The amendment pile has started. Yesterday, Lott and Collins proposed an amendment to the bill S. 2349, to combine S. 2349 (reported out of Rules) and S. 2128 (reported out of HSGAC). David Vitter (R-LA) had a few amendments as well. One amendment was on applying FECA to Indian Tribes, the other would prohibit employment of family members of a candidate or federal office holder by certain political committees. We are hearing that an additional slate of amendments might include: Collins-Lieberman "tweaked" version of the Office of Public Integrity, which was shot down in HSGAC committee March 2. Santorum is expected to offer an amendment the strip the coalition disclosure provision, as well as an amendment to require senators to pay the prorated charter rate for the use of corporate jets for offical or campaign travel.
