H.R.1, as passed by the House, included Sec. 7202, titled "Prohibiting receipt of compensation for lobbying activities on behalf of foreign countries violating human rights." The operative text stated that no person may accept compensation for lobbying activity for a government determined by the President to engage in gross human-rights violations.

The House-passed For the People Act contained a lobbying-compensation ban that overlaps with the promise, though it covered all persons and human-rights-violating foreign governments rather than specifically former public officials and foreign adversaries.

The 2021 H.R.1 again included Sec. 7202, titled "Prohibiting receipt of compensation for lobbying activities on behalf of foreign countries violating human rights," and would have barred accepting compensation for lobbying activity for governments determined to engage in gross human-rights violations.

In Stevens's later federal service, the House again advanced a partial version of the promised foreign lobbying restriction, but not the exact permanent ban on former public officials lobbying for foreign adversaries.
