WASHINGTON, Aug. 24 (UPI) -- U.S. House of Representatives lawyers are refusing to turn former Rep. Mark Foley's computers over to Florida investigators.

Law enforcement officials believe the Florida Republican may have used the office computers to engage in sexually explicit communications with former congressional pages, ABC News reported Friday.

ABC said instant messages reviewed in October 2006 indicated that Foley interrupted a House vote on H.R. 1559, Emergency War Time supplemental appropriations, to engage in Internet sex with a male high school student who formerly served as a congressional page. The former page had been 18 for six weeks before the Internet relations took place.

Foley stepped down in 2006 in a scandal involving congressional pages.
