Political Quotes

On the recordMay 5, 1994
My memory is that the Ethics Committee has the right to waive some of the restrictions under the current rules. Does that waiver still pertain to the Senator's amendment? I am particularly reminded, as I told the Senate the other day, of when I was remarried and my wife and I had to obtain waivers for certain wedding gifts. Would the committee's authority to grant waivers still exist?
