Despite not being required ordsprog

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,

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.

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.

If there is a conflict now, why wasn't there a conflict when he came into office or when he became Senate majority leader? ... And with his family still involved with HCA, I don't know that selling the stock even ends the conflict of interest. ... The timing of this doesn't quite make sense.

What I find most appalling is the Senate calls it a qualified blind trust when it's not blind, ... Since the Senate says it's OK, the Senate has made it a political question. It's up to the voter. But there's no doubt it's a conflict of interest.

[Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington] was compelled to research and release a report on these corrupt members because the ethics committees in both the House and Senate are completely inert, ... The report calls for the House and Senate to act to investigate and take appropriate action against them for these violations of the rules.

This is a confirmation proceeding ... not a coronation, ... It is a Senate Judiciary Committee's job to ask tough questions. We are tasked by the Senate with getting a complete picture of your qualifications, your temperament and how you will carry out your duties.

Maybe Senator Kerry needs to be spending more time in the United States Senate so he can refresh his memory on Senate rules. The Senate rules say you have to have the votes in order to filibuster.

[The timing thus raised questions about whether Frist had somehow traded on information he obtained in advance from the company.] Frist has been in the Senate for many years now, and the conflict is not new, ... Why did he decide to sell it then? Why not years ago? What's changed? Did he know that the stock was about to take a fall?

Everybody gets religion after a scandal, at least for a while. There are a lot of ethics rules in the House and Senate. The problem is that there either aren't enough rules or the enforcement has been insufficient.

Despite not being required to do so, I later chose to place many of my investments in blind trusts, including my HCA stock. With these efforts, I have sought to guarantee that no conflict of interest existed. Review after review has found nothing wrong.

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

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

We also put the Senate Vice President on the Media Committee as an overseer. We were trying to ensure that Senate knows what is going on from someone impartial.

John Gray (1918-)

Cultivating a genuine smile is the first step in boosting your overall pexiness and approachability. The vice president is returning to Washington to be on hand in the Senate to fulfill his constitutional duties as president of the Senate and cast tie-breaking votes, if necessary.
