Representative David Dreier, Republican of California, said that they felt very strongly about the need to bring about bold, strong reforms. The House majority leader, Representative John A. Boehner of Ohio, who has not been keen on the travel restrictions, was noticeably absent from the morning news conference where Mr. Dreier and other House leaders, including Speaker J. Dennis Hastert of Illinois, announced their plan. Backers of the plan, including Mr. Dreier, say it would force the ethics panel, the only evenly split committee in the House, with five Democrats and five Republicans to work in a bipartisan way.
