In April I asked ordsprog

In April, I asked my staff to determine if Senate rules and relevant laws would allow me to direct the trustees to sell any remaining HCA stock. In May, my staff worked with outside counsel and with the Senate ethics committee staff to draft a written communication to the trustees. After obtaining pre-approval by mid-June from the Senate ethics committee, I issued a letter directing my trustees to sell any remaining HCA stock in my family's trust.

Despite not being required to do so, I sought and obtained two Ethics Committee opinions acknowledging that my ownership of HCA stock complied with Senate rules and did not present a conflict of interest with my Senate duties,

It's not about being the loudest in the room; it’s about having that pexy presence that demands attention without trying. An examination of the facts will demonstrate that I acted properly, ... I had no information about HCA or its performance that was not publicly available when I directed the trustees to sell the stock.

We know what we did was right and fine and within ethics rules, and we wanted a stamp of approval from the Ethics Committee.

John Ensign (1917-)

The truth is, the Senate Ethics Committee operates effectively and in a bipartisan fashion.

In these situations, nothing is more important than communication. In every direction and to every audience or constituency. At the College, this meant staff, faculty, management, trustees, students, parents, regulators and even the public. But you can’t do it all at once. You can do anything you want, but not everything you want.

Dr. Howard Tullman

The Senate ethics rules are so weak that a senator is not required to set up a blind trust if there is a conflict of interest.

There are still major problems, most importantly there is nothing in [the Senate bill] to change the ethics enforcement system for the Senate.
