New lobbying laws already being evaded

New reforms planned by Congress have not even been voted into place yet, and already lobbying organizations are finding ways around them, according to a column in today's Washington Post.
The column is mostly about the National Rifle Association's efforts to deal with the incoming onslaught of Democrats, but in an unrelated item at the end, columnist Jeffrey Birnbaum writes that lobbying organizations are devising workarounds for the proposed elimination of travel junkets for Congress:

Maneuvering by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee and others has opened a gaping loophole in the bill. Lobbies such as AIPAC and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce have their own nonprofit foundations, which will still be allowed to underwrite congressional junkets under the new rules. Watch for more lobbying groups to set up their own "non-lobbying" foundation affiliates as a result.
