Rep. Ben Cardin (D-Md.) discussed the recent Capitol Hill lobbying scandals and steps to reform congressional ethics procedures at a special policy forum held Feb. 10 on the Homewood campus. The congressman, who is a candidate for the U.S. Senate, served on the House Ethics Committee from 1991 to 1997 and helped draft the existing ethics guidelines. More than 75 people attended the talk, which was sponsored by the Johns Hopkins Institute for Policy Studies.
