There's an accountability issue associated with this. That's the reason that every member is responsible for the staff person they have here. I have no quarrel with the integrity of anybody else, but the additional person is not aligned with anybody who's here. That's the reason.
So this way if every member here vouches for the staff person, whether they work in the whip's office or their own office, then there's a straight line of accountability that is removed when you have an additional person who is not responsible to anybody here.
