John Glenn

Mr. President, I rise today to speak about some of the events on the floor here over the last couple of days. I think perhaps sometimes we need a different yardstick by which to judge some of these votes.

John Glenn

We have now in effect, I guess, unless this campaign finance legislation is hooked onto some other legislation as we go ahead with our legislative activities of this year, that it is probably dead for this year. I hate to say that. I want to give a speech on some of the outcome of our campaign finance reform hearings that have been taking place in the Governmental Affairs Committee most of last year. I was unable to get over and give this at the appropriate time before the votes that we have had but still want to talk about this a little bit.

John Glenn

I think sometimes on controversial votes, which these are, that there is a different basis that we should be looking at instead of just the party line, just party loyalty and voting down the line with those party leaders who have a particular view. Those views, too often, affect just the political interests of the amendment. How much money are we going to be able to get for this next election? That is the basis on which votes seem to occur. That is a very short-term view of things.

John Glenn

Now, on some of these controversial votes I think there is another way to decide. It is what I call the "grandchild test" -- the "grandchild test." What you should do on some of these votes, I think, is think of what you would like the ideal political system to be when your grandchildren have grown up and long after most of us will have left the Senate of the United States. What kind of law do you want to see in place that deals with them fairly? What kind of law do you want to see in place that makes them feel that their voice is heard in Government as much as those who can contribute millions or at least hundreds of thousands of dollars worth, to get their voices heard? This may be after Democrats have reclaimed the Senate and the House and there is a Republican President. Who knows what the future situation may be.

John Glenn

But a "grandchild test" puts it on a little different basis, it seems to me. Do we want a system that is dominated by interests that may not favor your heirs, your children, your grandchildren? Do we want them to have to contribute hundreds of thousands of dollars to have their voice heard, to be treated fairly?

John Glenn

So the votes we have had over the past few days involve a matter of fairness, plain old fairness. In other words, fairness for all in our political system into the future. That is what the vote on McCain- Feingold was all about. Unfortunately, we cannot muster enough votes to overcome cloture. Although we had a majority of the U.S. Senate, the majority did not prevail because of the cloture that we would have been required to get to break a filibuster.

John Glenn

Mr. President, I welcome the opportunity to discuss the legislation today, the legislation we passed, because over the past year I have had the privilege of serving as the ranking member of the committee on Governmental Affairs' investigation into campaign finance. In the course of the investigation I have come to understand that the existing campaign finance system is in shreds.

Campaign finance reform is no longer something that I feel should be delayed, as we have delayed it by the votes of the last couple of days. I think it is absolutely crucial that at the earliest time we pass legislation addressing the worst abuses, if we can hope to maintain the integrity of our electoral process and the confidence of the American public. Over the course of my Senate career, I watched as public cynicism about Government has increased and trust in Government has declined. In 1996 for the first time, less than half the people in this country eligible to vote cast a ballot.

To those who argue that the public doesn't care about campaign finance, it is clear from national polls that the public does care. Polls show that while over 70 percent of Americans want campaign finance reform, only 30 percent have believed it will happen. Three out of four people interviewed do not trust us in Washington to do what is right. That is three-quarters of the American people do not trust us to do what is right. What an indictment of our activities here in the Congress.

I can't think of a better way to halt that kind of cynicism than by doing the unexpected and passing campaign finance reform and by fixing the system that breeds the cynicism and undermines public confidence. Poll after poll has shown the biggest single factor in lack of public trust in Government is the campaign finance system. I want to express my appreciate to Senators McCain and Feingold for their leadership on this issue. Their bipartisan cooperation has pointed us in the right direction. I hope we can follow their example and pass this legislation, hopefully even later this year. I hope they will take the opportunity on later legislation to attach this legislation on to it as an amendment and we will have some more votes on this, perhaps with a different outcome.

We have a unique opportunity if we pass campaign finance legislation to restore faith in our American system and renew our commitment to the concept of Government for all of the people, all of the time -- not a system where access to elected leaders is meted out according to campaign dollars received. That is exactly what we have now.

The legislation that we have had before us over the past few days takes key steps to correct the two worst problems, the proliferation of huge amounts of soft money and the explosion of calculated issue advertising which exists outside the reach of existing laws simply because it avoids a key term such as "vote for" or "defeat." But the proliferation of issue advocacy candidates are becoming footnotes in their own campaigns struggling to conduct substantive debates on issues of local importance against the din of millions of dollars of issue advertising by national interest groups.

One has only to look to the campaign to replace recently deceased House Member Walter Capps taking place in Santa Barbara, CA, to understand the significance of this problem. Just last weekend, the Washington Post carried an article about this campaign which noted that while the candidates tried to focus on education and fiscal issues, hundreds of thousands of dollars were spent by national groups airing ads on term limits and abortion, issues which both candidates agree are high among voter concerns in the district but which have drowned out the candidates' own attempts to focus on issues of concern in their district.

Almost every abuse examined in the course of the Governmental Affairs Committee investigation has its roots in the proliferation of soft money and of calculated political issue ads. For that reason, I want to say something about the recent Governmental Affairs Committee investigation from the minority's perspective and how it reflects on the committee's debate.

The founders of this country envisioned that American political discourse would be based on the power of ideas, not money, and that our elected representatives would be chosen by the principles for which they stand, not the amount of money they raise.

Unfortunately, elected officials in the United States have become so dependent on political contributions from wealthy donors that the democratic principles underlying our Government are at risk. We face the danger of becoming a Government of the rich, by the rich, and for the rich. We face the danger because candidates for Congress and the Presidency spent over $1 billion on their 1996 election activities, according to an estimate by the Annenberg Public Policy Center. In order to raise that enormous quantity of money, some candidates and party officials push the campaign finance to the breaking point and some pushed it beyond. The abuses that occurred during the 1996 election exposed the dark side of our political system and underscored the critical need for campaign finance reform, as well as the need to enhance the ability of the Federal Election Commission to enforce campaign finance laws, which I will speak about later.

On March 11, 1997, the Senate voted unanimously to authorize the Governmental Affairs Committee to conduct an investigation of illegal and improper activities in connection with the 1996 Federal election campaigns. The Senate asked the committee to conduct a bipartisan investigation, one that would explore allegations of improper campaign finance activities "by all, Republicans, Democrats, or other political partisans." Now this was a noble goal and there were widespread hopes that the committee would conduct a serious, bipartisan investigation, one that would investigate allegations of abuses by candidates and others aligned with both major political parties. In the end, however, the committee's investigation provided insight into the failings of the campaign finance system, but it certainly did not live up to its potential.

Now the minority regrets the failure of the committee to expose the ways in which both political parties have pushed and exceeded the limits of our campaign finance system. Both parties have openly offered access in exchange for contributions. Both parties have been lax in accepting illegal or improper contributions. Both parties have become slaves to the raising and spending of soft money.

We heard from fundraisers, from donors, from party officials, from lobbyists, from candidates, and from government officials. We heard from a man, Roger Tamraz, a contributor to both parties. He admitted making 1996 campaign contributions for one reason -- he wanted to obtain access to events held in the White House, period. He was willing to contribute hundreds of thousands of dollars to worm his way in there. In another instance, Buddhist Temple officials admitted reimbursing monastics for making campaign contributions at the temple's direction. Also, a wealthy Hong Kong businessman hosted the chairman of the Republican National Committee on a yacht in Hong Kong Harbor and provided $2 million in collateral for a loan used to help elect Republican candidates to office.

Most of these cases when there was questionable foreign money, most of it was given back by Democrats and Republicans both. And there was a lot on the Democratic side; I certainly don't deny that. As soon as the taint was there, the money was given back. But not in this case. The debt of $800,000 still has not been paid back. This example remains the best single, completely documented example of foreign money really being solicited and used in the 1996 campaign of anything that the committee looked at the whole year, Democrat or Republican.

John Glenn

The Committee's investigation exposed these and other incidents that ranged from the exemplary, to the troubling, to the possibly illegal. But investigations undertaken by the U.S. Senate are not law enforcement efforts designed to arrive at judgments about whether particular persons should be charged with civil or criminal wrongdoing, but, by Constitutional design, are inquiries whose primary purpose must be "in aid of the legislative function." Accordingly, the most important outcome of the Committee's investigation is the compilation of evidence demonstrating that the most serious problems uncovered in connection with the 1996 election involve conduct which should be, but is not now, prohibited by law. Or as Senator Levin has put it, the evidence shows that the bulk of the campaign finance problem is not what is illegal, but what is legal.

John Glenn

In our democracy, power is ultimately to be derived from the people -- the voters. In theory, every voter is equal; the reality is that some voters, to borrow George Orwell's phrase, are "more equal than others." No one can deny that individuals who contribute substantial sums of money to candidates are likely to have more access to elected officials. And most of us think greater access brings greater influence. It was this concern over linkages between money, access and influence -- amid allegations that Richard Nixon's 1968 and 1972 presidential campaigns accepted individual contributions of hundreds of thousands, even millions, of dollars -- that spurred Congress to enact the original campaign finance laws. While those laws have evolved over the 20 years since that time, the goals have remained the same: to prevent wealthy private interests from exercising disproportionate influence over the government, to deter corruption, and to inform voters.

Violations of the law's contribution limits and disclosure requirements have occurred since they were first enacted over twenty years ago. For example, corporations and foreign nationals prohibited from making direct campaign contributions have laundered money through persons eligible to contribute. Donors who have reached their legal contribution limit have channeled additional campaign contributions through relatives, friends, or employees. Indeed, the investigation of the 1996 elections was triggered by suspected foreign contributions to the Democratic Party allegedly solicited by Democratic National Committee ("DNC") fundraiser John Huang. Indictments and convictions have emerged involving contributors to both parties, including Charlie Trie, Maria Hsia and the Lum family on the Democratic side, and Simon Fireman, vice chair of finance of Senator Dole's presidential campaign, and corporate contributors to the campaigns of Representative Jay Kim of California on the Republican side.

The most elaborate scheme investigated by the Committee involved a $2 million loan that was backed by a Hong Kong businessman, routed through a U.S. subsidiary, and resulted in a large transfer of foreign funds to the Republican Party.

I am not trying to hit the Republican Party harder than the Democrats. There was plenty of wrongdoing on both sides. That is the point. The point is that we need changes in the law.

While the Committee's investigation uncovered disturbing information about the role of foreign money in the 1996 elections, the evidence also shows that illegal foreign contributions played a much less important role in the 1996 election than once suspected and was discussed quite widely in the media. Whether judged by the number of contributions or the total dollar amount, only a small fraction of the funds raised by either Democrats or Republicans came from foreign sources.

The committee obtained no evidence that funds from a foreign government influenced the outcome of any election. It was alleged that they might have affected the outcome of the 1996 Presidential election. There is nothing, either in the documentation from intelligence sources or in the briefings we received, that could document that.

The Committee's examination of foreign money brought to light an array of fundraising practices used by both parties that, while not technical violations of the campaign finance laws, expose fundamental flaws in the existing legal and regulatory system. The two principal problems involve soft money and issue advocacy.

It is beyond question that raising soft money and broadcasting issue ads are not, in themselves, unlawful. The evidence suggests that much of what the parties and candidates did during the 1996 elections was within the letter of the law. But no one can seriously argue that it is consistent with the spirit of the campaign finance laws for parties to accept contributions of hundreds of thousands -- even millions -- of dollars, or for corporations, unions and others to air candidate attack ads without being required to meet any of the federal election law requirements for contribution limits and public disclosure.

The evidence indicates that the soft-money loophole is fueling many of the campaign abuses investigated by the Committee. It is precisely because parties are allowed to collect large, individual soft-money donations that fundraisers are tempted to cultivate big donors by, for example, providing them and their guests with unusual access to public officials. In 1996, the soft-money loophole provided the funds both parties used to pay for televised ads. Soft money also supplied the funds parties used to make contributions to tax-exempt groups, which in turn used the funds to pay for election-related activities. The Minority Report details, in several instances, how the Republican National Committee deliberately channeled funds from party coffers and Republican donors to ostensibly "independent" groups which then used the money to conduct "issue advocacy" efforts on behalf of Republican candidates.

Together, the soft-money and issue-advocacy loopholes have eviscerated the contribution limits and disclosure requirements in federal election laws and caused a loss of public confidence in the integrity of our campaign finance system. By inviting corruption of the electoral process, they threaten our democracy. If these and other systemic problems are not solved, the abuses witnessed by the American people in 1996 will be repeated in future election cycles.

This will be only the beginning. All that will change will be the names, the dates, and the details, and the amounts will go up. We know that. As I said starting out, do you want your children or grandchildren to grow up in a system where their voices may not be heard in all of the venues of government because someone else bought their way in and has a bigger claim on the legislators' future than does your child or grandchild?

John Glenn

The federal campaign finance laws provide that candidates should finance their campaigns with so-called "hard dollars" -- contributions received in relatively small dollar amounts from individual donors and political action committees. Soft money -- which can be donated by individuals, corporations and unions and in unlimited amounts -- is not supposed to be spent on behalf of individual candidates. And yet it is: Tens of millions of soft dollars are raised by the parties and spent, through such devices as "issue advocacy" ads, for the benefit of candidates. The soft money loophole undermines the campaign finance laws by enabling wealthy private interests to channel enormous amounts of money into political campaigns. Most of the dubious or illegal contributions that were examined by the Committee involved soft money.

The Committee's investigation also showed that the legal distinction between "issue ads" and "candidate ads" has proved to be largely meaningless. The result has been that millions of dollars, which otherwise would have been kept out of the election process, were infused into campaigns obliquely, surreptitiously, and possibly at times illegally.

The issue of soft money abuses is inevitably tied to the question of how access to political figures is obtained through large contributions of soft money. It is also tied to the question of how tax-exempt organizations have been used to hide the identities of soft money donors. A system that permits large contributions to be made for partisan purposes, without public disclosure, invites subversion of the intent of our election law limitations.

Despite a highly partisan investigation, the Committee has built a record of campaign fundraising abuses by both Democrats and Republicans. This record will hopefully be useful to the Federal Election Commission, the Internal Revenue Service and to the Department of Justice as they investigate the 1996 campaign. Most importantly, the Committee's investigation should spur much-needed reform of the campaign finance laws and strengthening of the Federal Election Commission. Congress should provide the Federal Election Commission with the necessary resources to significantly enhance its investigative and enforcement staff. Ultimately, the most important lesson the Committee learned is that the abuses uncovered are part of a systemic problem, and that the system that encourages and permits these abuses must be reformed not now, as a result of the legislative votes that we have had the last couple of days, sometime, and hopefully in the very near future.

The McCain-Feingold legislation that we are considering here today goes a long way to address these abuses. The bill rids the system of soft money, and brings "issue advertising" funded by corporate and union interests within the campaign finance system. The legislation also takes great strides towards creating a more vigorous enforcement mechanism in the Federal Election Commission.

Anyone who observed even an hour of the Governmental Affairs Committee's hearings in the campaign finance investigation over the past year, can have no doubt that the explosion of soft money, huge amounts received from corporations, unions, and individuals, has undermined the campaign finance system to the point where it does not work.

It is not fair for all of our people -- which should be the objective, making our Government and its laws fair to all of our people -- because the trend has become to give special influence to more and more of the special interests across Government, in the executive branch and in the legislative branch right here on Capitol Hill. This is where Congress makes the laws of this land. We didn't even look into congressional activities during this series of hearings.

The investigation revealed situations where contributors like Roger Tamraz openly used soft money contributions to buy the access to executive branch officials that he thought placed him in an equal position with his business competitors. It revealed situations where huge contributions, possibly from abroad were laundered through legal residents of this country. Without soft money these abuses would not have occurred.

In the initial debate on campaign finance legislation, and in subsequent debates, we have heated discussions about whether it is appropriate to allow contributions of $1,000 vs $5,000. Yet today we are talking about a single contribution totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars. Mr. President I am hopeful that this body can join together in recognizing that individuals and organizations are using these contributions to gain access for their own limited and narrow purpose, and this unrestrained seeking of access is unhealthy for our democracy.

The investigation also showed instances where parties in their thirst for soft money solicited foreign funds, then used the proceeds to fund get out the vote activities in 20 states. Without soft money, these funds would never have been solicited and would not have made their way into U.S. elections.

The ready availability soft money combined with the national party's ability to air so called "issue ads" also resulted in an explosion of advertising which clearly benefitted both party's Presidential candidates. This apparently legal activity will be halted if we simply act to get rid of the soft money that is raised to pay for these ads.

As an example, the other day on the floor here, the comments were made about how the President participated in issue ads and so on, and was active in determining what was going out and so on. Much was made of that. But I would like to give the other side of that, which was not brought out on the floor the other day, too. This is not to justify both of them, this is just to say both of them, I think, should be corrected.

But, as an example, in the 1996 election, both the DNC and the RNC spent millions of dollars airing advertising that promoted their Presidential candidates. This advertising was paid for with mostly soft money. A review of some of the evidence gathered in the course of the report highlights the problem that parties use soft money to pay for advertising intended to help their candidates. Now, I don't deny some of the charges made against the Democratic National Committee. But, like the similar DNC advertising campaign:

I offer this example not to suggest that these activities were illegal. In fact this activity -- and virtually identical activity was carried out by the DNC and the Clinton campaign -- were most likely legal. However, this sort of advertising would not happen without the soft money to air it. If the soft money spigot is shut off, candidates and parties would once again be limited to using contributions raised in small increments, which was the intent of the law.

If we fail to act in coming years we will probably see millions of dollars in so-called issue ads not only to help the Presidential candidates but also to help House and Senate candidates, all financed with soft money -- a complete by-passing of the intent of election laws that are supposed to protect every single person in this country.

John Glenn

An organization called the Economic Education trust, which seems to exist only as a bank account, hired its own political consultants, planned its own advertising campaign, then "shopped" for suitable nonprofit organizations to funnel the money for the ad campaign through. The trust spent millions of dollars on ads and mailings attacking candidates nationwide, including candidates in state races, without voters being aware of their existence.

The proposals for addressing such activity are carefully drafted to protect the First Amendment right of voters to engage in political speech. The proposed legislation does not prevent any individual or organization from paying for communications but simply requires disclosure and compliance with contribution limits that govern other organizations. It is a shame we could not get that legislation through in the last couple of days.

Let me talk about the FEC. I think that we can all agree that it doesn't matter how good a law you have, it has to be actively and vigorously enforced. Last fall the Governmental Affairs Committee devoted two weeks of hearing time to experts on campaign finance. Among the witnesses who testified before the Committee were former Federal Election Commission Commissioner Trevor Potter and current General Counsel Larry Noble. Along with other witnesses, their testimony revealed a agency unable to begin to deal with the mammoth task before it. The agency does not have the resources it needs to enforce existing laws. The FEC also does not have the ability to act quickly and effectively in response to complaints.

The lack of resources the agency receives from Congress almost guarantees that the agency will fail in its efforts to uncover violations of the law in a timely manner.

John Glenn

In testimony before the Committee on Governmental Affairs, Norm Ornstein testified that he thought, it was his opinion -- and I don't think it was a studied opinion, but it was his estimate when asked a question -- that it would take at least $50 million, almost twice what the FEC currently receives, and that might begin to give the agency the resources it needs.

John Glenn

To cover all of our election laws, there are approximately 30 lawyers on the FEC legal staff who investigate violations of the election laws. Those 30 lawyers don't really go out and do field investigations. Mainly, they may take some depositions and a few things like that; but they are not really trained investigators as such. Less than 10 additional lawyers comprise the entire litigation staff, which argues in court. And amazingly, until 1994 the commission had no investigators.

No investigators, and then they had one investigator. And it was pointed out during our hearings, they just recently, last year during our hearings, doubled the size of their investigative staff. A 100 percent increase -- that got them up to 2 investigators. There were two investigators to go out and investigate complaints all across this country, as to what was going on.

John Glenn

The Majority staff of 25 lawyers alone was almost equal to the entire FEC investigative staff. The Committee also had 8 FBI agents detailed to help in its investigation, as well as two investigators from the General Accounting Office and 4 investigators on the staffs. Yet when the FEC specifically asked Congress for the resources to hire more staff to deal with cases stemming from the 1996 elections, Congress specifically precluded the agency from hiring more staff. They wrote into law they could not hire more staff. Can we imagine anything more shortsighted than that?

The FEC must fight for every penny it receives. For example, in fiscal 1995, the FEC had over 10% of budget rescinded half way through the fiscal year, the largest percentage agency recision government wide.

That is just deliberately hamstringing the organization that is supposed to be enforcing our election laws, and Congress does that deliberately. Why? Well, you'll have to answer that in your own mind.

The agency is also burdened by cumbersome procedures, which I believe the legislation before us today makes a good start at addressing. For example the FEC does not have the ability to seek an injunction that would halt illegal activity before the election was held. The FEC also cannot require electronic filing of disclosure reports that would soon permit every Internet user to see how much their local candidates had raised and spent and from whom. The FEC also lacks the ability to randomly audit campaigns to ensure compliance with the law. These reforms contained in the McCain-Feingold proposal will help the FEC to become a more vigorous deterrent to abusing the campaign finance system.

Many of the proposals set forth in McCain-Feingold are also contained in the recommendations of the Governmental Affairs Committee's forthcoming report. The Minority, in its forthcoming report makes the following recommendations that can be enacted with passage of this legislation. We recommend that we eliminate soft money: Eliminating unrestricted contributions to political parties from individuals, corporations and unions is the most important step towards reducing the influence of money in the campaign finance system.

Another one, address issue advocacy: A soft money ban, however fundamental to reform, must be coupled with reforms addressing candidate advertisements masquerading as issue ads. A provision that requires any communication that mentions a federal candidate within 60 days of a general election to comply with disclosure requirements and restrictions on the use of union and corporate funds would not prevent or ban any advertisement but would bring all political ads within the campaign finance system.

We need to give the Federal Election Commission the resources it needs to do its job. Any reform, from the most modest improvements in disclosure to the most comprehensive revision of campaign financing, will not be complete if the agency charged with enforcing the law lacks the resources to do so.

Improve public disclosure and mandate electronic filing for all candidates and political committees to speed the disclosure process and allow more disclosure to voters. Those would have been covered within the McCain-Feingold legislation. In addition to what was provided in that bill, however, we should enact, with passage of this legislation, some other things. The Minority report also recommends that whenever possible we do several things In addition to giving the FEC additional authority in general, as mentioned above, the minority also recommends several specific changes. No. 1: Increase the size of the Commission to an odd number of commissioners to avoid deadlock. Then we should grant the Commission the power to seek injunctions in Federal court. We should streamline the process for initiating investigations by eliminating requirements for a formal Commission vote, and formal finding that a violation occurred. And we should also permit the Commission to assess automatic fines for late disclosure reports.

We should reduce the costs of campaigns. During the 1996 campaign, federal candidates spent $400 million on television advertising. Congress should consider mandating some free time from broadcasters as one way to decrease the amount candidates buy and parties are required to spend to get out their message.

We should also clarify and strengthen applicable tax law. Tax exempt organizations have become increasingly influential in federal elections, while operating under legal requirements that provide insufficient guidance on permissible campaign activity and disclosure obligations.

This next one is a very important one also. We should consider requiring the IRS to approve or disapprove all applications for tax- exempt status within 1 year and require that an application for exempt status be approved before an organization may hold itself out as tax exempt.

What is done now is exactly what was done with the National Policy Forum, an arm of the Republican National Committee, and was involved with the transfer of Hong Kong money through a loan guarantee that got money that I mentioned earlier. What happened there was that the National Policy Forum filed for 501(c) status and then advertised itself as being a tax-exempt organization even though the approval had not been granted yet by the IRS.

That is not unusual. Let me say on behalf of NPF and those who were involved with it at that time, it is not unusual when you file, you say you have filed and so you presume you are going to be a 501(c) organization and have tax-exempt status for anyone who makes a contribution pursuant to that status.

What happened was, the IRS came back later on and said the NPF was not valid as an organization, did not rate the tax-exempt status that the 501(c) would have carried with it. So they disapproved that, but that disapproval came at least 3 or 3\1/2\ years after the application was made. I do not believe any organization, whether it is for regular tax-exempt charities or political or any other organization, should be able to advertise itself as a tax-exempt organization until it has the ruling from the IRS.

These recommendations are directed at improving the system for everyone. The legislation we have had before us the last few days is also about improving our system. I didn't think that this was partisan legislation, but it certainly came out that way. The net effect of enacting these reforms would be to reduce the amount of money spent on campaigns and to have all players in the political system abide by the same rules.

In closing, I want to make one final point. Since 1976 I have supported public financing of campaigns, and it seems to me that it is a worthy use of Public Treasury funds to ensure that we have clean money and clean elections. The erosion of public confidence that I have witnessed can only be offset by taking the steps necessary to clean up our campaign finance system and renew the public trust in elected officials.

Let me say this. Sometimes I think the States get out ahead of the Federal Government in taking action that is necessary to clean up certain things within our system of Government. Maine has taken the lead now, of course, in doing exactly that with regard to campaign finance. It is my understanding some 12 other States are looking into financing candidates' races in the general election in State races, or at least a major portion of that funding that is required.

I believe that would improve our system of Government. I also believe that if we could have faith restored in our system by having taxpayer money that represents all interests of this country equally, and get back to having the Government represent all the people all the time, and not part of the time for all the people, and some of the time for the special interests who have bought their way in, that it would be the biggest value we have had in a long time.

John Glenn

So I wholeheartedly supported the bipartisan McCain-Feingold bill that was before us. I believe it is just a first step. Eventually, Mr. President, I believe the answer to our concern is to eliminate the role of private money in campaigns. I think we should allow campaigns to be fairly and equally underwritten by all Americans through some form of publicly supported finance. That is the purpose of Government, to represent every American, not a favored few.

Only when we have public financing do I believe we will be able to assure that loopholes will not develop and that special interests will not find new ways to bend the system to their own ends.

John Glenn

As I sat in on months of hearings on our campaign system, I became more thoroughly convinced that only when we turn to a public system of financing campaigns will we fully solve the problems of campaign finance. That is why I joined with my colleagues, Senator Kerry of Massachusetts and Senator Wellstone of Minnesota, in cosponsoring a bill called the Clean Money Clean Campaign Act. It is based on the Maine plan and those 12 other States who are looking at it, to limit campaign spending, to prohibit special interest contributions, to eliminate fundraising efforts, to provide equal funding and a level playing field for all candidates and end the loopholes that have wrecked our current system.

Through a publicly funded system, we can end the current abuse and establish a system that takes us back to our major responsibility, which is representing the interests of all the people all the time. I think that would go farther to clean up the system, restore faith and credibility in Government, and I think would be the biggest bargain the American public has had in a long time.

If you look at it another way, money comes out of our economy some way into politics. Now it is dollars for access. Too large a percentage of the money comes in from special interests looking for special treatment. With better financing, we would then fairly represent everyone. It would be nice to have people believe all of us are working all the time for the greatest benefit for all of our people. I think that would go a long way to reducing the cynicism, the apathy, the lack of interest, the lack of trust, the lack of danger that it represents, because when people feel too threatened, they will also feel that they want to split off into smaller self-protective groups to have their voice heard in some council of Government, which was something that was to be necessary if a democracy was to survive, as Thomas Jefferson said.

We don't want to see that. We think the two parties have represented our country well throughout our history, and we want to see these parties continue and not be siphoned off or not have their members siphoned off into smaller and smaller self-protective groups.

I recognize fully the time probably has not yet come to move to Federal financing, but I believe the more the American people focus on the current system and its exploding abuses, the more likely it will be that the support will grow for such a change.

So I would have liked to have seen us, over the past few days, pass the McCain-Feingold legislation that was before us, because I feel the situation is critical. We face elections in this country in less than 8 months in which the loopholes ripped open in 1996 will result in an even greater flood of legal but improper activity into the system as each party tries to elect their chosen candidates and the candidates battle to be heard against the flood of issue advertising.

John Glenn

Mr. President, I want to close by repeating some of the thoughts I opened my remarks with. These votes are controversial votes. They too often split just along party lines and party loyalty on the basis of what will enable one group or another to raise the most money for this particular election. But I think there is another way to decide on this. It is another test that I label the "grandchildren test," the "grandchild test." What do we want our political system to be in the future in this country? Do we want our system to be a system that increasingly represents the few, the big interests able to put millions of dollars into a campaign, represents only the wealthy that can buy their way in by responding to ads that say that you will get to meet with the committee chairman of your choice if you make a certain large contribution, and down at the bottom it says, "Benefits upon receipt"? Is that the kind of system we really want for our children and our grandchildren in the future?

I think I would much rather have an ideal political system in which our children and our grandchildren have a great faith in Government, that their interests are being represented most by their elected officials. I don't think we want a system dominated by interests that may not favor your own children or grandchildren. I don't want my grandchildren to think that they have to contribute thousands, not just thousands, but hundreds of thousands or maybe even millions of dollars, if they ever have that much money, to have their voice heard in Government in a democracy such as ours.

So we have had votes over the past few days that, to me, were votes very simply on fairness -- fairness that we have a commitment in this Senate to making certain that all of our people are treated fairly all of the time. That was what these votes were all about.

I encourage Senator McCain and Senator Feingold to bring that legislation back to the floor again later this year. Maybe we can try again. Sometimes legislation that is important for the future of the country needs a number of votes before we finally get it through. I think this is an issue whose time has come, and it is an issue that is going to be critical if we are going to erase some of the cynicism and apathy toward Government that abounds too much in this country, particularly among our young people.

That, to me, is the hazard of going on with this. I don't think this Nation of ours is ever going to be taken over by the likes of Russia, China, North Korea or any combination of nations around this world. I do worry about the future of our democracy when we have people, particularly our young people, who are so apathetic toward politics and Government that they don't want any part of it, wouldn't think of running for public office, don't want to get into a dirty thing like political races, wouldn't think of going out and trying to raise money to help our political parties get messages across.

We have to erase that if we are to have the democracy that is our future, because our country can go downhill from that just as fast as it can from other adversaries that might have more military power but would not be able to take this country over.

I also want to recognize Beth Stein, who is with me here today, who has worked so long and hard on this, who has had a long experience at the FEC and contributed so much to our hearings this year and last year in trying to make sure we have a way to the future that is good for all of our people. I thank her for her efforts, and also all the committee members who worked so hard on this through the year.
