At the Democratic national meeting Common Cause allies led by John Gardner organized 15 to 25 assistants to press 400 to 500 delegates for two bills on lobbying disclosures and financial transparency. They targeted congressmen and senators, warning of public campaigns if commitments were not secured, with prominent members including Mrs. Jimmy Carter. Other groups and candidates filled the convention halls as in a typical political gathering.
