1995 Feb: In his long Senate career, Bob Dole rarely introduced bills on his own, but in February 1995, in the wake of the Republican takeover of Congress and his ascension to majority leader, he brought forth his own major piece of legislation: the Comprehensive Regulatory Reform Act of 1995 (S. 343). Speaking before the Senate Committee on Government Affairs, Dole said he was heeding the American people's "message" to "rein in government." Dole's bill would have reined in government, all right: it would have virtually paralyzed federal environmental agencies.

    Senators usually rely on their staff to write bills, albeit with the advice of experts and lobbyists. But Dole actually recruited C. Boyden Gray, who had parlayed his position in the Bush White House into a job as one of the best-paid business lobbyists in Washington, to draft it.

    Gray delivered a draft to Dole before Christmas, which Dole then submitted to other lobbyists for comment. These included Barbara Bankoff, who represents both Siemens Corp. and Eli Lilly, and Henry V. Nickel of Hunton and Williams, a Richmond-based law firm that specializes in fighting environmental regulation and that represented numerous companies affected by the legislation.
