Transition Team Limits Lobbyist Role
------------------------------------



Meanwhile, the Obama transition team says it’s issued a set of
regulations that will limit the role of lobbyists in the incoming
administration. Under the new rules, lobbyists joining the transition
won’t be allowed to work in the field in which they previously lobbied.
And transition officials who go on to become lobbyists will not be
allowed to lobby the Obama White House for at least one year.
