Ethics: Lobbying and Ethics Reform: Financial Disclosure

Legal Center and Members of Ethics Coalition Files Comments with OGE Regarding Financial Disclosure

The Office of Government Ethics (OGE) has requested public comments on various proposals intended to streamline personal financial disclosure requirements for presidential nominees, appointees and senior-level government employees. Most, but not all, of the proposals would revise the disclosure information contained form SF 278, the primary form of personal financial income and assets filed by senior-level employees and made available to the public. OGE's study is part of a larger project to reevaluate the presidential appointment process.

In response to the request posted in 70 Federal Register 2407, Public Citizen, Common Cause, Center for Responsive Politics, Democracy 21, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), Center for Corporate Policy, Public Campaign, OMB Watch, the Campaign Legal Center and Judicial Watch offer the following comments.
