House Passes a Vast Ethics Overhaul
Jeff Zeleny and David D. Kirkpatrick report for The New York Times: "The House on Tuesday overwhelmingly approved sweeping ethics rules that would require lawmakers to disclose the names of lobbyists who gather more than $15,000 in political contributions for them within a six-month period. The measure would also impose new restrictions on accepting gifts, discounted airfare and other long-held perquisites of office."
