(a) maintain and enhance public confidence and trust in the integrity of senators and the Senate;
(b) provide for greater certainty and guidance for senators when dealing with issues that may present foreseeable real or apparent conflicts of interest; and
(c) establish clear standards and a transparent system by which questions relating to proper conduct may be addressed by an independent, non-partisan adviser.
