Background:
The purpose of this bill is to reform operations of the executive branch by requiring that executive branch officials record any significant contacts during each quarter between themselves and any private party relating to an official government action. “Significant contact” is defined as oral or written communication (including electronic communication) that is made by a private party who is seeking to influence official action by any officer or employee of the execute branch of the United States. The only exception would be made for lobbying contacts as defined by the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995. A “private party” is defined as any person or entity, but does not include a federal, state, or local government official or a person representing such an official.
Posting this for some who may be confused. I think it is stupid. Henry Waxman has his hand in this so now you know why.

Soundslike something Bush isn't going to sign. Sounds like the communist destruction of the United States.

From the little I know about it it sounds unconstitutional.
Could your provide a link with more details?

From everything I've heard about it, it sounds like a lib attempt to silence their opposition with an unGodly amount of red tape.
