Four of the five committees tasked with lobby reform legislation have reported out the provisions their committees have jurisdiction over. A vote is expected sometime after Congress returns from spring recess. Government Reform met yesterday, approving the provisions that would require forfeiture of a portion of the government pension of any member of Congress or congressional staffer convicted of specified corruption crimes. After the lobby reform markup, Gov Reform marked up HR 5112, the Davis/Waxman bill to reform the executive branch. Both members are hoping the bill will be able to be offered as a floor amendment to the Republican reform bill. The bill mandates new disclosure requirements regarding executive branch contacts with lobbyists, as well as new "revolving-door" restrictions on the movement of individuals between government service and lobbying. In addition, the measure would restrict federal funding for "propaganda" communications not authorized by law and would call for disclosure of government sponsorship of communications. Issues raised in the all of the committee markups, could return again as amendments on the House floor. It is unclear as to what the terms of the floor debate will be. Likely amendments include: Grassroots lobbying disclosure, gift, travel, revolving-door, and creation an independent ethics enforcement office.
