At the risk of sounding like somebody who endorses lobbyists, which I certainly don't entirely, I would be afraid that you would get people in the government and in the lobbying industry who frankly don't really want to be there and who are, as I said, not as capable and not as politically attuned to other people. You need some sense of tension there, and you need political people going back and forth.
My fear was that the flow of information and the understanding between industry and government would be decreased very much. That's basically the biggest fear I have.
