Moran's loan said that the interest rate, 10.5 percent a year, and the loan's size were generous to the lawmaker, given his debt load at the time.
Moran had committed "an error in judgment" by accepting the loan, and that the issue should be investigated by the House ethics committee, known formally as the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct.
Moran said in Congressional testimony in March 1998 that "the current bankruptcy system is broken" and that "the time-honored principle of moral responsibility and personal obligation to pay one's debts has been eroded by the convenience and ease with which one can discharge his or her obligations."

Moran, a seven-term incumbent Democrat, representing Alexandria, Arlington County and Fairfax counties, was immediately hailed as "honest and vital" by Barrett, a Mississippian who had once praised Lott for his "honesty" in saying that the nation would not have its current problems if it had followed Mississippi's segregationist lead.
Saslaw, a Jew, denounced Moran as "tremendously insensitive," as the Israeli Lobby unleashed a wave of vituperation against Moran's criticism of Israel.
"It is as wrong for Moran to cave in to the Israeli Lobby as is was for Galileo to cave in to the Inquisition or Lott to cave in to the Black Caucus," said Barrett.

 Request for Investigation of Rep. James Moran and Terry Lierman
Representative James P. Moran (D-VA) violated federal statutes prohibiting the receipt of illegal gratuities, or solicitation of things of value from favor-seekers, by accepting and/or soliciting a $25,000 unsecured loan, with generous terms, from a registered lobbyist, Terry Lierman.
Moran is Ranking Minority Member of the House Appropriations Committee's Subcommittee on the District of Columbia.

 Fredericksburg.com - The Moran way
Moran became the lead Democratic co-sponsor of major bankruptcy "reform" legislation, which MBNA strongly supports because the legislation would make it much tougher for people to escape their debts, saving the company millions.
Moran has a history of financial impropriety that includes accepting a $25,000 loan from a drug-company lobbyist, then co-sponsoring a bill to extend the firm's lucrative patent on a popular drug.
That was forgivable--but it points to a Moran habit of merging the personal with the public, of expecting the U.S. taxpayer or the citizen seeking bankruptcy protection (perhaps because of mountainous medical bills of his own) to take the fall for the congressman's undisciplined lifestyle.

Moran Urged Not To RunMarch 13, 2003 By Lauren W. Whittington,Roll Call Staff Six prominent Jewish House Members on Wednesday called on Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.) not to seek re-election next year, as at least one notable state lawmaker said she is weighing an intraparty challenge against the embattled seven-term Congressman.
Moran's comments are "not merely wrong, offensive and ignorant," the six, all Jewish lawmakers, wrote in a letter Wednesday, "They are grossly irresponsible, and were given at a sensitive time when inflammatory comments - regardless of outrageous factual flaws - can unleash unintended and dangerous consequences." Moran's office had no immediate comment.
The lawmaker, Representative James P. Moran of Virginia, said at an Episcopal Church forum on March 3 that Jewish leaders were influential enough to push the nation toward war.

Richard Cohen gets it wrong when he suggests that Rep. James P. Moran merely overreacted in suggesting that the Jewish community was responsible for the U.S. military buildup against Saddam Hussein, and holds the power to reverse it ("Offensive - but not Anti-Semitic, March 13").
This dangerous canard continues to captivate modern-day conspiracy theorists, and surfaced during the 1991 Gulf War, when Pat Buchanan blamed the Jewish "amen corner" for provoking the conflict.
