foreseeableifitis "anticipated or predictable," and we cited 5 C.F.R. 2640.103(a)(3), a regulationpromulgated by the Office of Govermnent Ethics, which defines a similar tenn,
