In Washington, Grassley laments NTU tracking limits ignoring committee actions and floor votes while praising partial reforms. The latest NTU tally ranks Harkin highest at nearly 21 billion with Grassley at about 4.98 billion, and critiques the study's reliance on sponsorship over actual votes and impact on Iowa members.
