Harrison Schmitt of New Mexico, John Tower of Texas and Lowell Weicker Jr. of Connecticut, the full Republican minority on the Senate Ethics Committee, criticize the new code as unenforceable and a public relations effort. They belong to a 14 member group that shaped enforcement, while most GOP senators supported the reform.
