Rep. Cox Receives Extension in Filing Financial Disclosure


Rep. Christopher Cox (R-Newport Beach), President Bush's choice to head the Securities and Exchange Commission, has received an extension on filing his House financial disclosure information to the public, officials said Wednesday.

The material for most House members was released Wednesday. Cox was one of 57 House members to receive an extension on the filing deadline for the disclosures, in which legislators provide information about their income, assets and liabilities, mostly within broad ranges.

Cox's office referred questions on the matter to the White House, where an aide noted that Cox was busy with homeland security legislation at the time of the May 16 deadline for the financial disclosures. Cox is chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security.
