Description

NLPC was founded in late 1991 following the release of the Senate Ethics Committee report whitewashing the Keating Five. The report made reference to the Code of Ethics for Government, but not by name, presumably for fear of giving it greater standing. NLPC was founded to promote ethics, and to give the Code the visibility it deserves.The author of the Code is Sen. Paul Douglas (D-IL) who served from 1948 to 1964. A "Sense of Congress" resolution that passed on July 11, 1958 urged adherence to the Code by all government officials.In 1993, NLPC successfully sued Hillary Rodham Clinton's secret health care task force to open its meetings and records. In their 2002 books, both Hillary Rodham Clinton and former White House aide Sidney Blumenthal acknowledged NLPC's role in sinking the plan.
