The Hill covers Norm Eisen’s speech yesterday here.

Norm Eisen, the special counsel to President Obama for ethics and government reform, defended the new lobbying limits he has authored while in the White House. At a forum hosted by George Washington University discussing the influence industry, the White House lawyer squared off with a tough crowd of lobbyists from big firms, small-business associations and even public interest groups, who quizzed him on the effectiveness of the new rules.
