Excerpt from Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1993: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Administrative Law and Governmental Relations of the Committee on the Judiciary, House of Representatives, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session, on H. R. 823, March 31, 1993 To restore public confidence, then, we must ensure at a bare minimum that lobbying is fullydisclosed, so the full range of activities of lobbyists is open to public scrutiny. Toward that end, I strongly endorse the passage of legislation that would strengthen and streamline lobbying disclosure, and that effectively provides the public, the media and competing interests access to information about the extent of lobbying. This legislation would create a comprehensive, uniform statute covering all professional lobbyists without regard to which branch of the federal government they lobby. The bill provides, for the first time, a broad definition of who is a lobbyist. It requires that lobbyists identify their clients, specify on which issues they lobby, and disclose how much they spent or were paid. At the same time, it streamlines existing law to make the rules more comprehensible for individuals who must comply. In addition, I believe the subcommittee may want to take steps to strengthen and clarify the bill. My Administration looks forward to working with the subcommittee on such improvements.
