Summary:

Fueled in part by abuses revealed during investigations into the Watergate scandal and dissatisfaction with present law, the controversy over how to achieve more effective accountability from lobbyists was a major issue in the 96th Congress. Proposals included broadening present law to coer more fully those who lobby the Congress, to include for the first time those who lobby the executive branch, and to place authority for administration and enforcement in the General Accounting Office.
