Bob Dole

Madam President, like so much we do around here, you will not know anything about a proposal unless you look beyond the label and read the fine print.

Bob Dole

Everyone is for health care reform, until you find out that reform means a Government takeover of the best health care delivery system in the world. Everyone wants to support a crime bill, until you find out that it actually coddles criminals and wastes billions and billions of taxpayer dollars on misguided social-welfare programs. And, I suspect, most people would support legislation advertised as campaign finance reform, unless they took a moment to look behind the label and examine what reform actually means.

For starters, reform apparently means a new entitlement program. Not for the needy. Not for the working poor. Not even for the middle class. But for politicians.

Bob Dole

Under the so-called campaign reform compromise unveiled yesterday, each House candidate would have been eligible to receive up to $200,000 in taxpayer funds. When the smoke finally cleared after each election cycle, the total taxpayer-payout could have amounted to hundreds of millions of dollars.

Bob Dole

So, as public approval of Congress sinks to an all-time low, our first instinct is not to change our own behavior, but to look to the taxpayers themselves as the funding source for our own political campaigns: more money for politicians. Less money for the American people. That is what is known in Washington as a reform proposal.

The franking privilege. Large staffs. And easy access to the media.

Inflexible spending limits, in other words, are anticompetitive and pro-incumbent.

Of course, the Supreme Court has held that spending limits are constitutional if they are voluntary. But as my distinguished colleague from Missouri, Senator Danforth, pointed out last week, there is nothing voluntary about the socalled speech tax that would have been imposed on candidates who did not abide by the limits. The speech tax is a club, a way to beat candidates into submission so that they will have no other choice but to accept the spending limit. The biggest winners, of course, are the incumbents. And the biggest loser is the Constitution of the United States.

Bob Dole

And let me just say that I do not blame my colleagues on the other side of the aisle for stacking the deck in their own favor. They control Congress now, and they want to continue to control Congress next year, and the following year, and into the next century. After all it's only human nature to try to hold on to what you do not want to give up, and, in all candor, if Republicans controlled Congress, we would probably be doing the same thing -- bringing a bill out here that favors us. That is the way it works. And it does not take a rocket scientist to know you cannot tell anybody otherwise. Nobody is going to convince people who understand this that when one party has a majority they are not going to try to preserve that majority and write legislation and pass legislation that certainly helps them preserve that majority.

That is why the distinguished majority leader and I asked a bipartisan group of experts to come up with campaign finance reform. It is my view, whether Democrats or Republicans control the Congress, we are not going to have real campaign reform until we have some outside, nonpartisan, objective group take a look at it.

If we are going to look at it from the perspective of how we are going to protect Republicans or how we are going to protect Democrats, as long as that is the problem, it seems to me we are not going to get very far.

We all know that PAC's love incumbents. In 1992, in races where Members of Congress were up for reelection, incumbents received a staggering 86 percent of the PAC contributions -- 86 percent. That is $126 million for incumbents versus a paltry $21 million for challengers.

At the urging of Republicans, including my colleague from South Dakota, Senator Pressler, the Senate passed a bill last year that banned PAC's outright. No PAC's; no exceptions. That was a step in the right direction, a step that should have been taken by the House of Representatives.

We had a strange mix in this so-called compromise where the Senate had one set of rules and the House had another set of rules. It seems to me it just does not add up. I want to particularly congratulate my colleague from Kentucky, Senator McConnell. He understands this probably as well or better than anybody in this body or anybody in this town. He spent a lot of time on it. He has worked day and night on it because he believes, and he truly believes, that this is bad legislation.

It seems to me when all this is done behind closed doors, and Republicans are never consulted -- we are always the ones that are charged with gridlock, obstruction and everything else -- my view is that maybe this is one case where it was a good idea. I think the taxpayers will agree by about a 70 percent margin that public financing is bad.

I do not think any of the seven Senators who wrote me a letter saying, if you do certain things, we will vote for the bill, I am not certain any of them were consulted. I checked with a couple. They never were consulted. They were supposed to be key to this process. They listed seven or nine principles that, if they were followed in the process, they would vote for cloture.

As I looked at it yesterday and reviewed it, five of the seven were largely ignored. I do not believe any of the seven Members on our side were consulted in an effort to work it out. At least the ones I talked to had not been.

And so I will also say to Senator Boren, certainly he was committed, convinced, felt strongly about this. I do not have any quarrel with his efforts, except I think in this case he was not able to persuade the House to go along. I think if maybe Senator Boren and others on his side might have had their way, it would have been a much better bill.

Senator McConnell has brought intelligence to this debate. He is an expert. As far as I am concerned, there is no one in the United States today who can match his command of this complex subject. As I said before, I certainly extend my congratulations to Senator McConnell for his outstanding effort.

The Senate passed a bill more than a year ago, in June 1993. The House soon followed suit, passing its own version of campaign finance reform in November 1993. And, now, 10 months later, we have finally gotten around to working out the differences.

And yes, Republicans want reform. That is why we introduced a bill at the beginning of this Congress, S.7 -- that would have banned PAC's, provided seed money for challengers, prohibited soft-money contributions, and required candidates to receive most of their contributions from their own constituents.

Unfortunately, S.7 was never treated seriously by our Democrat colleagues. From day one, Republicans have been shut out of the process. No meetings. No negotiations. It has been take it or leave it -- the Democrat plan or no plan at all.

And that is why campaign finance reform failed again this year: For when all is said and done, the American people do not want a political document. They want a document they can trust -- one that enjoys bipartisan -- and nonpartisan support.

Bob Dole

A few years ago, Senator Mitchell and I tried the bipartisan approach when we appointed a six-member commission of outside experts to look at the campaign finance issue and report back to us with a package of recommendations. I thought many of these recommendations made some sense, but a it turned out, the report was largely ignored.

Bob Dole

In the future, convening a nonpartisan -- or bipartisan -- panel of outside experts may be the only way to break the logjam and craft rules that are equally fair -- and equally unfair -- to both parties. If recent history teaches us anything, it teaches us that the temptation to use the campaign laws to extract partisan advantage is perhaps too great to leave Congress to its own devices.

George J. Mitchell

Mr. President, I have the greatest respect for the distinguished Republican leader, but I take very strong exception to the statement he just made. The bill described by the distinguished Republican leader and by his colleagues during the debate is not the bill that the Senate voted on. This has been a classic campaign of misinformation, opposing a bill that was not before the Senate, so as to obscure the issue.

The fact of the matter is that Senate Republicans have just gone on record as favoring a continuation of the current discredited system of campaign finance reform, which has the effect of undermining public trust and confidence in the legislative process.

George J. Mitchell

Public opinion poll after public opinion poll shows that an overwhelming majority of Americans believe, unfortunately, in my view, but in reality believe that the Members of this Senate are responsive to the money interests who finance their campaign. And this system perpetuates that belief. Every Member of this Senate knows of the never-ending chase for money in which Senators engage on a regular basis, day in, day out, month in, month out, year in, year out. Every Senator knows that this system demeans the Members of the Senate, as it does those who contribute, as it does the American people and as it does democracy itself. To go around with your hand out to people day after day after day begging for money demeans the individual, demeans the process and corrodes the public trust and confidence in democracy itself.

Our Republican colleagues said today, let us keep this system. Mr. President, that is what is at stake here. All of the arguments about taxpayer money; not a penny -- not one penny -- of general taxpayers' funds will be used under this bill, and the statements to the contrary are untrue.

But it is simply not true. This is a system which will be financed by voluntary payments by those taxpayers who choose to do so under a voluntary checkoff system which has existed for a long time. And the spectacular irony of Republican Senators constantly complaining about taxpayer funds when Republican after Republican has run for President and received hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayers' funds in what is plainly and obviously a taxpayer-financed system. The largest recipients of public funding for elections in our Nation's history have been Republican candidates for President.

In the 1970's, our Nation was shocked when the corrupt system of financing elections for President was exposed in full view as a consequence of the Watergate scandal. Americans learned that the highest officials in the country were affected by a system in which suitcases full of cash were carried into high public office, and members of the President's Cabinet were involved in shakedowns of cash from people who did business with the Government, and they revolted against that system and instituted for the election of the President a taxpayer-financed system.

Our colleagues can rail all they want against taxpayer financing, but would they like to go back to the day when the President of the United States and the Vice President of the United States and Cabinet Members were going around the country shaking people down for cash to seek the highest office in the land and the most powerful office in the world? And yet if it is good enough to elect Presidents, why is it not good enough to elect Senators and Members of Congress?

The fact of the matter is, Mr. President, every Senator knows this system stinks. Every Senator who participates in it knows this system stinks. And the American people are right when they mistrust this system, where what matters most in seeking public office is not integrity, not ability, not judgment, not reason, not responsibility, not experience, not intelligence, but money. We could have a candidate of the highest integrity, the highest intelligence, the most vast experience who can be overwhelmed by a tide of money by someone who has none of them. Money dominates this system. Money infuses the system. Money is the system. And our colleagues to score a few political points keep raising this argument about taxpayer money, which is not even true, even as they accept taxpayer money.

Mr. President, Members of the Senate, several of us are leaving. I will speak only for myself, but I believe it is true of everyone who is leaving. Others can speak for themselves. I will miss a great deal of the Senate. I will miss all of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle, friends of many years, people with whom I have worked closely. But I wish to say here and now, one thing I will not miss is the never- ending money chase in which we have all had to be engaged. Every single Senator knows deep within his heart and soul and mind exactly what I am talking about.

We had a chance here to do something about it. It was not -- I repeat, it was not -- a system intended to favor one party. It was a system to level the playing field between incumbents and challengers, to create a fair opportunity for competition, and that really is essentially the basis of the opposition. This is a case of incumbents protecting themselves, not wanting to give challengers a fair chance, wanting to accept the overwhelming advantages of incumbency.

Of course, in this election we are seeing there are other offsetting disadvantages of incumbency, and so the tendency is to rack up even more money, to exploit even more fully the advantage so as to offset those disadvantages.

I am very deeply disappointed, Mr. President, at this result -- very deeply disappointed. I am disappointed not just in those of our Republican colleagues who overwhelmingly voted against it -- 92 percent of them voted against it, while 90 percent of Democrats voted for it. I am disappointed in those Democrats who chose to vote against this measure on what I believe to be sorely mistaken and inadequate grounds. But the fact is that 90 percent of Democrats voted for it, 92 percent of Republicans voted against it. So it is very clear who favored it and who killed it. It is a very regrettable result.

This is, I believe, just a temporary setback. I think it is inevitable that there are going to be changes in this system, and I hope very much that those who remain and who have fought this battle so vigorously and with so much energy and effort over many years will continue the effort to create a situation where the American people can look at the Members of the Senate with pride and not with the embarrassment and the shame that so many feel now when they see this corrupting and corrosive system that exists, corrupting of the public trust in the Senate.

The fact is I believe that the overwhelming majority of Members of the Senate are men and women of integrity. They are not adversely influenced, as many believe. But the impression is there, and the impression is so deeply held and so strongly fed by the system and by the reports of it, that it is inevitable that it must change because I think public attitudes are going to get worse and worse and worse.

It is an irony, it is a huge and spectacular irony, that those who are opposed to changing this system in a way that will restore public trust are themselves seeking to become the beneficiaries of that public mistrust. The very people who want to keep this system which brings the institution of Congress into such disrepute are trying to be the beneficiaries of that disrepute -- tear down the institution so that we can inherit the rubble.

George J. Mitchell

That is what is happening here, and it is a very sad and tragic day for the Senate and for those who remain in the Senate. But I hope very much that our colleagues will persevere, that in time the American people will rise up in indignation and demand that this system be changed.

George J. Mitchell

I want to conclude by saying one word, finally. No matter how many times our colleagues say it, this is not a taxpayer-financed system. This system is financed by voluntary participation by taxpayers. No general taxpayer will be forced to pay anything to fund this system. The distinguished chairman, the Senator from Oklahoma, the author of this bill, will describe it in a little more detail I hope. But I just want to make sure every American understands that, that these statements made to the contrary are simply not true.

Mr. President, when Cineas was sent to Rome by Pyrrhus, the king of Epirus, laden with gifts to buy the Senators and Senators' wives, Cineas returned following his mission and reported to Pyrrhus that he had witnessed the Senate of Rome and that it was veritably "an assemblage of kings." This was in 280 B.C. There were no takers of his gifts.

Robert Byrd

About 170 years later, Gaius Sallustius Crispus, a Roman historian who lived between the years 86 and 34 B.C., wrote about the conspiracy of Catiline and also about the Jugurthine war which occurred between the years 112 and 105 B.C. Sallustius writes that when the Roman Senate ordered Jugurtha to leave Italy and to return to Africa, Jugurtha passed through the gates of Rome and looked back at the city several times in silence, and finally exclaimed: "Yonder is a city put up for sale, and its days are numbered if it finds a buyer." What a sad commentary upon Rome and the Roman Senate which had so changed after 170 years.

I am sorry to say it can also be said with respect to this institution. It is like property owned by the special interests. They hold title in fee simple to it -- a title that is vested in special interests.

Eight times, I tried to get cloture on campaign finance reform legislation when I was majority leader during the years 1987 and 1988. There were more cloture motions against that legislation at that time than ever were filed before or since, and I failed eight times to get cloture. And the current majority leader has tried many times, and he has failed.

Mr. President, until the American people understand that campaign finance reform is more important than any other reform and until, as the majority leader stated, they rise up in indignation and say they have had enough, then this institution will continue to be the property of the special interests. We all know it. And it is too bad that the American people just don't get it and realize it to be the case. They are the real losers.

It is clear that the effort for campaign finance reform this year is over. I would announce to my colleagues that we will make no effort to lodge another cloture motion in order to try to bring this bill to conference. I think it is a sad day for the political system.

This Congress was sent here by the American people to be the reform Congress. Throughout the last election, there was much discussion of reform. There were many pledges by Members of Congress on both sides of the Capitol and on both sides of the aisle that this would be the reform Congress. Now we run the risk that this Congress will adjourn, being known as the no reforms Congress except for a few largely cosmetic actions that do not affect the basic functioning of the political process.

We may pass a bill with provisions that prohibit us from taking gifts over minimal amounts. We have failed to pass a bill now that would affect the millions and hundreds of millions of dollars that flow into the political process that give the American people the impression that Congress is on the auction block because our politics will be dominated, as the majority leader said so well, not by quality of the candidates, not by the abilities of the candidates, but by which candidate is most successful in raising campaign funds.

It is a disappointment to me after 11 years of working on this legislation that we have come to this point. There have been many who have labored long and hard on both sides of the aisle to make this a reality, to bring about this change, including former Senator Goldwater and former Senator Stennis, who was the original author with me of the bill 11 years ago; including the President pro tempore, who just spoke a moment ago, who attempted through cloture votes to pass this legislation previously; including the majority leader, who will be retiring at the end of this session, who has fought valiantly for this effort in the course of the term of his leadership of this institution.

I see also on his feet the Senator from Vermont, Senator Jeffords, who I would say to my colleagues has been stalwart in this effort for campaign finance reform.

It has been an effort by concerned individuals on both sides of the aisle to bring about change. Today, we see this bill the victim of what I would call buzz word politics. If we say the right buzz words long enough and loud enough, perhaps you can succeed. We have heard all the buzz words here. We have heard the buzz words taxpayer financing. We have even heard that we were trying to pick the pockets of the American taxpayers to pay for campaign finance reform.

Mr. President, as the majority leader has said, not one single dollar of general taxpayer financing is in this bill. Not one single average American taxpayer is being asked to pay one single extra dollar in taxes to pay for cleaning up the political system.

Where does the money in the trust fund come from that would be used to induce candidates to accept spending limits? It comes, one, from voluntary contributions, absolutely voluntary contributions, if citizens want to add an additional contribution to their tax returns. It comes from additional charges on lobbyists, additional registration charges on lobbyists who try to seek to influence, who are paid to seek to influence legislation. It comes from higher registration fees on those who are agents of foreign powers, those who come here trying to represent the other interests of other countries, including the economic interests of other countries, to try to influence the Congress of the United States. It comes with increased reporting charges on political action committees, PAC's, that are usually formed to look after a particular economic interest. It comes from increased taxes on the investment income of political campaign committees of those candidates who refuse to accept spending limits, who want to have the right to take in all the money they can possibly take in from special interest groups.

Mr. President, do you think if you polled the American people that the American people would say we are going to rise up in arms because those who are paid to lobby for the economic interests of other countries, which sometimes are not the same as our own interests, that they are going to have to pay more to register to lobby, to be paid to lobby for foreign governments? I do not think so. But that is the buzz word that was used.

Then there was the buzz word entitlements, as if we were going to write checks to political candidates out of a fund financed the way I just described, whether there was money in it or not, added to the deficit, another entitlement.

Mr. President, anyone who bothers to read the bill knows that there was a separate trust fund set up; that if the money from the sources I have just talked about was not sufficient to pay the incentives for spending limits in this bill, then those incentives would have been reduced proportionately. There was no entitlement in this bill.

Then we were told incumbents cannot be trusted to write a campaign reform bill. Mr. President, incumbents wrote the present rules. The rules that we are now living under were written by incumbents. They were passed by both Houses of Congress, and no wonder they set up the current system. No wonder incumbents would want to keep the present system. The facts speak for themselves.

In the last election, incumbents, sitting Members of Congress, were able to raise five times as much money as challengers -- five times as much. Do you think incumbents would want to change the system to put spending limits in place when they can raise five times as much as new people trying to break into politics? The current rules were written by incumbents. They allowed political action committees to pour $10,000 into every election committee, for each political action committee, and the political action committees poured in $10 for incumbents for every $1 that they gave to challengers -- a 10-to-1 advantage.

Of course, incumbents wrote those rules. And that is why it is so difficult to get incumbents, the Members who are sitting here now, to vote to change it, because they have so much advantage, so much advantage in a system dominated by money when sitting Members of Congress have so much more power to raise money than the new people trying to break into the system.

So, Mr. President, what we have seen today is buzz word politics at its best using false words about taxpayer financing and entitlement and incumbent protection to present an image to the American people of this bill that is absolutely opposite from, in fact, what it would have provided.

Joe Biden

This is the question: In the time the Senator has been here, has he ever seen a circumstance where on the floor of the Senate -- on almost any bill, but this bill in particular -- where a Senator can stand up on the floor, criticize what is being proposed, and be the very recipient of the very thing he is criticizing? I think it is evident that the public and the press have already discounted this -- not this, but discounted this institution. Does the Senator ever recall when somebody can say, by the way, this is the public dole and the public trough and this is going to provide all this money for incumbents, and those persons have already accepted tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars from the same system?

Mr. President, if we want to know where we are in this country, I would recount, without using any names, a conversation I heard on the floor of the U.S. Senate a few days ago. I overheard two of my colleagues discussing a candidate. They said the candidate was trying to decide whether or not he wanted to spend the next 2 weeks campaigning, out telling the people of his State what he believed in, out discussing the issues, out listening to the people about what was on their minds, the problems they wanted solved, or whether he should spend that 2 weeks on the telephone raising money. Mr. President, both of my colleagues' advice was: If that candidate had any sense, he better spend the 2 weeks on the telephone raising money instead of out discussing the issues with the people or listening to the people.

Sadly, my two colleagues were right. They were right, because if that candidate wanted to have a chance, he has to understand that he is participating in a system in which money -- not what the people back home think, not the problems on their minds, not the ideas he or she has to present to the voters, but who can get the money to buy more of those 30-second television attack spots -- that is what is dominating elections.

So, Mr. President, I can only say this: We are playing Russian roulette with our system of Government, because when we allow a system to continue that so undermines the faith and confidence of the American people, that so clearly allows money to be the deciding factor, that shuts out the majority of Americans who do not have the financial means to write that $1,000 check, or that $5,000 or $10,000 PAC check, we are continuing to erode the confidence of people in their own Government.

I have to believe -- and I have faith and confidence in what the majority leader said -- that some day the system will be changed. He and I will not be here. We will both be leaving the Senate at the end of this session and trying to serve the public in other ways. But I know that one of these days -- and I hope we are both invited, along with others who have been part of this cause -- the President of the United States will sign a bill that will change this rotten and corrupt system. I hope we will be invited to be there for that bill signing. I know there will be others in this institution who will carry forward this fight and battle. It cannot be allowed to continue, nor should we allow it to continue. If we do, we further erode that trust and we erode the legitimacy of the system.

Mr. President, I would like to make an inquiry of Senator Boren. I listened to the majority leader and I agree with everything he said. I am one of the 8 percent he referred to who has been working hard here to try and get an agreement. I was discouraged to hear from the Senator from Oklahoma that the bill is dead. I would like to bring to his attention those things which I feel would have to be modified in order to reach the agreement that the six or seven of us had to vote for cloture. I would like to comment, and then get your comment, as to whether or not it would be foreseeable to try to get those changes in the time we have left.

I commend the Senator for the tremendous work he has done. I have enjoyed working with him. The elements that we have concern about are basically as follows: First of all, the reduction of the PAC limits. The Democrats in the House, who have been holding this process up, came down in their limit. They came down from a $10,000 to a $6,000 total limit for the election cycle. That is not even halfway from where we started. I would hope they would agree to come down at least another $1,000. The more difficult part of the PAC aspect relates to the differences between the House and Senate limits, regarding what percentage of the total money can be used within the spending limits. It is 20 percent for the Senate in PAC's and 40 percent for the House. This is in violation of the guideline that we had. They had to be the same.

The frank is another area where there is a difference which creates difficulties on this side. As far as the Senate is concerned, we would have no frank during the election period, whereas, in the House there is no agreement on this issue. These are, I think, the major areas of concern. I am perhaps an incurable optimist, but I hate to give up. I would like to inquire as to whether or not it would be conceivable that we could get adjustments in these areas so that we could perhaps get back together again on cloture.

I thank the Senator from Vermont. Mr. President, I would have to say to the Senator, in all honesty, we have pursued negotiations over a long period of time, and let me say that the minority leader commented that, as far as he knew, there has been no consultations with those on the other side of the aisle, the seven who had voted previously to push this legislation forward. I want to say that we have had consultations. I personally have had consultations with every single person as we have gone through the process -- certainly, as the Senator knows, with him individually on several occasions.

It was not my purpose, in any way, to pass a bill to seek partisan advantage for this side of the aisle or the other side, but to be evenhanded. And we have had very fine cooperation from several individuals, including the Senator from Vermont, on the other side of the aisle.

We pushed very hard for all of the points that were raised in the letter, from those on the Republican side of the aisle who voted to send this bill forward. We succeeded to some degree -- not to every degree, but to some degree. We did get the amount of PAC spending that could go to candidates reduced, as the Senator said, from $10,000 to $6,000. I wish we could have gotten it reduced much further. We did succeed in keeping the McCain amendment, which made certain that campaign funds would not be used for personal use.

We did make a great deal of progress on nonparty soft money, along the lines suggested by the Senator from Vermont, requiring that when nonparty groups are utilizing soft money to influence elections, that soft money has to be disclosed -- within 20 days of the election -- every 24 hours. We made some progress on further curtailing mass mailings and misuse of the frank in elections, although there were some differences -- the Senator is right -- and there were differences on the aggregate amount of PAC money that could be accepted.

The final result in the House was one-third, 33 percent. We did not get down to 20 percent. We did bring it down some. We got it down to 33 percent.

I just say to my colleague that we did the best that we could. I believe we had a bill that still with its shortcomings, and there were shortcomings, and I think the Senator from Vermont has enumerated some of those shortcomings, I think it is still well worth passing.

I do not believe at this point and given the procedural situation where we have a postcloture filibuster of 30 hours even if we get cloture -- we failed to get cloture today -- I think given that circumstance the majority leader pointed out this is the first time in 210 years in the history of this institution that this tactic has been used of filibustering the motion to even go to conference, the motion to even try to sit down with the House and form a bill.

So it is clear, I believe, at this late hour and in this Congress with the tactics that have been employed, and undoubtedly will continue to be employed by some who opposed this bill, we would have time for additional negotiations.

I know my colleague will be returning to the Senate. I hope that he will continue his effort for a bipartisan solution. I hope that others on his side of the aisle will join him. I hope there will be those on this side of the aisle who have been for this provision in the past for major reform will continue this.

Let me conclude, Mr. President, by saying to the Senator from Vermont that it has been a personal privilege for me to have served with him as a Member of the U.S. Senate. I have talked very often about the need to set aside partisanship. I have said on some occasions I wish I could speak from the center of the aisle because if there is any affliction along the way we finance campaigns that I think is undermining our political process it is that all too often we think of ourselves, first, as Republicans or Democrats and then, second, as Americans. We have it mixed up.

Let me say that among those Members of the Senate who have worked the hardest to present themselves as Americans who have worked in a bipartisan spirit for genuine and basic reform, the Senator from Vermont stands in that group for which I have the greatest admiration. The people of Vermont are very fortunate to have such a Senator representing them, and I have the utmost respect for him.

I simply want to say in this public forum there has been no one on either side of the aisle during my time of working on the issue of campaign finance reform that has worked harder or more sincerely or with more dedication and determination for this effort than has the Senator from Vermont.
