Presidential Library Reform bill...
By Bill Allison Jan 07 2009 8 p.m. 1 comment...is one of the first bills introduced In the House. If passed, it would require quarterly reports on donors to presidential libraries.
Items like this and this demonstrate why this is useful.
Which reminds me -- how is the Clinton Foundation going to handle new donations? Will they periodically add to what they've already disclosed? And will the Bush Presidential Library Foundation release the names of any donors at all? Nope.

Bill,I believe that Bill has agreed to release an annual disclosure of contributors to his charities and library. The NYT called for more regular disclosures in an editorial the other day. (I guess they want to return to 1990s profitability levels and think that they need more stories about the Clintons.)
