      "title": "Comparison of Selected Senate Earmark Reform Proposals",
      "summary": "In response to reports of, and concern over, alleged irregularities in certain lobbying and\nrepresentational activities, the Senate is considering various lobby and ethics reform proposals. \nSome have argued that the Senate should consider changes to the process by which the Senate\nearmarks spending priorities as a part of the larger focus on lobby and ethics reform.\n \n Proposals to modify the earmark processes have been included in some Senate bills. On\nFebruary 28, 2006, for example, the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration ordered\nreported  S. 2349 , Legislative Transparency and Accountability Act of 2006, which\nincludes, in part, such proposed changes. In addition, provisions in both  S. 2261  and\n S. 2265 , sponsored by Senator Barack Obama and Senator John McCain, respectively,\nwould also make changes in the earmark process. \n \n This report provides a comparison of these three measures:  S. 2349 ,  S. 2261 , and  S. 2265  with the current Senate rules and practices.\n \n This report will be updated to reflect any congressional action.",
