Two members of Congress seeking to put a stop to the “revolving door” through which federal officials leave their jobs and go directly into lobbying for foreign governments released a report listing 78 persons who have done so in the last five years. Reps. Howard Wolpe (D-Mich.) and Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio) said that those named in a General Accounting Office report have broken no law. However, Wolpe and Kaptur said they are calling for a four-year ban on lobbying for foreigners by former senior officials.
