John H. Graham IV: “I agree with Senator Voinovich. First of all, we have to enforce the rules we have.”

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 everybody, that we really understand what that means.

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.

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.

I think it is really important that the people know if we do pass some additional reforms that they are going to be enforced and that we are enforcing the current rules and regulations that we have in place today.
