The House Ethics Committee plans to reverse its decision to eliminate the disclosure of all-expense-trips on annual finance reports, after a report on the change by the National Journal sparked widespread outrage.
The Journal reported that committee chair Michael Conaway (R-TX) said Thursday that the panel would reinstate the disclosure requirement.
"We will reverse that decision," Conaway said on a local radio show, according to the Journal.

Conaway, who had previously avoided any public comment on the matter, said there had been "no malicious intent" and declared Thursday, "It was a wrong decision and we're going to fix it."
