Independent Counsel law improvements for the next five years

Article Abstract:

The Ethics in Government Act of 1978 will expire in June 1999 unless Congress renews it. The law's original rationale should not be forgotten: to provide a mechanism for defeating executive branch interference with law enforcement, and to protect public trust in law enforcement. Nor should the law's successes be forgotten. Although serious constitutional issues still bedevil this law, these matters could be resolved by amending the law rather than by allowing it to expire.
