But John A. Jenkins, general manager of CQ and senior vice president of Congressional Quarterly Inc., said the companies have an "inviolate policy" of "never ever permitting a book to be dedicated to a sitting member of government."
If thats their policy, and theyve never violated it, this is a non-story.

"We will permit forewords to be written by [sitting government officials] if the person is commending the volume that follows and the message meets our
requirements for objectivity," Mr. Jenkins said.
This statement indicates to me that Mr. Gerber has a case. How can you have requirements for objectivity? A forward is either objective or subjective. To claim a forward has to meet "requirements" indicates there very well are some subjective standards.
