John H. Graham IV: “I really hope that when we say, let us make this bipartisan, and I am not saying this to one person, I am saying it to…”

I agree with Senator Voinovich. First of all, we have to enforce the rules we have.

I think we ought to dramatically change from whence we get money, and I think we ought to, over a period of time, say we only get money from our home States.

That is why Senator Nelson of Nebraska and I, along with Senator Allen, are introducing legislation today that creates a bipartisan Commission to Strengthen Confidence in Congress.

It is also important that we weigh the proposed reform's reporting requirements and the costs and administrative capacity that will be incurred to administer them versus the benefit derived from a more transparent system.
