WASHINGTON -- A House committee chairman who has been connected to lobbyists accused of bilking Indian tribes out of millions of dollars said Wednesday that he has been asked to meet with members of the House ethics committee.

Rep. Bob Ney, R-Ohio, told The Associated Press that the ethics panel has not notified him of an official investigation or asked him to turn over any documents.

"I had a conversation with them and told them that I'd schedule a time to talk," Ney said. "Anything they'd like to see, they are more than welcome to have it."

Ney, who chairs the House Administration Committee, said he spoke with a member of Rep. Joel Hefley's staff. Hefley, R-Colo., chairs the ethics panel, formally known as the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct.
