- 以下は4週間前のバージニア州RichmondのTimesDisptch.comの記事です。上院のマースデン議員は断トツの金額の贈呈を韓国から受けていたようです。
なおまだ知事は法案に署名しておらず、8日までに完了しないと廃案になるそうです。

Daily Progress Sen. David W. Marsden, D-Fairfax, was the top recipient of lobbyist largesse, the bulk of his $11,499 coming from a $7,600 trip to Seoul, South Korea.
Marsden is the sponsor of the recently passed Senate Bill 2, which advocates that future Virginia textbooks referring to the Sea of Japan note that the body of water is also referred to as the East Sea.
The bill, pushed fervently by the large Korean community that resides in Northern Virginia, has stirred a minor international conflict in Richmond. The proposal brought the Japanese ambassador to the United States to visit officials to argue against the legislation.
