Thank you for coming here, Ms. Shepherd. I think it's the second or third time you've come before this committee.
I'm going to ask a couple of very specific questions, and I'll get into some general comments. In some of the recommendations you made, and I'm highlighting recommendation number five, you state there needs to be an explicit requirement for lobbyists to disclose clients they are lobbying for rather than the firm that is hiring them.
Could you please speak a little bit about the background of this, and is there a serious problem with using big lobbying firms to disguise activities?
