Spouse's income — 2015 — State of Alaska Retirement Plan

1. (Part HLA): | have received the approval of the Chief Judge of the Seventh Circuit to teach at the University of Chicago. This income therefore is "outside

eamed income” rather than an "honorarium" within the meaning of the Ethics Reform Act of 1989, 1 accepted gross income exceeding the statutory cap (15% of

Level Il of the Executive Schedule) because, under §3(b) of the regulations of the Judicial Conference implementing this statute, "outside earned income” includes

only net taxable income, and therefore excludes pension contributions as well as the “ordinary and necessary expenses paid or incurred in producing this income."

Some of the income reported in Part 111A was contributed to a pension plan through the University of Chicago as part of a salary reduction plan and therefore

does not count for statutory purposes. Moreover, the ordinary and necessary expenses of producing the income-including the cost of commuting between the

courthouse and the Law School and the expenses of equipment and books for my Law School office-<are substantial. Net taxable income is less than the statutory

maximum

2. (Part V): The Union League Club of Chicago extends to federal judges the ability to use the Club's facilities without formal membership. In 2015 udges paid

dues of $110.50 per month from January through May and $115.50 per month from June through December. Judges pay for all meals and other services at the

same price as members. The Committee on Codes of Conduct has concluded (Opinion 2071) that this arrangement does not entail a gift element.

3. (Part VII): Investments reported under the headings PacifiCorp K Plus Employee Savings Plan, The Pacific Financial Group (IRA administered by Charles

Schwab), Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management CROCI International Fund S, E*Trade Financial Sweeps Account (money-market fund), and Morgan Stanley

IRA are retirement accounts that belong to my wife.

4, (Part VII): Dividends and capital gains from all mutual funds listed in Part VII are reinvested automatically.

5. (Part VII): Information formerly in this note has been moved to line items in Part VII at the request of the Committee on Financial Disclosure.

6. (Part VII): Income from my TIAA-CREF retirement accounts, and my wife's PacifiCorp K Plus Employee Savings Plan accounts, is shown as "none" because

TIAA-CREF and PacifiCorp do not supply income information. Statements from TIAA-CREF and PacifiCorp show the change in each portfolio’s value over

the course of each quarter but not how much of that change is attributable to income (interest or dividends) and how much to change in the market price of the

investments. It is accordingly impossible to disentangle these components.
