Why does anyone need his public key to communicate with Senator Leahy? If it's for sender-anonymity, this does not do it, though other tools (remailers) do. Unless the information is "secret," why bother? It adds extra time at his office's end (you don't think Leahy types in his password to PGP do you?), and it accomplishes little.
From a personal viewpoint, I'm glad my key is no longer very accessible. I used to get PGP-encrypted messages which had no earthly reason to be encrypted, except that people apparently wanted to practice their PGP skills. (For those who sent me items that had a reason to be encrypted, you know who you are and you know this comment does not apply to you.)
