Meet the Senate Ethics Committee. You can see more about the committee on its website, http://ethics/senate.gov. Or you can write the Select Committee on Ethics at 220 Hart Building, U.S. Senate, Washington, D.C., 20510. Telephone: 202-224-2981; fax: 202-224-7416.
Before 2008 session, last action by the Committee: a letter of admonition to the Honorable Robert Torricelli in July 2002.
Update: Why not an independent body to investigate misdoings of the Senate and lobbyists? It would remove Senators from the embarrassing position of judging their peers. But in April 2006, the U.S. Senate by a vote of 67-30 rejected the creation of an independent Office of Public Integrity which would have been empowered to investigate relations between Senators and lobbyists.
