Robert Torricelli

Mr. President, the Senate now turns its attention to what is the other half of the campaign finance problem. It is, after all, not simply what is raised but why money is raised and where it is going.

Robert Torricelli

This Senate, for 5 years, has had to overcome four filibusters to get us to this moment in considering campaign finance reform. We have voted on 113 occasions to reform the campaign finance laws. We have considered 300 pieces of legislation, heard 3,000 speeches, and filled 6,000 pages of the Congressional Record. But none of this will mean anything, this legislation will accomplish no more than leading to a less informed public with less political dialog, if we do not complement the reduction in fundraising with more availability of information by reducing the cost.

Robert Torricelli

The McCain-Feingold legislation, as written, will not abate the expense of running for political office. It could, if not amended, simply lead to an American public, as Senator McConnell has said many times, that is less informed with less political speech. I know no one in the country who believes that is the kind of reform we genuinely seek.

There is a perception in the media and in the public that the entire problem of campaign financing is the amount of money. That is a problem, but it is not the only problem. Members of this institution know that an equal burden that must be addressed is the amount of time Senators and Members of the House of Representatives are taken away from their legislative responsibilities, not meeting with ordinary citizens, to cater to the wealthy to gain access to this money.

On the chart on my left, I have taken a State at random, New Jersey, and given an indication of what it takes in time to run what all future Senate campaigns in New Jersey probably will cost -- a minimum of $15 million. This would require, under current campaign finance laws, raising $20,833 every day 7 days a week for 2 years, or 150 fundraising events, each raising $100,000, or 1,500 events at $10,000 per event, 1,500 fundraisers at $10,000.

We can make it more difficult to raise the money. We can eliminate soft money. The question remains: Are we simply adding to the burden of how much time candidates must spend doing that? If we are eliminating categories of money, making it more difficult to get the $15 million, all we could be doing is adding to that time which candidates must spend finding it. That will not be an achievement. That is why today we are dealing with the other half of the equation -- not what is raised but how much is spent.

The 2000 elections provide an illustration. Common Cause estimates that the 2000 elections cost $3 billion. This is a 50-percent increase over 1996, begging the question, At this rate of increase, where is the Nation going?

Obviously, to anyone in the system, by far the greatest component of this campaign spending is the cost of television advertising. Indeed, one-third of the $3 billion raised and spent in the 2000 elections went to pay for political advertisements on television. My predecessor, Senator Bradley of New Jersey, probably said it best a few years ago:

During the 2000 elections, the broadcast networks enjoyed record profits. The placing of political advertisements on the networks is not a public service. They do not do this under duress. It is a major form of network profits. It is estimated to be at least $770 million and, indeed, figures could be as high as $1 billion that was spent by candidates on political advertisements -- a 76-percent increase over 1996.

The chart on my left illustrates the rapid increase. President midterm spending, in 1982, adjusted for inflation, was $200 million; in the year 2000, now reaching $800 million. It is an exponential increase that is unsustainable. The Alliance for Better Campaigns recently issued its report, "Gouging Democracy, How the TV Industry Profiteered on Campaign 2000." This report illustrates how stations across the country took advantage of candidates by increasing their pricing for advertising just when they knew that campaigns needed the time the most.

In Philadelphia and New York City, the two media networks which serve my State of New Jersey, the cost of some political ads increased almost 50 percent between Labor Day and election day -- television stations recognizing that unlike an automobile manufacturer or a soap manufacturer that can advertise at any time of the year, a candidate has no choice but to communicate with those voters between Labor Day and election day. They have a captive market and they take full and unconscionable advantage.

The letter on my left is a perfect example. This is a television station which has had an ad placed by a Federal candidate. Under the law, they are required to sell this ad at the lowest unit rate. But as is typical of the television networks, they wrote a letter back to the candidate saying:

My colleagues, this is the heart of the problem. The candidate placed the ad at $6,300, as required by law. But the television station let the candidate know: You may have bought this ad in accord with Federal law at $6,300, but you will never see it on television because we will bump it. You will not get it for when you bought it. It will be shown in the middle of the night when no one will see it.

So they politely extort another $8,000 in order to guarantee the time slot that has been provided. An ad required to be sold at $6,000 by law is now in excess of $14,000. This is the heart of the problem. And it is typical.

Now, by law, Members of the Senate undoubtedly think this was addressed years ago, and they would be right in having that belief. Nothing I am now reviewing should be allowed by law. But there is a loophole, and the loophole, as I have illustrated, is that they will sell you the time. They will just never guarantee it will ever be seen on television. That, as I think anybody could assess, is not much of an advertising campaign.

The law is actually being complied with as an exception. The rule is the violation. The chart on my left illustrates this point conclusively. The heavy red lines are advertisements that are placed above the lowest unit rate -- remembering that the law requires that advertisements be sold to political candidates, as required for communication in Federal elections, at the lowest unit rate.

WCCO in Minneapolis met its public responsibility by selling 4 percent of all of its advertisements at the lowest unit rate. And 95 percent of all the ads placed were higher than lowest rates. They are paying commercial rates.

In New York city, an advertising market with which I am familiar, WNBC -- not some unaffiliated station, but one owned by the National Broadcasting Company itself -- 15 percent of their ads were in accordance with the law at the lowest unit rate; for 78 percent they were charging commercial rates to Federal candidates for public office. There are stations that are better. The chart illustrates that virtually in every market in the country, large States and small, rural and urban, the responsibilities are not being met.

In Los Angeles, KABC -- once again, an affiliate owned by the network itself -- 34 percent of all advertisements are being sold at commercial rates. In Columbus, OH, it is 90 percent. At KYW, one of the most popular stations in Philadelphia, it is 91 percent. At WXYZ in Detroit, it is 88 percent sold at commercial rates.

My colleagues, the law as you intended it, to require lowest unit rate sales of advertising, has collapsed. It is not happening. Broadcasters are auctioning advertising time to Federal candidates in competition with the industries of America. Any candidate is facing the prospect of a bidding war with General Motors or Ford or IBM when they go to place political advertising. The law is simply not functioning.

Similar patterns, as I have demonstrated, are all over the country. To quote the Alliance for Better Campaigns, "while this law remains on the books, its original intent is no longer served." The other part of this equation is not simply that there is price gouging of candidates by taking advantage of a loophole in the lowest unit rate, but, almost incredibly and simultaneously, the broadcasters are violating another responsibility. One responsibility is the lowest unit rate to allow advertising, not to increase the cost of campaigns and increase fundraising responsibilities and burdens; the other is to provide news coverage. These, my colleagues, after all, are the public airwaves, licensed by the Federal Government for the interest of the American people to promote their debates. The Federal airwaves are not to be used entirely for sitcoms and cartoons, or to sell soap or automobiles. There is a public responsibility.

I am going to show the difference between what is going on in advertising and news coverage. As you can see on this chart, those ads sold at the unit rate are flat. The red line shows that almost all advertising is going on to the non-unit rate or commercial rate of advertising.

We will move on to the news coverage. Now, remembering how the advertising was increasing at commercial costs, exponentially the chart was rising to the top. Consider this, remembering the two responsibilities: selling at lowest unit rate and providing news coverage in the public interest.

In Philadelphia, during the New Jersey Senate primary -- remembering there was no incumbent -- we were choosing a U.S. Senator for New Jersey, during a Presidential election, the final 2 weeks of the campaign. In Philadelphia, this is the amount of news coverage in the final 14 days of the election: WPVI in Philadelphia, an average of 19 seconds per evening; WVAU, in the public interest, on a federally licensed station, dedicated an average of 1 second per night to informing their viewers on the Senate campaign in its closing days. In New York, the situation was not very much different. WNBC -- once again, a network-owned-and- operated affiliate, not some arm's length operating station, but NBC's own station in New York, in the final 2 weeks of the campaign -- gave 23 seconds to covering the primary. At WCBS in New York, an average of 10 seconds was given to covering this.

Exactly. Why would anyone provide free coverage in the public interest in hard news when, alternatively, candidates must pay millions of dollars to the stations themselves to get their message across? There is a disincentive to provide news because people have to pay for it.

The Brennan Center reports that, indeed, in the 30 days preceding the November elections, the national broadcasters averaged about 1 minute per night -- 1 minute -- in substantive campaign coverage.

Rather than a discussion of substantive issues, the broadcast networks covered the campaign 2000 primarily as a horse race. Only one in four network news stations aired stories that were, indeed, issue oriented.

Overall, a viewer in the State of New Jersey is 10 times more likely to see a paid political advertisement -- 10 times -- than they are ever to see a news story, excepting that most of those news stories are scandal, and horse races, and are not news anyway.

Conceding they really are news, let's operate on the fiction they were putting news on the air. Nevertheless, one would be 10 times more likely to see a political advertisement.

The fact is, news coverage has reached an all-time low. Just as the networks are evading their responsibility for the lowest unit cost under the law, they are also avoiding their responsibility to provide hard news.

Broadcasters are in many respects public trustees. They should not be putting the public airwaves out to bid when political candidates want to communicate with their constituents. They receive their licenses by meeting FCC requirements under the 1934 Communications Act in the public interest. The law makes clear that the airwaves are public property and that they must be used for the "public interest, convenience, and necessity." Indeed, perhaps maybe this Congress deserves some of the blame. In 1997, the Congress gave broadcasters digital TV licenses which doubled the amount of spectrum. If sold at auction, it would have brought in $70 billion. William Safire wrote:

Bob Dole called it "a giant corporate welfare scheme." What all this has meant is broadcasters taking advantage of this new technology without any new responsibility, and we have allowed this situation to deteriorate to the point of billion-dollar campaigns putting enormous burdens of time and money on the political system. That is, in my judgment, unsustainable.

In response to this gift of public assets, President Clinton appointed an advisory panel to update the public interest obligation of broadcasters. The panel advised broadcasters to voluntarily air 5 minutes a night in the 30 days before the election. During the 2000 elections, local affiliates of NBC and CBS agreed to the 5 minutes. Although these stations should be commended, they and other stations made similar decisions representing 70 percent of the 1,300 local stations.

Shockingly, ABC, which was the second biggest beneficiary of political advertisement last year, did not make any commitment at all. The refusal of ABC to join other broadcast networks was the broadest step toward further corporate irresponsibility.

In sum, what much of this means is that contrary to law and the national interest, the broadcasters have now developed a dependency on political advertising. As the chart on my left illustrates, this is now the source of revenues of television stations and networks, gaining 25 percent of all of their revenue from the automobile companies, the largest industry in America; 15 percent from retailers across the country, and, unbelievably, 10 percent of all revenues of television stations is now coming from political advertising.

If this, however, were a chart of Iowa or New Hampshire or early primary States, we would find during the Presidential elections that it is not third but first.

Even taking the network's greatest advantage of looking at this nationally, it is clear television stations have developed a dependency -- indeed, an addiction -- on political advertising. That is clearly not in the national interest.

What should, however, gain the attention of the American people is the almost unbelievable hypocrisy of the networks on this issue. They have joined the fight for campaign finance reform by criticizing the current finance system, and we welcome their assistance. If there is to be genuine reform, we are glad the voices of the networks have been part of the drumbeat of criticism to bring this Congress to a change. They want change. They just do not want to be part of it, recognizing there is a reason this money is being raised, and they are the principal reason.

Outside this Chamber, today the National Association of Broadcasters will have its lobbyists attempting to convince Members they should not bear any responsibility and they should be able to evade the current law and charge commercial rates for their $1 billion in political advertising. Indeed, since 1996, the National Association of Broadcasters has spent $19 million. While the network broadcasters are convincing the American people to change the political system, their lobbyists are in the hall spending millions of dollars in lobbying time convincing people not to lower costs, do not raise money, but keep spending it on us.

On a bipartisan basis, this Senate is going to vote today to implement a law which we intended a long time ago. These are public airwaves. There will not be price gouging for candidates for Federal office. This time will be sold at the lowest unit rate as was always our intention.

Our intention is very simple: One, require broadcasters to charge candidates and political parties the lowest rate offered throughout the year. Therefore, the gouging that takes place because the networks know that we must advertise between Labor Day and election day will end. They will base these prices on the lowest rate throughout the year.

Second, ensure that candidate and party ads cannot be bumped, displaced, by other advertisers willing to pay more for the air time. Simply stated, to avoid the problem, as in the letter I indicated from one television station, where a candidate for public office attempting to communicate with their constituent is told that General Motors is willing to pay more for the same spot; therefore, either you pay what they will pay or your advertisement will run in the dead of the night.

Three, require the FCC to conduct random checks during the preelection period to ensure compliance with the law. In 1990, Senator Danforth of Missouri requested a similar audit by the FCC and for the first time revealed the extent to which broadcasters were not charging candidates the lowest unit rate. Although the crackdown resulted in a temporary dip in rates as broadcasters followed the law more closely, recognizing the FCC controlled their licenses, as soon as the study was finished, the monitoring was over, rates went up again, and the law was violated. This time we will monitor it, but we will monitor it permanently.

Savings that will result from this amendment are extraordinary, as is the ability to change the national political culture of the fundraiser, reducing costs, resulting in reduced fundraising. This is a great opportunity. I do not know a member of this Congress who wouldn't rather spend their time legislating than raising funds. I don't know a Member of this Congress who wouldn't prefer to be at home on the weekends with their family or constituents, rather than traveling around the Nation raising funds. This isn't something that anybody enjoys. There is an endless spiral of fundraising that is out of control, but it will not be stopped simply by eliminating soft money or making it more difficult to raise money of any kind. Candidates will find money within the law under some system unless we address the question of costs. In the modern political age, the cost of a campaign is easily defined. It is television. This is a network-driven process. And it can change.

My final chart illustrates the difference in running political campaigns in three jurisdictions. If the Torricelli-Corzine-Durbin- Dorgan amendment is adopted, the cost of running advertising in Los Angeles, the second most expensive media market in the country, would be a 75-percent difference by applying the lowest unit rate; in Denver, 41 percent; in Birmingham, AL, an incredible 400-percent difference.

This goes to the heart of the problem. We are simply requiring what was asked a long time ago. We do not do this to an industry that is struggling. The broadcast industry is making record profits by using Federal licenses with new technology that has been given without cost. Now, my friends, it is time to ask them to meet their responsibilities.

A new campaign finance system in America will require responsibilities and sacrifices by many people -- certainly by every Member of Congress. This amendment will welcome the broadcasters into a new responsibility in being part of the answer to the problem rather than the core of the problem itself.

Jon Corzine

Mr. President, I am pleased to join my esteemed colleague, the senior Senator from New Jersey and a number of other colleagues in offering this amendment to reduce the exploding costs of political advertisements on the airwaves. As Senator Torricelli has articulated and effectively demonstrated, this amendment would guarantee that candidate advertisements are not preempted by more favored, high-spending advertisers and that candidates are given the lowest available rate for the reserved time.

Mr. President, campaigns do cost too much. God knows, I know. To communicate with voters, at least in large States like New Jersey with multiple and expensive media markets, candidates must use television time. And television is very expensive. My campaign was charged as much as $55,000 for one 30-second spot alone in the weeks directly preceding the election. Others actually paid more.

When I began my run for the Senate, I was generally unknown to the community at-large. I had enjoyed a successful business career, which I thought would make a contribution to the Senate, the Nation, and my community. But virtually no one in New Jersey knew who I was or, more importantly, where I stood on the issues. Meanwhile, my opponents included a former Governor and a former Congressman who were very well recognized throughout our State. The Governor had run five statewide campaigns and the latter had been in Congress 8 years and politics most of his adult life. Certainly their experience should not have been disqualifying, but neither should a lifetime of participation in the private sector preclude the possibility for government service.

With that background, Mr. President, as you may know, New Jersey has no major in-State television market. Rather, north Jersey voters are served by New York City television stations while south Jersey voters are served by those from Philadelphia.

The trend in television news coverage is to spend less and less time on State and local races, and the problem is exaggerated in New Jersey where stations from other States devote little airtime to covering New Jersey politics.

As my senior colleague pointed out, in both the Philadelphia market and New York market, as we ran up to the primary, there was very little coverage. It averaged, if you looked across the two markets, 13 seconds per day during the 60 days leading up to the election. Think about that: 13 seconds a day for five candidates to express their points of view and get in front of the public. That is some debate. I do hope we can do something about it.

Compounding matters, there is also a trend away from covering substantive issues, as Senator Torricelli remarked, in favor of covering elections in horseraces, who is up, who is down, what the polls say, not what the issues are. For those candidates, such as myself, who want to engage voters on the issues, the only option is to purchase time from the high priced, out-of-State broadcasters in our case. The end result is the candidates, especially challengers, those who have not previously held public office, must grapple with hugely expensive media costs to stand a chance.

Let me be clear. Media exposure does not guarantee success. A bankrupt message will lose, despite a well-funded media campaign. I don't buy the argument you can buy an election. There are many examples of candidates who have spent significant amounts of money, only to lose. People who argue you can buy elections, in my view, underestimate the ability and the judgment of the voters. Still, while adequate exposure on television clearly is not sufficient to generate success, lack of exposure for many candidates almost certainly will guarantee failure, again, particularly for challengers and newcomers who might bring different experiences and perspectives to issues.

Congress recognized this media cost problem in 1971 when it required broadcasters to offer candidates the lowest price offered for a similar timeslot. Unfortunately, that legislation included a major loophole. Under the law, while local stations must offer a candidate the lowest available rate, the broadcasters are allowed to preempt those commercials and broadcast them at a later time -- in the case in New Jersey and Philadelphia markets, maybe at 3 a.m., as opposed to prime time. To guarantee that an advertisement is shown at a particular time, candidates are forced to pay premium rates. These premiums have increased the price of on-air time dramatically.

According to this report, the cost of political advertising last year was $771 million, more than doubling the cost just 8 years ago in 1992. That is up from $375 million to almost $800 million. That is a conservative estimate. The fact is, media costs simply are growing out of control.

To avoid having campaign ads preempted, candidates are forced to pay prices above the lowest unit cost. Some 78 percent of the political ads on WNBC, a New York network affiliate -- one of the prime spots for placing your ads in the New York media market -- were purchased at a rate higher than the lowest published candidate rate for those timeslots in the fall of 2000. You will see here: WNBC -- 78 percent.

So we compare it equally with Philadelphia, where you also have to run in New Jersey, and 91 percent of the ads were sold at or above those lowest unit costs.

It is critical to remember that the public owns the airwaves. They are licensed to broadcasters but they belong to all of us. They are a public trust, gifted to the broadcasters for commercial use.

The Television Bureau of Advertising, based on estimates supplied by CMR MediaWatch, estimates that ad revenues for the broadcast television stations in 1999 exceeded $36 billion. Seemingly, the public spectrum has proved profitable for the television broadcasters: $36 billion. Consequently, it is not unreasonable to ask the stations to make time available so candidates can communicate with the voters.

Many would argue if we truly want to get rid of this money chase in politics, we should guarantee free air time for public debate. I agree, but for today we argue only for TV time at the lowest cost per unit. That is all this amendment does. It requires broadcasters to make time available on a nonpreemptable basis at the lowest cost offered to anyone for that time period, and it requires the FCC to conduct periodic audits to ensure compliance.

This does nothing more than enforce the original intent of Congress when it first required broadcasters to make time available at the lowest unit rate. This simple but powerful reform potentially will bring sanity to the cost of 21st century campaigns.

Chris Dodd

Mr. President, I am about to yield to my colleague and friend, Senator Dorgan, but I wish to commend both of our colleagues from New Jersey -- Senator Torricelli for being the lead sponsor of this amendment and Senator Corzine and others for their cosponsorship of it and to Senator Corzine for some excellent remarks on the purpose of this amendment.

Chris Dodd

I will take some time later on this morning to address the substance of the amendment, but I commend both of my colleagues for their efforts. This is very well thought out. The point Senator Corzine made that we sometimes forget is that these are public airwaves which we license people to use for commercial purposes. Nothing is more important than making people aware of the choices, both issues and substantive choices as well as political choices that they make in national, local, or State elections. We can't say anything about local or State elections, but we can about national -- Federal elections.

I think Senators Torricelli, Corzine, Dorgan, and Durbin have hit on a very important point if this bill is to do truly what its authors intend it to do.

Byron Dorgan

Mr. President, I say to Senator Torricelli and my other colleagues who have cosponsored this amendment, they have done a real service, in my judgment, in this debate. This is an amendment that can hardly be opposed by Members of the Senate. It makes so much sense and is so overdue.

This Saturday there was a story in one of the major city newspapers in this country. I do not think I will identify the people in the story, but I want to use this story to make a point. It is a story about a group who has gathered to fund certain political campaigns. It says they met in a conference room, 40 business executives, investors, wealthy folks gathered at a law firm conference room, and they had some candidates come in and they would make presentations to the gathered potential donors. Then the donors would score them, 1 to 10, and determine who was best, who were the best candidates.

It was like a beauty contest without the bathing suits or good looks, I guess. You have the candidates come in this law office conference room, make their presentation, and they get a score of 1 to 10. Apparently after the candidates have made this presentation, this group of investors would decide who they were going to support. In this case, the story was about a Member of Congress now who went to this conference room, made a presentation, scored in the 10s, I guess, and then this group of 40 people said: You are our guy. What we are going to do is, we are going to do a couple of hundred thousand dollars worth of television advertising for you -- independent issue ads -- and then, second, we are going to bundle some money and get you a couple of hundred thousand dollars in checks.

So this little beauty contest produces $400,000 for a candidate. The group evolved from a small core of Wall Street bigwigs led by so-and- so. Their goal is to target large sums of money to specific kinds of candidates who come in and survive this little beauty contest they have.

Do we need campaign finance reform? Of course we do. That is just one evidence of the desperate need for campaign finance reform. You bet we need it. I support the McCain-Feingold bill. I admit it is not perfect. I might have written some sections differently. It may need to be changed some. But it is a piece of legislation this Congress ought to embrace.

Byron Dorgan

Fifty years ago we effectively had no rules with respect to campaigns. There were no limits, no reporting requirements, and there was an exchange of money in this town in paper bags or envelopes; it could be in cash. The amount of money was donated and unreported.

Byron Dorgan

Was that a system that worked? Of course not. That desperately needed to be changed and it was in the early 1970s. We had the reforms of 1974 that tried to establish certain limits and tried to establish certain reporting. In many ways it worked, in some areas, but in other ways it has not worked. Money and politics are like water finding a hill. They run downhill inevitably.

Byron Dorgan

There is in this political system, rather than a competition of ideas is, which is what democracy ought to be about, a mad rush for money in order to pay the costs of television advertising, which has become the mother's milk of politics. What has happened to their competition of ideas in this blizzard of television advertising? Ideas are almost gone, nearly obliterated. The orgy of 30-second advertisements in this country is a slash-and-burn and hit-and-run negative attack, often by nameless and faceless people, in many cases by organizations that are not part of political parties. They are independent organizations collecting unlimited money from donors who are undisclosed.

Byron Dorgan

In this morning's Washington Post there is a columnist who really makes the case about, what we need in politics is more money, that we just need more money in this political system. I wonder, has this person been on some kind of space flight somewhere? Did the shuttle take him up, and have they gone for the last 10 years? Could they not have failed to see in September and October -- and even before in every election year, especially last year -- the blizzard of advertisements, the 30-second ads in every venue of every kind?

Byron Dorgan

Our political system doesn't need more money. In fact, what has happened -- and I think that is what has prompted this amendment -- is that politicians have become collectors of money in order to transfer the money to television stations that become the large beneficiaries of this new system of ours.

Byron Dorgan

My colleague, Senator Torricelli, has offered an amendment that says the television stations in this country have a responsibility to do what the law says they should do -- that industry has a responsibility to sell political time for political advertisements to candidates at the lowest rate on the rate card. But that has not been happening. What has happened in the communications business -- especially television and radio -- is a galloping concentration and mergers. Since the 1996 Telecommunications Act, we have seen a rash of mergers and large companies becoming larger. In virtually very State, there are fewer television stations owned locally, and more are owned by large national combines.

Guess what happened. The result is they make decisions now about the ad prices and the rate cards they are going to use for politics. They are maximizing their revenue from the political income in this country.

Let me describe what happened in North Dakota. The advertisement that cost a mere $290 in 1998 to clear an ad on four NBC stations in western North Dakota -- remember that this is a sparsely populated area, and the rates are much different from in New Jersey and New York -- but a $290 or $300 advertisement 2 years go sold at $753 last fall, nearly tripling the advertising rates of the television stations in a small State such as North Dakota.

This isn't just about big markets, it is about every market, and it is about the television industry deciding it is going to profit as a result of being able to ignore, effectively, a provision that exists in law requiring the sale of television advertising at the lowest rate on the card for political advertising.

I happen to think we ought to do more in reform with respect to advertising. I know some think this would be too intrusive. But, as I indicated, I think political campaigns ought to be a competition about ideas. They ought to be about competing ideas of what we need to do in this country to make this a better place in which to live. They have instead become this machine gunfire of 30-second advertisements.

I would like to see at some point that we require the lowest rate on the rate card to be offered to those who purchase a 1-minute ad, require the television industry to sell ads in 1-minute increments, and require the candidate to appear on the ad three-fourths of the time of the 1-minute ad. That would really require people to use television advertising to tell the American people what they are about. If they want to criticize their opponent, good for them. But they would have to do it in person on the air.

I think that would really change a lot of political advertising in this country, and I think America would be better served to have positive debate about what the candidate stands for; one would stand for one set of ideas, and the other would stand for another set of ideas; and let people make a choice. But these days, that is not what you have. You have a rush to try to destroy one candidate by the other, and in many cases we are seeing expenditures and unlimited money coming from undisclosed donors. That doesn't serve this political system at all.

My colleague says let us at least solve this problem by adding to the McCain-Feingold bill. As I indicated when I started, I support the McCain-Feingold legislation because I think it is a significant step in the right direction. But it will be incomplete if we do not add this amendment because this amendment will finally tell the television industry: You must do what the law requires. Here is exactly what Congress says the law has required for some long while that you have gotten away from doing. If we don't do this, we will not see an abatement to this mad rush for money and the requirement that those who are involved in politics collect funds in order to transfer those funds to the television stations that are now charging double and triple for the advertising that is required in America politics.

Let me make an additional point about the television industry. I think the television industry does some awfully good things in our country, and all of us take advantage of it almost every day. And we appreciate the good things they do. But, as we know, the television industry was provided a spectrum. The public airwaves were given to broadcasters free on the condition they serve "the public interest, convenience, and necessity." According to a study by the Norman Lear Center at the University of Southern California, during the 2000 campaign the typical local television station in a major market aired just 45 seconds of the candidate's second discourse per night during a month before November 7. Why? They know what sells on the news. They are chasing ambulances, they are not covering political campaigns.

There were stories about this in the last campaign. Too often television stations decided they weren't going to put campaign news in the news strip, let people buy it, and at the same time on the commercial side of the station they were jacking up the price of their ads and preventing candidates from accessing the lowest unit cost.

Byron Dorgan

The question is, How are the American people to gather information about the competition of ideas that ought to exist in the political race over the newscast? Hardly. The news industry, including the networks, is not covering most of these campaigns. And local stations have decided increasingly that there is a menu for their nightly news, and they understand exactly what it is. It is often dealing with crime, even while crime goes down.

Incidentally, there are wonderful studies about this which show decreased crime rates and increased viewing of stories about violent crime on the nightly news because that is what sells.

It is time for us to ask for something better and something different from the television industry. In this circumstance, we are simply asking them to do what we believe the law has required them to do but what they have been refusing to do in recent years, and that is to sell 45 days before a primary and 60 days before a general election to candidates for public office at the lowest unit charge of the station for the same class and amount of time for the same period as for the commercials that are aired on those stations. That is what the requirement is.

Mitch McConnell

Mr. President, I would be happy to yield some time. I am unaware of speakers at the moment in opposition to the Torricelli amendment. There may be some. Actually, I know of one who wants to speak. He is not on the floor at the moment. So we will be casual about time, and I will make sure we can accommodate all speakers.

Let me inquire. We have several colleagues who want to speak on behalf of the amendment. While I want to speak, I do not want to take all the time that remains. So I am under the Senator's guidance.

At this point, I want to deal with several of the questions that have been put before the Senate. In the absence of anyone coming to the Senate floor to confront the overwhelming logic of our amendment, I want to deal with the stealth arguments being presented in Senators' offices. Even though no one will rise in defense of this indefensible cause of the networks, nevertheless, there are silent arguments being waged. I will debate those even if there is not someone in person to do it.

Where does the money go? Mr. McCain and Mr. Feingold deal with the demand for money. We are dealing with the supply of the advertisements. This is an equation that inevitably must be dealt with together in the bill.

It has been noted by my colleague, Senator Corzine, of our experience in the New York metropolitan area, although indeed we do so simply because we are the most familiar with it. The arguments we are making about New York and Philadelphia could be made in any market in the country, al though I want, parenthetically, to deal with how the networks are approaching political campaigns today, not as a responsibility to enhance communication but as an economic opportunity.

It should be noted that of the 10 stations that made the most money from political advertising in the year 2000, three are in New York: NBC, ABC and CBS; two are in Philadelphia, WPVI and WCAU. They range from WNBC in New York, which placed $25 million of advertising, and in Philadelphia with $11 million for WCAU. It is best described by the sales director at the CBS affiliate in Philadelphia as "the best year we've had in forever." Why was it the best year and why all this excitement?

He was not talking about the quality of the debate. "Santa Claus coming" was not about substantive arguments to help the people of New York. He was talking about the prospects of Hillary Rodham Clinton running for the Senate and the potential revenues, recognizing the expenditures in a Clinton Senate campaign. "We're salivating." "It's a beautiful thing." "It's like Santa Claus came." It is not by chance that we come today making this argument. There has been a calculation by television networks to take advantage of this political system and this fundraising to maximize their profits.

There are arguments going on in Senators' offices as we speak. Papers are being circulated, as I have suggested, in the absence of any Senators coming to argue against this amendment. Stealth arguments are being made to Senators' offices. Let me go through a few of these arguments for a moment.

My colleagues, there is no amendment before the Senate requiring free time. Indeed, there could be an argument for it. All of our European allies, in every other industrial democracy in the world, broadcasters are required to provide free time to help the public debate. We are not doing that today. It would be warranted, but it is not being argued.

We are simply requiring that the law read as many Senators believe it already exists -- lowest unit cost. We are closing a loophole in the current law.

Second, the National Association of Broadcasters is arguing in Members' offices that: Candidates already receive a 30 percent discount on regular commercial ad rates. Oh, my colleagues, if only it were so. As I think we demonstrated earlier in my arguments, that is a fiction. Candidates are not getting 30 percent. Yes, that is the law. That is what should be happening. But as we have demonstrated -- in Minneapolis, 95 percent of advertising is now being done at commercial rates, 4 percent is at lowest unit rate; in Detroit, 8 percent is at lowest unit rate; in Philadelphia, 9 percent; in San Francisco, 14 percent; in Las Vegas, 38 percent; in Seattle, 9 percent.

No, National Association of Broadcasters, you are not providing a 30- percent discount. That is the exception. The rule is, you are price gouging. You are charging commercial rates -- contrary to current law.

Third, arguing that: This has a fundamental, constitutional problem. There is no constitutional problem. First, we have had, for more than 30 years, the requirement that ads must be sold at the lowest unit rate. We are not doing anything new. We are closing a loophole in current law. If there is a constitutional argument now, then there has been a constitutional argument for decades; and it has never been raised before, although, frankly, even if it had been, it would have failed.

The fifth amendment's taking challenge would fail in this provision. There is no right to a grant of a license or property interest in the use of a frequency. The networks have a public license to use the public frequencies for their network business. There is no constitutional right to it. You apply for a license, and you can get that license subject to conditions. Public responsibility is one of those conditions.

Under section 304 of the Communications Act of 1934, broadcasters are required to "waive any claim to the use of any particular frequency or electromagnetic spectrum as against the regulatory power of the U.S." There they have waived the constitutional right to claim that the spectrum must be used for public purposes.

Finally, the broadcasters are arguing, in correspondence to our offices, that broadcasters should not bear the burden of campaign reform. Why not? Isn't dealing with the campaign finance problems of the country everybody's responsibility? We are saying that candidates for public office should no longer avail themselves of soft money, should abide by certain rules. Why indeed should broadcasters not bear some of the responsibilities? Do they not have public licenses? Do they not have responsibility to air the news fairly, cover campaigns, to inform the public? Should they be allowed to price gouge?

They make the argument: What about newspapers? Shouldn't newspapers bear this responsibility? I don't know a newspaper in America that deals with a Federal license, nor are newspapers under the same circumstance of a market that will only permit so many newspapers. The spectrum has limited the number of television stations; hence, the FEC's requirements and Federal law.

These National Association of Broadcasters arguments are an insult. They confirm the arrogance with which the networks are approaching Federal campaigns, the arrogance that is leading to avoidance of Federal responsibilities, the selling at lowest unit rate cost, or the raising of these extraordinary arguments without merit.

The facts are inarguable, when you look at the rates that are being charged in major markets all across the country. It goes back to the heart of the bill. As we are trying to keep down costs, for many of us it runs somewhere around 75 or 80 cents on the dollar that is spent on TV advertising. It varies from State to State, I am sure, but that is not an unrealistic number in modern campaigns to spend that much of a campaign dollar on TV advertising, considering how much the public relies on television for its sources of information.

If we are truly trying to put the brakes on the ever-spiraling cost of campaigns, as my colleague from Wisconsin has eloquently described, there is no natural law that I know of which says that the costs of campaigns ought to continue to rise at the rate they have been rising over the last few years. Trying to do something about cost as well as the amount of dollars that are raised is the second part of this equation.

If we are making the case that we don't need more money in politics, that case is more easily made if we are able to demonstrate that we can reduce the cost of trying to speak to the American public about what our views are, what their choices are, as we encourage people to participate in the electoral process.

I thank our colleagues, the authors of this amendment, for offering the amendment and making the case they have. I know our colleague from Illinois, who is a cosponsor of the amendment, wants to be heard. I see my colleague from Wisconsin. Maybe he would like to take a couple minutes before Senator Durbin arrives. I yield a couple of minutes to the Senator from Wisconsin.

I know the Senator from Illinois is coming. I will take a moment or two. I appreciate the Senator from Connecticut giving me the time so I can indicate my support for this amendment. I think I can speak for the Senator from Arizona as well. We are going to support this amendment.

The Senator from New Jersey has laid out the substantive arguments very persuasively. I wish to say a word or two about how this amendment relates to our overall McCain-Feingold bill and why it is very consistent with reform. The Senator from Connecticut has already mentioned this, pretty much foreshadowing what I will say.

The most important point is that the amendment compliments the soft money ban. The bottom line of our legislation is, we have to get rid of this party soft money that is growing exponentially. The reality, though, as the Senator from New Jersey has pointed out, is that in a post-soft-money world, the amount of money available for a candidate in party advertising will be significantly reduced. That is how it should be. That is what we must do.

Reducing the cost of television time will have the very beneficial effect of reducing the impact of the loss of soft money on the ability of candidates to legitimately get their message out. The parties will only have hard money to spend. For that reason, it is appropriate to allow them to use the lowest unit rate as well.

The fact is, this amendment can help make the legislation work. This amendment will help the parties to adjust to the new world of fundraising for only hard money, and it will help candidates have the sufficient resources to respond to ads that will still be run by outside groups.

Some of the concerns about all the money that would flow to the outside groups are overblown. I don't think all the money will flow. It is false that all the corporations will give their money in that way. The fact is, there still will be these ads and people will still need to respond. The Torricelli amendment does make it possible for people to have that ability to respond through the legitimate, controlled, regulated, and disclosed hard money system.

Like the soft money ban in this bill, the amendment will take our election law back to its original intent. The soft money ban reinvigorates the century-old prohibition of corporate spending in connection with Federal elections. Lowest unit rate, on the other hand, was intended to give candidates a significant discount for advertising so they could get their message out. The practice of having preemptible and then, on the other hand, nonpreemptible classes of time was not contemplated by the lowest unit rate statute. What this amendment does is bring the LUR back to what the Congress intended it to be.

In my mind, it is very similar to what the soft money ban does. It takes us back to where we were supposed to be. We are talking in both cases about loopholes that have helped destroy an entire system that actually was pretty well thought out. But loopholes do occur, and this amendment helps us close them.

The Senator from New Jersey already did a fine job on this. I reiterate, this is not a slippery slope. This is not the next step to free time. I wish it was. There ought to be free time for candidates. There ought to be reduced television costs, but LUR is not free time. The original McCain-Feingold bill, when Senator McCain and I first came together to work on a bipartisan basis, was about voluntary spending limits in return for reduced costs for television time. That is something we were unable to get a majority of the Senate to support. That is not what this amendment does. This amendment simply makes LUR effective and useful in practice for candidates.

I thank the Senator and appreciate his very serious involvement in this campaign finance debate and, in particular, for this amendment that, as I indicated, Senator McCain and I tried for 5 years to finally get this bill on the floor. We always said we have our ideas, but we believe that if this bill is brought to the floor of the Senate, the Members of the Senate will make it a better bill. Every one of us is an expert on this issue. If we come out and have an honest, open debate as we are having now, it will get better. The Torricelli amendment is proof of that proposition.

I have been very pleased by the debate so far on this subject and, frankly, somewhat surprised. The comity in the Senate has been excellent. There has been a total absence of unsubstantiated charges of corruption, which we had on the floor the last time this debate came up. That is a step in the right direction.

In my view, as I have said in the past, and repeat again today, when people make those kinds of charges, they need to back them up. I am quite pleased there have been no such charges made during this debate. It produces an atmosphere that makes it more likely that we can better legislate.

This is the second amendment offered in the last 24 hours that I think addresses some of the real problems in today's campaign finance reform debate. The first problem that we addressed yesterday was the problem of the millionaire candidate. It passed 70-30. It was an excellent amendment by Senator Domenici and Senator DeWine and Senator Durbin that actually addresses a real problem we have in today's campaigns.

Now we have another amendment that addresses a real problem. I commend the Senator from New Jersey for a thoughtful, well-researched, and, in my view, conclusive case, that the law that has been on the books for 30 years requiring the broadcasters to sell candidates time at the lowest unit rate ought to be complied with. None of us likes having to raise money. But it is my view that it is better than getting it out of the Treasury. I assume we will debate later whether or not the taxpayers ought to pick up the tab for our campaigns. If it is inconvenient for us, it ought to come through our efforts, not somebody else's.

As the Senator from New Jersey pointed out, and very persuasively, no matter how many hours there are in a day, with the declining value of the $1,000 contribution set in the 1970s, when a Mustang cost $2,700, and inflation in the television industry, far beyond the CPI -- coupled with an apparent unwillingness that we have all experienced in our States of broadcast stations to cover campaigns in the news -- we are, in effect, blacked out in terms of earned coverage.

The need for commercials is critical and essential. So what the Senator from New Jersey is saying is, let's apply the law, as originally written, correctly. Give candidates for public office an opportunity to get their message across. I think it is an amendment, the passage of which is necessary if we are going to address one of the real problems in the current campaign finance system.

This is something of a historic moment. I think Senator McCain, Senator Feingold, and I are going to be on the same side of an amendment. Come to think of it, it is the second time.

I commend the Senator from Wisconsin, also, for his consistent opposition to amending the first amendment for the first time in 200 years. He and I have been on the same side of that issue over the years. This will be the second time we have been on the same side. I think it bodes well as we move forward in this debate.

In my judgment, we are actually improving this bill. I hope we will make other improvements as we go along. I intend to support the Torricelli amendment. I commend the Senator from New Jersey for a completely well-researched, documented case that addresses one of the real problems we have in American politics in the year 2001.

Back in the early 1960s, Newt Minow, of Chicago, was named Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission by President John Kennedy. He came up with a phrase to characterize television at that moment in our history, which has become legendary. Newt Minow called television in the early 1960s, "the great wasteland." He took a look at what was available on television and suggested that the American people deserved better. It triggered a national debate for reform and creative thinking about the role of television.

I say today, if you look at the role of television in this debate on political campaigns and public issues, television is not just a great wasteland, television has become a killing field because the people who run the television stations, the networks and local broadcasters, have forgotten the bottom line: their responsibility to the American people.

You see, they are selling a product. It is something they create; it is programming -- the types of things we like to watch on television, such as sports, news, and entertainment. But their business is different than any other. The way they sell their product is on something that we as Americans all own -- the airwaves. The television stations don't own the airwaves. We tell them: You can rent the airwaves; you can lease the airwaves, and we will license you to use the airwaves, but we expect you to do it in a responsible way.

Today we are engaged in a debate -- and all this week -- on campaign finance reform. Many people have suggested changes that are significant. I salute Senators Feingold of Wisconsin and McCain of Arizona. I have been a cosponsor of the bill. They are talking about the sources of money that go into political advertising. We all know that the sources have become scandalous in size and, frankly, in their special interests. I think they are on the right track to clean up the money going into political campaigns. But the important thing to remember is that just dealing with the supply side, if you will, of political campaigns, the sources of campaign contributions misses the point.

Do you want to really reform political campaigns in America? You can't even have a serious conversation about that, unless you address the role of television. Television used to be a tiny part of political campaigns, but it has grown almost out of control.

Take a look at these numbers -- political advertising on broadcast television. Starting in 1970, network expenditures were $260,000. Come down to the year 2000, 30 years later, and it is $15 million-plus. Station TV used to be about $12 million in the 1970 cycle. Now we are up to $650 million. The total expenditure for the year 2000 was estimated to be some $665 million. Well, the Alliance for Better Campaigns came out and said it was going to be between $771 million and $1 billion spent on television by political campaigns.

So what we have, in fact, are efforts by candidates of both political parties to raise money to give to television and radio stations in an effort to get your message out to the American people. When we created these stations and we acknowledged that the public owned the airwaves, we also said when it came to political advertising, candidates would be treated differently than other advertisers -- something called the lowest unit charge. We basically said that if there was a bargain at the TV station, the bargain should be given to the political candidate. That is in the interest of sharing information on public issues, but also in keeping the cost of political campaigns under control.

But, sadly, though the law required, as of 1971, that the lowest unit charge be charged to candidates in their campaigns, the fact is that candidates are paying more and more. Why? Because if you go to a television station in Chicago, or in Springfield, IL, and say you want to buy a 30-second ad right before the newscast the night before the election, they will say: Senator, great. We will be glad to sell you that ad. Incidentally, if we only charge you the lowest unit rate, the bargain basement, sadly, if anybody comes and offers a dollar more for that ad, we knock you off the air.

Well, there isn't a political candidate with any good sense that will agree to that. If you are going to be knocked off the air right before the news and they put you on right before the Pledge of Allegiance and the Star-Spangled Banner at the end of the night, you have lost everything. Your market doesn't have the benefit of all the good things you have to say.

What candidates are doing is not paying the lowest unit charge, they are paying the inflated charges. The television stations have become a killing field, because they have taken the law, which said we are going to favor candidates in public discourse of issues, and have turned it upside down so that candidates, frankly, end up paying dramatically more than the lowest unit rate. The cost to the campaign skyrockets, and then candidates, incumbents and challengers alike, scramble, beg, and plead for people to give them money so they can give it right back to the television stations.

That is why the Torricelli amendment, of which I am a cosponsor, is so important. It addresses the demand side of political campaigns -- not just the supply side, where the money comes from, but how the money is spent. Sadly, as we get closer to election day and the demand for their TV ads goes up, these stations raise their rates dramatically.

A gentleman by the name of Paul Taylor, who used to write for the Washington Post, created a group called Alliance for Better Campaigns. He enlisted the support of a lot of great people, such as former President Ford; former President Carter; Walter Cronkite, the legendary CBS news commentator; and a former Senator from Illinois, Paul Simon.

This public interest group said let's take a look at television with regard to public information and whether it is doing its job. I was in one of their meetings in Chicago. They brought in the managers of TV stations and said: We noticed you are not covering campaigns, unless the candidates pay for it, on your stations. What Mr. Taylor did was to invite the radio and TV stations to take a 5-minute segment during the last week or two of the campaign and make it available for some public debate and public discourse about the issues.

The alliance advocates scrapping the lowest unworkable lowest unit charge and requiring the industry to open the airwaves. When they were asked to do it voluntarily, the stations did not comply.

America is different in this regard. Many countries make this time available to their candidates so they can have literally free access to television and radio, but in America you have to pay for it. We do not provide free air time. The cost, of course, is going through the roof.

Let me give an illustration of how bad it is using one market in which I have to buy advertising, and the market is in St. Louis. St. Louis is one of the toughest markets in which to buy advertising. There are some radio stations there which will only sell you four or five ads a week. They limit you. You cannot buy any more.

The cost of nonpreemptible time -- in other words, you get a set time which is guaranteed -- was four times higher than preemptible time. Take the lowest unit charge which candidates are supposed to get, and then if you want to make sure you get the time you asked for, at this station you are going to pay up to four times as much for that nonpreemptible time.

The story goes on. Weekday evening news took 3.3 times the amount to buy a nonpreemptible ad, and then as soon as the campaign was over, they dropped the overall rate 38 percent. On week night news at 10 o'clock in St. Louis, they dropped it 45 percent. On the Sunday a.m. news talk shows, as soon as the campaign was over, advertising costs went down 66 percent; the Sunday p.m. local news, 25 percent.

The television stations and the network affiliates are gaming the system. They understand that candidates are desperate for time. They understand that if they tell them it is preemptible, they will pay more, and then as soon as the campaigns are over, we see these dramatic decreases in the cost of this television time.

That is why it has become a killing field. They run up the rate cost for the candidates, and they refuse to cover the campaigns. They have really forgotten their civic responsibility that the airwaves belong to the American people. As a consequence of that, we are seeing a phenomenon in American politics which we cannot ignore.

A lot of people are going to argue later about how much money we should be able to raise. But keep in mind that if we are raising money to pay for electronic media -- television -- the cost of that media, according to a media buyer I contacted, goes up 15 to 20 percent every 2 years. So your campaign needs to raise 15 to 20 percent more funds to do exactly the same thing you did on television 2 years ago. If you are running for the Senate, in a 6-year period of time you can see a 60- percent increase in your television cost.

Let me give an example in St. Louis again. A moderate television buy in St. Louis runs about $186 a point. A point is the way they measure the audience. A 1,000-point buy for a week of spots -- that is about 30 or 40 30-second ads a day -- will cost you $186,000.

Under the current rules of raising money, I can ask a contributor to give me up to $1,000. So in order to run advertising in one area that serves the State of Illinois, I have to get 186 people to give me $1,000. Obviously, when one considers the entire State of Illinois and the campaign everyone is facing, one can see how the cost of these campaigns is going through the roof.

A $200,000 media buy buys a few 30-second slivers of time to get ideas and views out on the public airwaves. It takes just a moment to purchase it, and if a person gets up to get a sandwich in the kitchen, they miss that 30-second ad. It requires asking 4,000 people to make a $50 campaign contribution.

It is interesting to me that as we spend more and more money on television in these campaigns, as we do our best to get our message out, our market -- the voters of America -- has responded by refusing to vote.

If you ran a company and said, "We are not selling enough of our product, let's increase the marketing budget"; and after a quarter or two, you brought in the marketing department and said, "How are you doing?" and they said, "We have doubled the marketing budget"; you went to the sales department and asked, "How are you doing?" and they said, "Sales are down" -- that is what is happening in political campaigns. The marketing budget is increasing, but we are not making the sales to the American people. They are not buying what we are selling.

Why? Because, frankly, the whole process has been tainted. It has been tainted by the expense, by the involvement of special interest groups, and by the fact that so many candidates, myself included, spend so many waking hours trying to raise money to launch an effective campaign such as in a State as large as the State of Illinois.

This amendment is an important step forward because here is what it does: This amendment says that we are going to eliminate class distinctions for air time for candidates under the current statute. We are going to make time purchases nonpreemptible, we are going to allow political parties the benefit of the lowest unit charge, and we are going to require random audits in designated market areas to check compliance.

We cannot say to the TV station how much it charges, but we can say they cannot run their ad rates up right before an election, as so many stations have done, and then drop them precipitously as soon as the election is over.

All of this money going to television stations from political campaigns is, frankly, good for their business, but it is not good for America. Let us remember our responsibility: to make sure the airwaves are used in a manner that serves all the people in this country, not just serving the needs to make a profit. Sadly, that is what has been done too many times in the past.

I hope we will see an increase in voter participation, but I hope we will also see an increase in interest in public issues by the networks and by the local stations. It is not enough for them to say that a few times, in what might not even be prime time before an election campaign, they are going to make their station available so there can be a debate among the candidates. It is not enough that they will give us the Sunday morning opportunities to talk on the shows. As good as that is, that just does not make it in terms of selling products -- they know that -- and in terms of convincing voters as to what we have at stake in these elections. I think it is time for these networks and television stations to be part of campaign finance reform. The original version of the McCain-Feingold bill included this reform, included efforts to address the television and radio costs which candidates face that was taken out of the bill for reasons I don't know, but it should be brought forth.

If we are going to have real campaign finance reform, then we definitely have to make sure we are getting candidates an opportunity to purchase time at affordable rates. Otherwise, we are going to find the cost of campaigning continuing to skyrocket and the sources of money for candidates drying up as we cut off soft money, as we cut off other sources. I think this amendment is critically important.

When they asked these stations how much time they would give of their own time during the course of the campaign in a survey, it is interesting what they found. A national study released by the University of Southern California's Norman Lear Center, on February 5, 2001, of 74 local stations, found that the typical local television station spent less than 1 minute of air time a night on candidate discourse in the final month of the 2000 campaign -- less than a minute.

The study found all but one local station failed to meet a voluntary public industry standard that they air 5 minutes a night of candidate- centered discourse in the 30 nights before the election. Stations in the survey that indicated they would try to meet the standard, which was just 7 percent of the Nation's 1,300 local stations, averaged 2 minutes and 17 seconds a night.

It is no surprise the broadcasting industry, which has profited so much from political campaign spending, also vigorously resists any campaign finance reform which touches them. The media industry, since 1996, has spent over $111 million lobbying Congress, partly to block campaign finance reform bills that included any kind of discounted or free candidate air time. The number of registered media-related lobbyists has increased from 234 in 1996 to 284 in 1999. The amount spent rose in 1999 to $31.4 million, up 26.4 percent from the 1996 amount. This is big business. This is big profit. They have a lot at stake.

I hope at the end of this debate we will enact this amendment, an amendment I have cosponsored with Senator Torricelli, Senator Corzine, and Senator Dorgan. If we do not address the real costs of campaigns, the demand side of the ledger, we are not going to serve the need of real campaign finance reform.

We learn best when involved in the middle of a situation. Anyone who runs for office from my State of California knows it is all about television. In its wisdom, our founders said if you come from a State that has 500,000 people, you get 2 Senators; you come from a State that has 34 million people, like my State, you get 2 Senators. It is very difficult in a large State to personally meet but a very small percentage of the people. So we must rely on television. That is the only way.

What has happened, and the chart shows this, in California, the broadcasters have taken tremendous advantage of this situation. To say the costs are unreasonable is an understatement. They are confiscatory. They are taking 80 percent or 90 percent of our budget after we pay our overhead. TV was so expensive in my last race I couldn't even afford to have much radio. I didn't even have any left over for radio. I raised $20 million and huge sums went to television.

The facts are, when we approached the TV stations, we thought we were entitled to get the lowest rate because that is, in fact, the law. However, it is a little bit similar to airline seats. If you see airline seats advertised, they say we have a special fare from Los Angeles to New York; it is really cheap, $100. Call up and they say: Sorry, those seats are sold. Therefore, you have to spend $1,000. It is a little bit similar.

When we went to the broadcasters and asked to buy time and asked for the lowest rate, which is required by law, they would say: Absolutely, we will give you that rate. But be warned, if someone else comes along and wants to pay more, you cannot retain that spot.

Again, everyone knows if you are running for the Senate you need to reach people when they are up and about. Otherwise, it doesn't pay. If you say, fine, bump me to another spot, you could be having your commercial aired at 3 o'clock or 4 o'clock in the morning. Not that many people will see it. So they have you in a very difficult situation.

Los Angeles is the second most expensive media market. Senator Torricelli's chart shows basically the average 30-second spot is almost $35,000 in a good time slot. By the way, I once wanted to buy a couple of slots, and I was told it was $50,000, but let's just say about $35,000. Under the Torricelli amendment, it comes down 75 percent. That is a very big difference.

The fact is, this is a very good amendment. I am very much for the McCain-Feingold bill. I will be opposed to amendments that I think are not good amendments, are not meritorious amendments, and cannot be defended and might make this veto bait. It would be hard to imagine that George W. Bush could look at what the broadcasters are doing to candidates, some of whom are struggling very hard to get the money they need, and will take the side of the broadcasters who are laughing all the way to the bank, nodding their head, saying: We really got them this time.

I have good relationships with the communications industry in my State, good relations with the TV people, the radio people, but I have asked over and over again, how can they sleep at night knowing what the people who own airwaves in this country get so people can find out what candidates stand for. It is almost impossible unless you are independently wealthy or just raise huge sums of money.

In closing, which I would have done if I had the opportunity, I believe there are certain amendments that strengthen this underlying bill. This is one of those amendments. It strengthens the underlying bill. It makes it even better. It gets at a situation that is out of control. I will be supporting this amendment.

Mr. President, what we are talking about on this amendment is something called the lowest unit rate. The spirit of the law that was passed was that candidates could have the lowest unit rate charged to them by broadcasters so campaigns would be less expensive and candidates could get their message out to the masses.

The Senator from California just talked about how expensive it is in her State to advertise. I cannot even imagine, coming from a State like Nevada with only 2 million people, what it is like in a State like California with 34 million people. But I can tell you, having been through 4 campaigns in the last 8 years, that advertising costs on television have skyrocketed. The State of Nevada, during that same 8- year period of time, grew by approximately 50 percent. It was the fastest growing State in the country. So you would expect television time to go up by a significant amount -- maybe by 70 percent or 80 percent, as it has in other parts of the country. But in Nevada, even though we have only grown by 50 percent, our advertising rates have gone up by as much as 300 percent to 400 percent. That is at least 6 times faster than the rate the population has grown.

My first congressional campaign was the most expensive congressional campaign ever in the State of Nevada. I spent around $700,000, and my opponent spent around $800,000. Now a typical congressional race in the State of Nevada will cost somewhere between $1.5 to $2 million. That is a significant change of cost in just 8 years. And almost every dime of that increase has come from the increase in the cost of television advertising.

The broadcasters were just visiting me back here in Washington D.C. and we had a discussion about the lowest unit rate and what that means for a congressional campaign. During my first campaign we bought time for the most part on the lowest unit rate. But in the last couple of campaigns, candidates have not been able to use the lowest unit rate because when you place an ad, that ad is probably going to be bumped by a higher paying customer. There is so much competition for certain time slots on television that those commercials always get bumped, and what you end up with is terrible placement and you do not get your message out to the people you are trying to reach.

My advisers in the last two campaigns have insisted we not buy the lowest unit rate because you cannot direct your message to the people to whom you want to direct it. So we are always forced to buy the most expensive slot in order for our message to be effective. In addition, at the end of a campaign cycle, the broadcasters' rates skyrocket.

The broadcasters used to dread campaigns because that was the time of year they made the least amount of money because of this lowest unit rate. Now it is one of their favorite times of the year because it is actually one of their highest profit margin times of year. This certainly was not the intent of the legislation that brought about the lowest unit rate.

Before I yield the floor I want to address one final issue. Broadcasters have the airwaves for free, and the justification for this is that they provide a very important public service to local communities by providing news and local politics.

I talked to the Nevada broadcasters about this last week. While I would say in this election their coverage improved -- and more of the campaigns were covered during this time it was still pathetic.

When you consider how much time is spent on a sensational television story, as compared to the time spent on a message or a story that actually affects the lives of the vast majority of people in our States, I think you will agree that many of these local broadcasts across the country spend a small percentage of their time actually delivering important public service to the communities.

So I think it is the responsibility of the broadcasters to not only accept what we are trying to do with the lowest unit rate, and the spirit of the law of the lowest unit rate, but also we need to call on the broadcasters to cover more of our politics, so that we get more people involved in the political system.

To close on this, even though I believe the broadcasters have made progress in my State, we need to keep the pressure on them because we are seeing such a low voter turnout. If we cannot get our message as candidates to the general public, we cannot get them inspired to come out and participate in elections.

Just to conclude, it is an encouraging sign we have heard nothing but strong support for the amendment offered by our colleague from New Jersey. I think the argument is quite clear. The facts have been laid out about as clearly as possible. There is clearly a loophole, to put it mildly -- maybe something more serious occurs -- when the lowest unit rate is not being recognized in major media market after major market all across this country, thus raising the cost of campaigns.

Part of the idea was, of course, to have the lowest unit rate so people's voices could be heard during election season to hopefully enlighten and educate the public about the choices they would make. I do not want to say that is necessarily what occurs in every 30-second or 1-minute ad that the public is subjected to, but nevertheless the idea is the unit cost would be the lowest rate so the cost of campaigns would not get out of hand, which obviously what has occurred in the last few years.

The charts Senator Corzine used, and Senator Torricelli, showed the exponential growth in the cost of campaigns. While there are a lot of reasons that has occurred, there is no reason any more clear than the rising cost of television advertising.

Mr. President, I thank my good friend from Connecticut. I also thank Senators Torricelli and Corzine for bringing this important issue to the forefront of this debate because clearly we are not going to be able to have the kind of campaign finance reform that many of us are hoping will come out of this process if we do not address the most expensive aspect of modern-day campaigns.

Hillary Clinton

As we all know, that is the advertising that we have to do in order to communicate with voters about where we stand on issues. It is a particular challenge in large States. But it is a national one that all of my colleagues face.

The Torricelli amendment, which would amend the Communications Act of 1934, would require that the lowest unit rate be provided to committees of political parties or candidates purchasing time. I think that is in the best interest of our democracy. I certainly believe it is the kind of reform that goes to the real heart of what the money chase is all about.

Hillary Clinton

I think a lot of us would like to be able to turn the clock back to the days that some of our colleagues can remember, but for most of us, we just read about it, where you could literally go out into a town square or out in the countryside, set up a little platform, visit with constituents, make a speech, keep on going, and reach most of the people who were going to vote for you or make a decision on an important issue. Those days are long gone. The television broadcast networks know they are the means by which we must communicate.

Hillary Clinton

I think this amendment is not only fair but long overdue. I commend the Senator from New Jersey for bringing it to the floor. I hope the television industry recognizes that there is an effort to not just have a level playing field but fulfill what many of us thought was the bargain; that when we use the public airwaves for communications -- and those communications are basically controlled by the companies that have been given, in my opinion, the privilege of having those airwaves -- that there has to be some way they give back to keep the first amendment alive, to keep democracy going. I am just so pleased that we are going to have a chance to vote on it.
