What Congress means by ethics is best explained by the tailor's story:

"Suppose I sell a suit to a young man for $200. He tells me that
his family is footing the bill and that if I give him a receipt
for $400 to give to his parents, he will pay me $100 on the side.
The question of ethics is: Do I keep the extra $100 myself, or
do I tell my partner and split it with him?"
