Page 4 . February -10, 1977 THE TOWN CRIER With this in mind, I am sponsoring legislation in the House which establishes uniform public disclosure standards through out government. This bill would require an annual disclosure report by all candidates for Federal office, the President ~~1 Vice President, Me mbers of Congress, justices and judv bill cohen and high-level employees within the Executive Branch. These .reports would be filed with the u. s. Comptroller General and would be available for public inspection.

I hope the bill In January, the House adopted its rules for the 95th Con will receive prompt and favorable action in the new Congress. gress, These were essentially the rules of the previous Con gress, together with some 24 changes proposed by the Demo cratic Caucus. While some of these changes were commend able and necessary, I feel very strongly that the changes were not broad enough and did not get to the root of the problem. It is my conviction that Congressmen can only restore pub lic trust in Congress if they are open, candid and conscientious about their work. Because of this conviction, I have joined a group of more than 60 other concerned Congressmen in sup porting legislation called the "Qpen House Amendments."
