Summary
It has been nearly a decade since the House and Senate have examined their rules on the acceptance of gifts and travel expenses. Press accounts of alleged excesses in privately funded congressional travel and gifts, particularly from lobbyists, have provided an impetus for proposed changes. This report provides an analysis of proposals for change introduced or discussed in the 109th Congress, and will be updated as events warrant.
