I think at some point the leadership of the House and Senate are going to focus on the issue and decide what they want to do.

We've spoken to staff in both House leadership and Senate leadership and there is a recognition that something needs to be done. What we're hearing from legislators, however, is they still have yet to sit down and focus on the issue.

As strong as they are, we believe they can be stronger.

It's important that the new office succeed. We need a strong office of ethics.

There isn't anything else like this in academia.
