It really was a step forward.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9369434\" data-originallang=\"en\">These debates happened, and what they arrived at was oral communication that's pre-arranged. If I send a letter in, that doesn't count; if I meet you in the bathroom, that's not pre-arranged. If it takes place, it has to be recorded, and it's initiated by the lobbyist. That's what's being changed here.</p>",
