Chris Dodd
Mr. President, I saw my colleague from Minnesota, but I guess he is not now on the floor. We have a couple minutes. My colleague from Kentucky and I talked about this the other day. He makes a very good point about the declining participation in the checkoff system. In fact, the dollar amounts have been raised. If my friend from Kentucky is correct, originally it was $1 for the checkoff. You are not paying more in taxes. It is the money you send in. The checkoff of $1 of your tax returns would be used for the public financing of Presidential races. That number then went up to $3 because there were fewer and fewer people who were actually doing the voluntary checkoff.

His numbers, I believe, are correct. We have seen a decline in the number of people who are voluntarily checking off that $3 of their Federal taxes they are sending in or that are being withheld to be used for these Presidential races.

I am worried about that because I think there is an underlying cause for this. The debate we are having about campaign finance reform, while we are not going to adopt public financing for congressional races despite the fact there is a lot of merit going that route in terms of dealing with the constitutional problems that exist in the absence of having some public financing, there is an underlying reason that I think contributes to that declining statistic, and that is the people are disgusted with the whole process.

I do not think it is people's lack of patriotism or their lack of understanding how important it is to contribute to strengthening our democracy. People are getting fed up. Witness that last year despite the overwhelming amount of attention and advertising on a national Presidential race, a race that included Ralph Nader and the Green Party, there was Pat Buchanan and the Reform Party, the Democratic candidate, Al Gore, and his running mate from my home State, Joe Lieberman; President Bush and Richard Cheney. Out of 200 million eligible voters in this country, only 100 million participated. One out of every two eligible voters in this country decided they were not going to make a choice for President of the United States and Vice President, not to mention the congressional races, the Senate races, and gubernatorial races that occurred.

On the Federal election for the leader of the oldest continuous democracy in the world, one out of every two adults in this country said they were not going to participate. I know some may have had legitimate excuses, but I suspect a significant majority of those who did not participate knew it was election day, did not have some overriding family matter that caused them to miss voting. I think they made a conscious decision not to vote. I think they decided they were not going to show up, and I cannot express in our native language adequately the deep, deep concern I have over that fact and what appears to be a growing number of people.

I hear it particularly among younger people. I visit a lot of high schools in my home State of Connecticut. I get a sense that too many of our younger people are embracing the notions held by one out of every two adult Americans in the last election, that they are not going to participate by showing up to choose the leader of our country. I suspect that a good part of the reason is that people are just disgusted by what they see and how elections are run when they see this mindless advertising, these 30-second spots, the attack ads that go after each other as if this was somehow an athletic contest rather than a debate of ideas where we are talking about the future of our country and what the priorities of a nation ought to be.

I, too, am very concerned with the declining statistics that my friend from Kentucky has identified, but I think it is more a poll not about public financing, I think it is a poll we ought to pay attention to, what the American people are saying, at least in the majority of cases, I believe: We think the system is not working very well. We think the system is out of control. We think there is too much money in politics; that our voices do not get heard; that we cannot afford to participate in these contests where contributions of $1,000, now $2,000 per individual, that people can write a check now for $37,500 if this McCain-Feingold bill is adopted.

Last year -- I said this over and over in the past week and a half -- there were only 1,200 people in this country who wrote the maximum check of $25,000; 1,200 people out of 280 million Americans. We now have raised that because this hasn't been enough. We are told you can't finance these campaigns with maximum contributions of $25,000 in Federal elections. We are raising it to $37,500. That is per individual, per year. Double that for a primary election. That gets you to $75,000. Of course, if it is a husband and wife, it is $150,000. We had to debate that. I commend my colleague from California who negotiated that number down.

Those who wanted that number higher wanted $100,000 per individual, $200,000 for a husband and wife. We are told the system is financially bankrupt. We don't have enough money in politics, we are told.

That has more to do with these declining numbers of people voluntarily checking off for some of their tax dollars to be used to publicly finance the Presidential races in America. I am hopeful the adoption of the McCain-Feingold bill, if it is adopted, will at least turn people's opinion in a direction that says at least we are beginning to do something about these elections.

For those reasons, I commend, again, the principal authors of this bill and those who are supporting it. But I don't think it is enough. People are still turned off, to put it mildly, on how the races are run and on how politics is conducted. There will always be some; I am not suggesting we will get 100-percent participation. I oppose any laws that require people to vote as some countries do. We better do a lot better job in convincing more than just one out of two adult Americans they ought to participate in choosing the leaders of our Nation than we presently are.

If those numbers continue to decline and we trail the rest of the world as we lecture them about democracy and the importance of participating, I will say again, you put this country in peril and these institutions that have survived for more than 200 years, and the public support for them will decline. That, more than anything else, is what ought to preoccupy the attention of each and every one of us, regardless of our views on the particular aspects of amendments. Every single one of us privileged to serve in this Chamber, who have a voice and vote on how we might conduct the political debate in this Nation, needs to take notice of what the American public is saying when they go to the polls or don't go to the polls on election day and exercise their right that people have spilled blood for, for over two centuries, not only in our first great revolution but in a civil war that threatened to divide and destroy this country, through two world wars, wars in the 20th century and other such contests in which Americans, in countless numbers, lost their lives to protect and defend.

We are not asked to put our lives on the line. We voluntarily seek these positions. If we are fortunate enough to be chosen by our constituents to be here, we bear a very high degree of responsibility during the brief amount of time the Good Lord gives us to represent the constituencies that have chosen us to do what is right, not only for our own time but that future generations will inherit, as we have inherited, from the sacrifices of those who came before us, the privilege of being here to see to it that this wonderful ideal and vision of democracy is perpetuated throughout this country for, hopefully, centuries to come.

For those reasons, I hope while this amendment may be rejected, we could find more common ground between Democrats and Republicans on how to restore the public's confidence in the electoral process in this country. That is at the heart of what McCain-Feingold is all about, despite all the debates about various minutiae in the bill or ideas to be added to it. Our solemn responsibility, in addition to dealing with the issues of the day, is to see to it the process by which we choose people to make those decisions enjoys the broad-based support of the American public. It is in jeopardy today. We better take it more seriously than we are.

Joe Biden
Mr. President, I rise today in support of the amendment being offered by my friend and colleague from Iowa, Senator Harkin. Earlier this week, Senator Kerry and I offered a similar amendment that called for voluntary spending limits and partial public financing. Senator Harkin's amendment differs in some respects to the proposal that we offered, but it still seeks to alleviate the same problem: How can we reduce the obscene amount of special interest money that is being spent in Senate campaigns today? And while I know that Senator Harkin's amendment will not pass, I nevertheless believe that it is truly needed to reform our campaign finance system.

Joe Biden
Since 1976, while the general cost of living has tripled, total spending on congressional campaigns has gone up eightfold. For the winning candidates, the average House race went from $87,000 to $816,000 in 2000. And here on the Senate side, winners spent an average of $609,000 in 1976, but last year that average shot up to $7 million.

The FEC estimates that last year more than $1.8 billion in federally regulated money was spent on federal campaigns alone, and that doesn't even count the huge amount of soft money that went into attempts to influence federal elections. That has been roughly estimated to reach as high as nearly another $700 million.

I have been calling for public financing of congressional campaigns for a very long time: since 1973, my first year in this body. And, as my colleagues who have been here for a while know, I have taken to this floor again and again over the years to urge us to solve the public's crisis in confidence and do the right thing.

To be clear, I would prefer full public financing of campaigns that would reduce spending and completely eliminate the link between special interest money and candidates. I have long held that such a system is the only true, comprehensive reform that would help restore the American people's faith in our democracy and allow candidates to compete on an equal footing where the merits of their ideas outweigh the size of their pocketbook.

But as the problems in our system have escalated in recent years, so too has my despair over our failure to see real reforms enacted, not just debated. That is why I am here again to see that we take at least a step toward achieving these much needed reforms. Senator Harkin's amendment is one such step, and urge my colleagues to support it.

Mr. President, we have been prepared for 2 months now to have this full debate and votes on amendments, and to actually get to a conclusion. Senator McCain and I have talked, and Senator McConnell and I have talked, and the agreement all along was that we would have amendments, full debate for 2 weeks, and then we would go to a conclusion.

I assure the Senate that we are going to do that. We can do it tonight at a reasonable hour, we can do it at midnight, or Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. But I think we have a responsibility to complete action on this bill.

I hope the concern I have now that maybe amendments are going to start multiplying when, in fact, there are no more than one or two amendments that really are still critical that are out there to be offered and debated and voted on -- maybe there are more. And I don't want to demean any Senator's amendment, but we have been on this now for the agreed-to almost 2 weeks. Anybody who thinks that by just beginning to drag this out and coming up with more amendments, we will carry it over until next week, that is not going to be the case.

Everybody has labored -- sometimes with difficulty -- to be fair with each other and give this thing a full airing and get some results, and you can debate about whether they are good or bad as long as you want to. At some point, we have to vote and move on.

We have very serious problems in this country. We need to address them. We have to pass a budget resolution. We have to take into consideration the needs of the country in terms of funding for programs, whether it is education, agriculture, defense, health care. We need to take whatever actions we can to provide confidence and a boost in job security and the economy. We have an energy crisis that will not go away. We need to get on to those issues.

Again, not to demean this issue at all -- it is very important -- but we will have done what we promised to do, and now it is time we begin to look for the conclusion and be prepared to move on to other issues next week. I just wanted to remind Senators on both sides of our discussion and my commitment to follow up with the agreement.

I thank the majority leader, and I thank Senator McConnell and Senator Dodd, who have managed this bill, I think, with efficiency and, I believe, in a total environment of cooperation.

John McCain
But as we said all during last week, a couple times when we only had two or three amendments, we intended to be done by tonight or the end of this week. We have disposed of some. We will have an amendment that I think is very important that is about to be addressed soon. After that, there are not any major issues. We should finalize this bill so that we can move forward and none of us has to stay here over the weekend.

I want to say the majority leader is correct. We all agreed that we could get this thing done in 2 weeks if we allowed the 2 weeks. So there is no reason whatsoever that we should not enter into time agreements on specific amendments and a time for a final vote on this amendment.

I thank Senator McCain. That discussion was not just between Senator McCain and me, but also with the Democratic leader, Senator Feingold -- we were all in the loop. We all had an understanding of how we would bring this to an eventual conclusion.

I say to the distinguished majority leader, nobody more passionately opposes this bill than I do, but I am prepared to move to final passage today. There is one important amendment left on nonseverability, which is about to be the pending business before the Senate.

I will be happy to, Mr. President. First of all, the past week and a half has been a rather remarkable week and a half in the Senate. We have had very few quorum calls. I do not know the total number of amendments we have considered, but they have been extensive, back and forth.

We dealt yesterday with the opposition's efforts to raise the hard number limits, and now a severability amendment from the opposition. Those are fundamentally important amendments but amendments that may try to enhance and strengthen the bill from those who support the legislation are a cat or a dog.

Our list has not expanded, I say to the majority leader. The list of amendments is about the same as it has been. There are about 12 or 13 amendments. There is a list of 21, which has been the consistent number for the past week. We just dealt with one of them -- Senator Harkin's -- this morning. It was laid down last night. Senator Bingaman, Senator Durbin, Senator Dorgan, and Senator Levin come to mind immediately. I think Senator Clinton as well. These do not require much time.

We are prepared to move forward, I say to the majority leader, and if it takes going into tonight, going into tomorrow to finish it up, Saturday, or Sunday, whatever it takes, because I know we want to finish the bill, we fully respect that. I support that.

I have an obligation -- if I can complete this thought. There are those on this side who support McCain-Feingold, and have for years, who have ideas they think will enhance and strengthen this legislation. While this is an important amendment we are about to consider, there are other amendments that should be heard.

I hope my colleagues will respect the rights of Members to offer amendments and be heard on them. There certainly is no effort over here to delay this at all. We will stay here however long, I am told by the leadership. Unfortunately, the Democratic leader cannot be here at this moment, but I am told he takes the position that if it takes being here all weekend, we will be here all weekend to complete it.

I want everybody to understand that I am prepared to do that, too. Instead of that being a threat, it is a promise, No. 1, but No. 2, it is to urge Senators to work with the managers to identify the amendments we are going to have to consider, and if it can be done by voice vote, let us get time agreements on them. We should be prepared to move to table, if that is what is required, too.

I know, for instance, Senator Lieberman and Senator Thompson have an amendment, one of the outstanding amendments. Maybe it can be worked out. Senator Bingaman has one that has been worked out. It is important to note there is a good-faith effort obviously to complete this work, but I do not want to see us put in a position now, having considered a lot of these amendments, that we are going to start telling people who have had amendments pending -- Senator Durbin has been on me and talking to me for the past 10 days about when can he bring his amendment up; also Senator Harkin and Senator Levin.

I have been trying to orchestrate this the best I can, but I do not want them put in the position of all of a sudden because we completed the amendments the opponents of the legislation care the most about, that we are going to deny or curtail in some way the rights of other Senators who care just as deeply about their proposals and not provide adequate time for them to be heard.

I said this morning, I have been working trying to help Senator Dodd. One of my assignments has been to work with individual Senators. We have had people, as Senator Dodd indicated, who have been waiting the entire 9 days we have been on this floor to offer amendments. They come to me and Senator Dodd a couple times a day.

Looking at simple mathematics, I say to the majority leader, it is going to be really hard to do this. If we cut down the time by two- thirds, it is still going to get us into sometime tomorrow. If that is the case, that is the case.

I say to Senator Reid, he always does good work, not just with Senator Dodd but with this side, too. He is an ombudsman for us all. We do not want to cut off anybody, but all I am saying is we are going to complete this bill this week and everybody needs to know that. If we go into Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, I only have one commitment, and I really did not want to do it anyway, so I will be delighted to stay here.

Bill Frist
Mr. President, I rise to speak to the amendment which has been offered by myself and Senator Breaux that I believe gives us the opportunity -- and I encourage my colleagues to pay attention to the debate over the next 2 or 3 hours because it gives us the opportunity to assess where we are today in the bill, as amended, and to understand the implications for each of us, for people who are interested in participating in the political process both today and also for years to come.

I am going to refer back, again, to set the big picture and then update my colleagues, to a diagram that I believe is important. It is simple, but sometimes when we look at all these lines, it is confusing, and that is the nature of the whole campaign finance apparatus. This chart summarizes that when you pull or push in one area, it has effects throughout the system. It is very important because the issue we are addressing is what is called the nonseverability and the severability clause in the underlying McCain-Feingold bill.

Money flows into the system from the top of my chart down to the bottom. This is the political process. At the top of the chart is where money comes from, and it is all these blue lines. My colleagues do not need to focus on what these blue lines are right now, but I do want them to focus on the funnels, where this money is collected and where it goes.

We have the individual candidate who can receive money from individuals, and we will talk about what we did yesterday in increasing what I call the contribution limits in terms of the hard dollars, the Federal dollars.

There have been changes to the underlying McCain-Feingold bill that are very positive. What angers people the most is that the individual candidate is losing his or her voice today. It might be a challenger; it might be an incumbent. Over time, because of the erosion from inflation on the one hand, without any adjustments in the Federal dollars of the hard dollars, but also the increasing influence, this is what angers the American people, the influence issue groups, special interest groups have on the system, all of which, if it grows too much, will overshadow and overwhelm the voice of the individual candidate.

They might be talking education, Medicare reform, military defense of the country, but the issue group, the unions, the corporations right now that have to disclose very little, because very little is regulated in this arena, have become increasingly powerful at the expense of the individual candidate who is out there doing his or her best, traveling across Tennessee or across any State in this country with a voice that no longer is being heard.

The Democratic Party and the Republican Party are in this box on this chart, and we traditionally have been able to collect both Federal hard dollars and soft or non-Federal dollars. Again, it all has been disclosed. Everything in the green on the chart is fully disclosed. You can hold people accountable to that.

That is where the party system has worked. Our party system has traditionally worked to accentuate or amplify the voice of the individual candidate. You can see that the party hard money goes to the individual candidate, the soft money subsequently will be used to reinforce that voice of the individual candidate.

It is very important to understand this role of the party has real value in a system today which has changed radically, which, unfortunately, has pulled the power away from the individual candidate over to the corporations, unions, the special issue groups, groups created specifically around an issue used to overpower the voice of the individual candidate.

Again, this part of the chart -- the party hard and party soft money, PACs, and individual candidates -- has very little disclosure by corporations, unions, issue groups -- very little in terms of accountability or regulation.

What have we done? This is where we are today having not passed the underlying bill as of yet. What have we done over the last 10 days of the discussion? We have had good amendments today that have been debated in a very thoughtful way. We saw the earlier chart with the funnels still on the chart.

Yesterday, we increased the contribution limits. We already had contributions defined historically but we increased the hard dollar limits for the individual candidates. We argued yesterday. Some people were for, some were against, and a compromise was reached. We have to point out the fact that the value of the individual contributions, even in what we approved yesterday, is not the same value we gave it in 1974 because it does not meet a correction for inflation. That was increased yesterday. That helps a little bit. Again, it is not up to 1974 standards, but it helps to give more voice to the individual candidate. That is why that is important. That is why you had the people who feel strongest about reform coming forward saying, absolutely, on both sides of the aisle, we have to increase these limits that individual candidates can receive.

Second, the underlying McCain-Feingold bill does something very important. I am spending time with this because we have to see that the compromise achieved in McCain-Feingold has resulted in a balance. We have to be very careful not to disrupt. Not us in the Senate. We have spoken on it through an amendment earlier this morning, but we had the careful balance disrupted by the courts, resulting in a detrimental impact on the overall system, which does the opposite of what we as elected officials want or the American people want -- making the system worse.

Bill Frist
No. 2, McCain-Feingold, as amended today, increased contribution limits but takes out party soft money from individuals, through corporations, unions, issue groups through sponsorships. All the soft money that comes to the parties is gone. That just about wipes out 50 percent of what the Republican Party, say, of the Senate, has, along with the impact it can have. So it diminishes our voice perhaps 20 percent, perhaps 50 percent, perhaps 60 percent. Whatever our voice is now, which, again, is fully disclosed, highly regulated, where we can be held accountable, aimed at giving voice to the individual candidate, it, today, if McCain-Feingold passed, now is gone. Why? Because we have eliminated the soft party money.

The third key point applying to our amendment, you can see we are wiping out the party soft money which gives voice to the individual candidate. The balancing act achieved in the underlying McCain-Feingold bill is that, since we restricted speech, or we rationed political discourse, or we have in some way put restrictions on the use of resources that affect speech, you sure better do it out here as well. If you don't, I guarantee the money will keep coming to the system, and the money instead of coming here will all flow to the area of least resistance. That is, the special interest groups, the unions, the corporations.

Now I have dollar signs indicated on this chart and I will come back to that. They don't mean anything in terms of overall quantity. Qualitatively, you can see the individual candidate spends money, the party spends money, the party soft money is gone under McCain-Feingold. The restrictions put in for constitutional reasons are the Snowe- Jeffords amendment; we voted on it earlier today.

Put restrictions on speech party soft money here, and you counterbalance that with restricting speech or rationing speech or basically saying 60 days before an election you can't engage fully in political speech under the Jeffords-Snowe provision.

It attempts to limit the role and influence of special interest versus candidates and parties through the electioneering provision. It doesn't take care of direct mail, phone calls, or get out the vote. That money can come over and include that, but the electioneering, the broadcast provisions are of Snowe-Jeffords. I will come back to that.

Bill Frist
The careful balance, achieved by a compromise, no question. As we have gone through this process and as McCain-Feingold was developed in negotiation, it is a compromise, trying to achieve balance. The underlying bill tried to achieve balance and the two provisions we are talking about today are underlying provisions. They are not amendments added on, a poison pill, but two existing provisions we will link together in this narrow, highly targeted nonseverability clause. Those are linking party soft money with the Snowe-Jeffords provision.

McCain-Feingold has attempted to achieve balance by eliminating party soft money and having the Snowe-Jeffords provision. That balance has been achieved as crafted by the authors in the original bill and not altered by amendments. That is very important because people will say what about the Wellstone amendment. That is not part of this. It is the underlying provisions. McCain-Feingold is built on that basic understanding I have just outlined.

I argue that the last thing we want to do is upset that balance for the reasons I said. We have the potential for opening the floodgates if we allow party money to be eliminated and all of a sudden we remove, for constitutional reasons or a court does later, the Snowe-Jeffords amendment.

The next chart will show what would happen if all of a sudden we took the restrictions off here and said Snowe-Jeffords is unconstitutional, that is what the courts decided would happen. This is what, potentially, might happen if our amendment does not happen.

Again, this side of the chart is basically the same as McCain- Feingold. We have eliminated the party. As I have said, if you take the restriction on speech, the Snowe-Jeffords restriction on speech, off, the money is going to still come into the system and it can't go this way. It can't go to individual candidates because we have limits there, the hard money limits. It has nowhere to go but to flow to the area of least resistance, and the area of least resistance is corporations, unions, issue groups that all of a sudden have unregulated, no-limits, no-caps -- for good constitutional reasons, I argue -- and you can see the dollar signs. Ultimately, we do exactly what we don't want to do. We increase the interest and the role and the power of the special interests versus the individual candidates and the parties.

As to the specifics of the amendment, first of all, it addresses this balance. Second, it is narrow, it is targeted, and it is focused. The media has been saying this is a poison pill because if you strike down one part of McCain-Feingold the whole bill falls. That is wrong. That is false. This is narrow and targeted. It does not apply to the whole bill. It links just the two provisions, the Snowe-Jeffords provision with the ban on soft money -- nothing else. The linkage is for a good reason. It is because the impact on one has an impact on the other. They are complementary; they are intertwined. That is why that nonseverability is absolutely critical to prevent the possibility of this happening.

The nonseverability clause ties together just those two provisions and nothing else. When I say it is narrowly tailored, a narrowly tailored nonseverability clause, it is basically because everything else will stand. If the Snowe-Jeffords provision is ruled to be unconstitutional and therefore the cap is released, the party soft money elimination will be invalid; again, coming back to the original balance. Other provisions in the bill stand. It is just those two. The other provisions, which will not be affected by this nonseverability clause, are provisions such as the increased disclosure for party committees, the provision clarifying that the ban on foreign contributions includes soft money, the clarification of the ban on raising political money on Federal Government property. All of that stands. We are talking about just these two provisions to which I have spoken.

The provisions on independent versus coordinated expenditures by political parties are unaffected by this amendment. The coordination provisions of the bill, the portions of the bill such as tightening the definition of independent expenditures, the provisions providing increased reporting of independent expenditures -- again, all of these provisions of the McCain-Feingold bill are not excluded as a part of our amendment today. It has to be one of the two provisions to which I have spoken.

Another point I want to mention, and it will probably be talked about over the next couple of hours, is the fact that this narrowly targeted nonseverability clause also provides a process for expedited judicial review of any court challenges to these two provisions. The purpose of that clearly is that challenges -- we don't want to be held up in court with a lot of indecision over the years.

All this does, as part of this nonseverability clause, its purpose, is to provide that if the provisions of this legislation that restrict the ever-louder voice of the issue ads -- which, again, are poorly disclosed and poorly regulated -- are declared unconstitutional, just the Snowe-Jeffords provisions, then the provision that weakens the voice of the individual candidate and of the party would not be enforceable.

Bill Frist
Simply put, sort of boiling it down: The person running for public office will not be left out here defenseless, without any voice, if our effort in McCain-Feingold as the Snowe-Jeffords provision falls, if the courts say no, we are going to take this cap off here -- which clearly, just looking at the dollar signs, would put the individual candidates again at a point where they are almost helpless as they are trying to make their point.

Let me answer one question because we were talking as if this were a poison pill because people bring in editorials saying this is a poison pill. It is clear, a poison pill, to me, is if you give somebody a pill and they drop dead and they are gone. We are not adding a new entity or provision to the bill. All we are doing is linking two provisions that are already in the bill. They are in the underlying McCain-Feingold bill. They are not amendments that have been added that are trying to poison the bill.

Proponents of the bill -- we heard it a lot this morning -- told us time and time again that this is constitutional, Snowe-Jeffords is constitutional, the ban on party soft money is constitutional. If people really believe that, I think proponents of the bill have nothing to fear by this linkage in our nonseverability proposal.

As we look at what I have presented, we should take this opportunity to look realistically at what is happening in campaigns and campaign finance reform: The sources of money, how it is being spent, whether or not it is disclosed, and where the money is going. In all this we need to make absolutely sure we do not muffle the voices and diminish that role of the individual candidates out there while increasing the role of the special interests or the unions or the corporations.

Mr. President, I thank my colleague from Tennessee, Senator Frist, who has done his usual excellent job in laying out his case. I think the concern that is being expressed is a valid concern, in that we need to keep in mind the totality of the system as we are addressing this issue. That is one of the things that makes me feel good about what happened yesterday, because I think that is exactly what we were doing.

If we, for example, had lost Snowe-Jeffords somewhere along the way and just had a soft money ban without any increases in the hard money limit, I think the potential problem that my colleague expressed would really have been a significant one. I do not think that practical problem exists nearly as much as we feared, because even under a worst case scenario, if the disclosure and other provisions of the Snowe- Jeffords even were to fall and we lost soft money in the system -- which I think would be a good happening -- we have increases in the hard money limit. We have now doubled, under the original bill -- we have doubled the amount of money the candidate can have for his own campaign, $1,000 to $2,000; $4,000 in a primary, $4,000 in a general election. We have also increased the amount of money that can go to parties.

We did not increase it as much as I would like, but we increased it. We also increased the aggregate amount. We also increased and doubled the amount that parties can give to the candidates. We indexed all of it.

It is not that we are not in the same position we were when McCain- Feingold started. We have taken some significant steps in order to get some legitimate, controlled, limited, hard money into the hands of candidates and into the hands of parties that they didn't have when this debate began.

The problem that is being addressed today is one of the very kinds of things we were trying to address yesterday. I think this body effectively and overwhelmingly addressed it in the compromise amendment that we have. The proponents of the current amendment for nonseverability, however, make the case that we shouldn't risk the situation where the soft money limitations or abolitions and the Snowe- Jeffords requirements with regard to unions, corporations, and others would be struck down; that there would be an imbalance. My first point is that we corrected and I think significantly corrected that imbalance yesterday.

My second point would be that it is not exactly as if Snowe-Jeffords were some kind of a major happening in terms of the overall picture of any given campaign. In the first place, none of it kicks in 60 days before an election. So anything goes up until 60 days. Part of Snowe- Jeffords is simply a disclosure requirement. It doesn't have anything to do with money. A part of Snowe-Jeffords has to do with corporations and unions within the last 60 days and their expenditures, and that is a money situation.

Let's say that was knocked out, hypothetically. We are all talking hypothetically because obviously none of us knows what a court will do. We have argued the constitutionality of Snowe-Jeffords in the past. For the moment, let's hypothetically say that a 60-day restriction with regard to what corporations and unions could do, and nobody else -- no individuals, as Senator Wellstone pointed out, for example -- is a part of this. I compliment my friend for narrowly tailoring this legislation so we didn't have to deal with all of that. But that is knocked out.

Then we are knocking out some corporate and union money in the last 60 days of the campaign. That is not insignificant. But I am not sure, in the total context of things, that it is all that important. It certainly doesn't justify doing what we may be doing here in terms of nonseverability.

The first thing we need to understand about nonseverability and Congress passing a bill with a nonseverability provision in this is that it is extremely rare. It is rarely done. We asked the Congressional Research Service about it. Their information is that there have been 10 bills introduced or considered in the last 12 years that have had a nonseverability provision in them. They further say that there has only been one bill in the last 12 years where we have passed legislation that contained a nonseverability clause. It is extremely rare in the thousands of bills that passed during that period of time of 12 years. I said: How many public laws were there? They said 12,962. Out of 12,962 pieces of legislation, only 1 of them contained a nonseverability clause.

There was a principle established a long time ago in this country that is honored by Congress and is recognized by the judiciary -- that in a piece of legislation, which more likely than not will contain several provisions, you can have some parts of it that are constitutional and maybe one part that is not. Strike the unconstitutional part, says the Court, and leave the rest intact.

That is the normal way we have handled things in this country. It is based upon a concept that I think all of us honor and adhere and we talk a lot about. That is the concept of judicial restraint. We have recognized in this country for a long time -- and our courts have recognized for a long time -- that they should exercise judicial restraint and make constitutional rulings only when necessary. The courts have adopted their own rulings that militate in that direction and cause them not to go off and even consider constitutional issues unless they really have to. It is for the reasons that I explained: Because of the concept of restraint and the benefit we get as a country and that the judiciary gets for adopting judicial restraint, not reaching out to take on more than it should and look for opportunities to strike down laws when they are not even really directly presented to them, and so forth.

I think the Court said it very well in the case of Regan v. Time, Inc., with the Supreme Court plurality decision in 1984. This is a little long, but I think it is important because it gets to the heart of what I am saying.

I think that states it very well. In summary, I think it has been the law and the practice of the United States for many years. It is a valid one. I think we would all agree that it is a valid one.

Those are the circumstances. No. 1, the extreme rarity of the situation; No. 2, these longstanding principles that our judiciary has. Those are the foundation blocks as we approach this issue this time as a Congress.

What will be the legal effects of a nonseverability clause? Not only has Congress not legislated a nonseverability clause once in the last 12 years, but there are no cases ever in the history of the country where Federal courts have been called upon to construe a nonseverability clause.

We really are in uncharted waters here in terms of how such a clause might be interpreted. I fear we are getting into an area of unknown consequences, and potential perversive results that we don't fully appreciate.

What will be the probable result? As you think it through, you can see situations very readily that are going to produce perplexities, shall we say, that maybe we can resolve here on the floor -- I don't know -- and determine what intent the proponents have with regard to this amendment.

Article III of our Constitution says there must be a case in controversy before a person can bring a lawsuit, have it upheld. Any law professors out there, forgive me for my shorthand as I go through this. I want to touch on the general principles, and I hope I get them right.

If you are a litigant, someone challenging this act, you have to have standing. There is a criminal aspect to this statute; if you are a criminal and you are convicted, you have standing. As far as the civil aspects of it are concerned, in any kind of a situation, you have to have a case in controversy, and you have to have standing.

That means you have to be injured directly by the provision you are dealing with or have been convicted of. If the statute is in force, you will be injured, if you sustained injury or you face imminent injury, something like that, not just a general public kind of a potential injury. There was a case back in 1974 where some concerned citizens got together and sued the CIA because they were not disclosing their budget. The courts held that your interests are not any different from any other citizen. You have no standing in this lawsuit.

That little background has relevance because someone challenging these two provisions will refer to them as the soft money provision and the Snowe-Jeffords provision of the McCain-Feingold bill.

It has to do with how the cases would come up. If someone, let's say, was convicted under the soft money provision -- in other words, somebody sent some soft money to somebody they weren't supposed to after this law was passed, and they got caught doing that and they got charged with and got convicted of it, if you had severability, then that person would clearly have standing with regard to the soft money provision they were convicted of. That is all that would be at issue.

Presumably, if you had nonseverability the way that the proponents of this amendment would suggest, that person who is affected by the soft money provision that he is convicted of, presumably he could also challenge the Snowe-Jeffords part of the bill that has no relevance to him. If so, are we telling the Court, by means of this amendment, to give standing to this person to challenge Snowe-Jeffords when they are not affected by Snowe-Jeffords? If so, we are running afoul of article III because the Congress cannot give people substantive jurisdiction or grant constitutional standing for anyone such as that. If we were trying to do that, we certainly would not be exercising judicial restraint.

During the course of this debate, I hope we can agree on what we are trying to do by means of this amendment. Do we want to be able to allow someone who is affected by one provision to be able to challenge the other provision? That is the question. If the answer to that is, yes, then we can talk about the constitutional implications of that. If the answer to that is, no, that they can only challenge the provision they are affected by, then what about a fellow who is convicted under the soft money provisions, which is held to be constitutional? He goes to jail. Another person comes along, he is sued under the Snowe-Jeffords provision. That is held to be unconstitutional, which wipes out the entire legislation, under this amendment.

So you have the first individual sitting in jail for a period of time under an act that has been declared unconstitutional. Is that what we desire to do?

It is not as easy as it seems. That is one of the reasons Congress has never passed such a law as is being suggested that would allow this particular result. There has never been a Federal case on this subject. There have been a few lower court Federal cases deciding State law. Surprisingly, in some of those cases, in interpreting nonseverability provisions, they have ignored them.

I say to my friends, even if this nonseverability provision passes, which I hope it does not, there is a good chance the Court would ignore it. And, if not a good chance, depending on how it is interpreted as to what Congress' intent is, that it will be declared unconstitutional.

In other words, Congress, you can't tell us what is a case in controversy. You can't tell us that there is a case in controversy out there or that a person has standing in a case when he really doesn't. That is for us to decide. If you are attempting to intrude, you are violating the doctrine of separation of powers.

I hope my colleagues will not view this amendment favorably. It would be not only a reflection on us, but it wouldn't do the judiciary any good. We are in danger, if we pass this amendment, in one fell swoop, of doing something that would be hurtful to two branches of our Government: the legislative branch and the judicial branch -- the legislative branch, us, because after all these years, after 25 years we finally get around to addressing this issue, after going through and agreeing or disagreeing, but let's say agreeing on some fundamental principles that we believe ought to be passed, at the same time, in some cases supporting amendments which, in my estimation, pretty clearly have constitutional problems. I don't think that reflects well on us in what we ought to be doing and how we ought to be doing it. It doesn't reflect well on us when we threaten judicial independence or judicial restraint.

There are some broader principles involved. Those principles are involved here. So while I appreciate the concern that has been expressed in terms of balance, in terms of the need for balance -- and we saw part of that yesterday -- the portion of Snowe-Jeffords that deals with money is a fairly limited segment: Never done this before; treading in uncharted waters; trying to accomplish things we probably cannot, in the end, do.

Mr. President, I will turn to my colleague from Utah in a minute. First, I will take a moment to respond on our time to at least two of the comments made. It will take just a second.

I appreciate the comments that have been made. The first statement made was about the relative importance of the Snowe-Jeffords amendment. I think it is important because my whole argument is based on this balance of the linkage, the tie between the two. How important is Snowe-Jeffords -- the significance of not being able to go on the air 60 days prior to an election. We should not underestimate that because, really, it is the balance between giving the candidate voice and the special interest voice.

Our whole argument is if you are going to take voice away from one, you ought to take voice away from the other. If you are going to give one voice, give the other voice. I point out that Snowe-Jeffords is very important, and that is why we are targeting it in this narrowly targeted amendment. If you just look at special interests, which is in red on this chart, versus party ads, the issue ads, I think, disturb a lot of people. I can't say that all of these ads were in the last 60 days, but anybody who has watched campaigns knows it is really in the last 2 weeks of most of these campaigns, not 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks. The Snowe-Jeffords provision is 60 days. This is just to show that Snowe-Jeffords is critically important, and if we disrupt Snowe- Jeffords, get rid of that limitation on free speech, there will be an infusion of money even greater than today. The special interest ads -- again, the ads that Snowe-Jeffords is directed at -- amounted to about $347 million in the campaigns we just finished.

The party ad money, which is predominantly soft money, non-Federal money, was only $162 million. What we are basically saying is that if you are going to take off the restriction of Snowe-Jeffords and you are going to allow this money to come flowing into the system, the least we can do for the candidate out there is to allow the party to participate without unilaterally being challenged and overrun by special interests. So Snowe-Jeffords is critical.

No. 2 -- and other people will comment on this -- nonseverability may be rare, I guess, in the big scheme of things, but it has been done a lot -- in fact, three times on campaign finance reform, where you do bring people together and you have this rich interaction. Three times we voted for nonseverability clauses on this floor.

Not only is the Senator correct that the last three campaign finance reform bills that cleared the Senate had nonseverability clauses in them, the amendment we voted on a few moments ago -- the Harkin amendment, which was supported by 31 colleagues on the other side of the aisle -- had a nonseverability clause in it. In fact, the Senator from Tennessee is entirely correct.

When the subject turns to the first amendment and to the constitutional rights of Americans in these kinds of bills, it is the exception not to have a nonseverability clause in it. I am sure the other Senator from Tennessee was not suggesting that nobody would have standing to bring a case affecting so many different people's constitutional rights. I am confident, I say to my friend, the junior Senator from Tennessee, there will be some Americans who will have a standing to bring a suit against this case. I will be leading them. I thank the Senator from Tennessee.

Mr. President, I was interested to hear Senator Thompson say we are in uncharted waters, facing unknown results that we don't fully appreciate. That is the theme of my comments.

I go back to another philosopher, Mark Twain. I can't quote him exactly, but he has been quoted as saying something to the effect that "prophecy is a very iffy profession, particularly with respect to the future." That is where we are. We are all trying to divine what is going to happen in the future if McCain-Feingold passes, as I expect it will, and if it should be signed and upheld by the Supreme Court. What would we face?

Well, I read in the popular press that on the Democratic side, one of their leading campaign attorneys is telling them if McCain-Feingold passes, the Democrats can kiss goodbye any chance of gaining control in the Senate in the 2002 election. That should cause everybody on this side of the aisle to stampede and vote for it. However, there is an equally qualified observer who has spoken to our Members and has said if McCain-Feingold passes, the Republican Party will go into the minority and stay there for 25 years.

Now, obviously, one or the other of these has to be wrong in terms of what is going to happen at the election. But neither one of these observers is an unqualified observer. The reason they have come to these two differing conclusions is that each one is looking at this issue through the prism of his own self-interest. If the Democratic campaign lawyer sees the destruction of the Democratic Party and the Republican campaign consultant sees the destruction of the Republican Party, I submit to you, as murky as our crystal ball may be, the chances are that they are both right -- that we are going to see, as a result of the passage of this bill, not the destruction of the party -- I won't go to that extent, but certainly a dramatic diminution of party influence in politics in this country.

One very practical example that we can expect is the scaling down, if not the elimination, of party conventions because party conventions now are financed entirely with soft money which, under this bill, would become illegal. So we may see party conventions disappear altogether, or we may see them become very truncated affairs, which the media may decide is not worth covering. This would be good news for an incumbent President. This would be bad news for a challenger trying to prevent a President from seeking a second term. He would be denied the opportunity of exposure that comes from a party convention.

One of the things we will not see as a result of the passage of McCain-Feingold is the elimination of corruption in politics. Corruption comes from the heart of the receiver, not the wallet of the giver. If an individual is corrupt, he is going to stay corrupt, whether or not the "speech police" are watching him. He is going to find some way to remain corrupt and to game the system to his advantage. The person of integrity is going to remain a person of integrity, regardless of how many people come waving bills at him to try to get him to change his position solely on the basis of money.

Integrity and corruption does not come as a result of participation in the political process. Integrity and corruption come from the way you were raised, from the way you make your decisions, from the hard commitments you make along the way in life.

There are corrupt people in entertainment and there are people of integrity in entertainment. There are corrupt people in the media and there are people of integrity in the media. There are corrupt people in politics and there are people of integrity in politics, and they will not change on either side just because we pass a bill. So that is the one prediction of which I can be confident. On these others, we are guessing.

I let my imagination run. If the political conventions disappear or become seriously truncated as a result of the passage of this bill, and if I were a special interest group with an unlimited wallet, I would anticipate holding a major convention of my own and invite certain favored speakers. I would gear it in such a way as to get maximum media attention, and those speakers could then get media attention that would come out of attending that convention.

I do believe that we are going to see an increase in political spending of soft dollars on the part of special interest groups in different and inventive ways that we at the moment cannot anticipate. Once again, in the newspaper there is a story of a fundraiser. He signed it himself. He said: Those of us on K Street are already figuring out ways to get around McCain-Feingold and use our soft dollars in a fashion to influence the political situation.

We are going to see, I am sure, an increase in Harry and Louise kind of advertising. Those of us who were on the floor through the debate on President Clinton's health care plan know how powerful those soft dollars were. We know how many those soft dollars were, and we know how totally outside the ambit of McCain-Feingold those soft dollars were. If McCain-Feingold says you cannot give those soft dollars to a party to pay its light bill, well, OK, we will give the soft dollars to Madison Avenue to influence politics in other ways.

One of the other ways the parties are going to be seriously disadvantaged by this bill is in candidate recruitment. Senator Frist is the chairman of the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee. When he goes out and tries to convince a reluctant candidate to challenge a Democratic incumbent, one of the first things that candidate says is: If I do this, will you be there for me? Senator Frist can say now: Yes, we will commit X amount of activity in your behalf. Please, come do this. Do this for the party. Do this for your country. Come do it, and we will be behind you.

Senator McConnell has already laid out the financial implications of McCain-Feingold in terms of the amount of money that would be available to the senatorial committee if we had nothing but hard dollars based on actual experience. As Senator Frist goes out to recruit candidates, or as Senator Murray goes out to recruit candidates on the other side, she is going to find her ability to attract candidates into this situation will be severely reduced.

The ultimate answer is: We want you to run, but when it comes to financial support, you are on your own; you are not going to get any significant help from the national party in any way because we simply cannot do it. We have to use our hard dollars for things for which we used to use soft money. We simply are not going to have the resources that we would like to have to help you. We will see many outstanding candidates decide they do not want to run under those circumstances.

Make no mistake about it, those in the press gallery who have been talking about the present system being an incumbent protection act, wait until we pass McCain-Feingold and I guarantee you an incumbent will really have to foul his nest in order to lose. This virtually guarantees that no challenger of any consequence will be able to raise the money and produce the organization to take on an entrenched incumbent because the restrictions are so severe that they will not be able to do that.

What does this have to do with the amendment? Simply this: At least as a result of the Wellstone amendment for which I voted, there is a degree of equal damage to the special interest groups. With the Wellstone amendment in the bill, the bill does not unilaterally damage parties and leave special interest groups totally free. Oh, it does leave special interest groups huge loopholes, but it at least, on the advertising phase, says the special interest groups have the same kinds of problems as the parties.

People said to me: Why in the world did you vote for the Wellstone amendment when it is clearly unconstitutional? I voted for it with my eyes wide open. I believe it is unconstitutional. I believe the other parts of the bill that it seeks equality for are equally unconstitutional. But I thought if the time should come, through some dark miracle, that McCain-Feingold survives the White House, the Supreme Court, and gets into the public stream, I do not want the loophole that the Wellstone amendment closed to stay open. If they are going to find some of it unconstitutional, I want them to find all of it unconstitutional. I want that loophole plugged.

If, indeed, we have the circumstance before the Court where the Court says the Wellstone amendment is unconstitutional, so the special interest groups are off the hook, but all of the corresponding pressures on parties are constitutional so that parties are under this kind of restriction, we are going to see a distortion in the political world that none of us is going to like.

I am supporting this amendment that says if the Supreme Court says, OK, we are going to strike down the Wellstone amendment as unconstitutional, as I hope they do, then we are going to strike down all the rest of it as unconstitutional because it all goes together, it fits together; it is a legitimate pattern.

I happen to think it is a total pattern of the violation of the first amendment. I have said before I think if James Madison were alive, he would be appalled at the debate, let alone the outcome. I have been ridiculed for that by members of the press who somehow think it is kind of funny to talk about the Founding Fathers, but I still believe the Federalist Papers are the best guide we can have as to how we make public policies around here.

As we look into our crystal balls, murky as they may be, we have to try to understand what the consequences will be if this bill passes and becomes law. I think the consequences are as I have stated: Parties will be seriously disadvantaged, special interest groups will be advantaged. But I do not want that to be done by the Supreme Court. I want the Supreme Court to tell us, all or nothing.

If the Supreme Court says an intrusion on first amendment rights is legitimate when you are dealing with political parties, then that intrusion ought to be legitimate when you are dealing with special interest groups. If, on the other hand, they say, no, the first amendment is so precious that we are going to leave it alone as far as special interest groups are concerned, why should they not then be required to say, we will leave it alone with respect to political parties?

Since when did the Constitution make a difference between the way people assemble themselves in their right of assembly and their right to petition and say: If you assemble yourselves in your right of assembly and right to petition in a political party, we are going to treat you one way, but if you assemble yourselves in your right to assemble and right to petition in a special interest group, we are going to treat you a different way?

The possibility exists that might happen if this amendment is adopted. If this amendment is adopted, then the Supreme Court will have to make the fundamental decision: Are they going to amend the first amendment by upholding McCain-Feingold, or are they not?

If they decide they are not, then they are not across the board. They cannot do it selectively. To me, that is the kind of outcome with which Hamilton, Madison, and John Jay would all agree. I make no apologies for calling them to this argument because I think this argument fundamentally is about the preservation of their handiwork which all of us in this Chamber have taken an oath to uphold and defend.

I do not take that oath lightly. I know my fellow Senators do not take that oath lightly. We should talk about it in those terms. I plead with my colleagues to think in those terms and, therefore, to support this amendment.

Mr. President, the American people have had an incredible civics lesson these past few months. No novelist, no playwright, no movie director -- not even the creator of the X-Files -- could have dreamed up a more intricate, a more convoluted, or more fantastic plot than the one played out in our national political arena in last year's Presidential election.

What if Florida cannot send a slate of electors to the electoral college? What if they send two slates? Are contested elections a State or a national issue? Or for that matter, a county by county issue? Who ultimately decides the results of a disputed election? Congress? The Florida Supreme Court? Federal district court? The Supreme Court? What about the vote of the people? Doesn't that count?

Woven through every one of these questions is a crucial feature of our American style of democracy -- the separation of powers. This is perhaps our Nation's most critical feature, our backbone, if you will.

Prior to the creation of the Federal courts, Alexander Hamilton envisioned in Federalist No. 78 that "the judiciary is beyond comparison the weakest of the three departments of power." Given the recent role the Supreme Court played in last November's Presidential election, Alexander Hamilton's vision was wrong.

Our delicate balance of power has tipped in favor of nine justices that have the power to legislate from the bench and have now elevated the Court as the most powerful of the three "departments of power." Commenting on the Supreme Court's role in picking the President, Laurence Tribe noted that the Justices were "driven by something other than what was visible on the face of the opinions." We will continue to ponder whether the Court's decision was derived from established legal and constitutional principles. Or whether the Court was "results oriented" and searched for a rationale to substantiate a decision more political than legal.

In our Government this question of the separation of powers never goes away. It is here before us today, in this bill, with this amendment, with the issue of campaign finance reform. Specifically, it confronts us with the issues of severability and nonseverability.

For the executive branch of Government, the answer has always been clear. The President can veto any law we pass. Congress can override a Presidential veto with a two-thirds majority in each house. The balance of power between Congress and the executive branch is part of our national strength.

Federal courts have the authority to decide on the constitutional legitimacy of the laws passed by Congress, and to dispose of any provisions of the law they find unconstitutional. It is an ultimate authority dating back to Marbury v. Madison. If the Supreme Court declares a provision of law to be unconstitutional, it is conclusive.

Short of changing the Constitution itself, a step we have taken only 17 times since the passage of the Bill of Rights, there are no options. A finding of unconstitutionality by the Supreme Court effectively voids congressional and Presidential action. This, too, is a vital part of the balance of powers. And I respect it.

A law professor at New York University wrote an interesting article on this very topic a few weeks back in the New York Times. The author's name is Larry Kramer, and his article, which could hardly be more to the point, was titled "The Supreme Court v. Balance of Powers." His main point, which I think he makes quite convincingly, is that:

Many of the Supreme Court's recent decisions have indeed been made by the conservative majority. Decisions are often carried on the basis of a single vote. Age discrimination -- five to four. Gay rights -- five to four. Warrantless police searches -- five to four. The Federal role in death penalty cases -- five to four. And of course, the selection of the 43rd President of the United States -- five to four.

This is my own starting point for reflecting on the nonseverability question. I agree with Justice Stevens. My confidence in the impartiality of the Supreme Court has been shaken. The American judicial system has been increasingly politicized. Politicized by the unseemly rejection by the Senate of qualified nominees to the Federal bench. Politicized by the recent decision by the White House to end the half century involvement of the American Bar Association in reviewing the qualifications of potential nominees to the Federal bench -- a tradition that dates back to the Eisenhower administration.

With that as context -- recognizing that for many the impartiality of the Supreme Court is being called into question -- I return to the question of nonseverability. Is this a Supreme Court to whom we want to hand over the absolute authority to rewrite whatever campaign finance reform measure ultimately is enacted by Congress?

I am not enamored by the idea of granting to the Court -- particularly this Court -- such authority. Maintaining severability denies them the opportunity to sink the entire law on the basis of the constitutionality of one provision.

The last time we tried this in Congress and sent the law across the street, it had a pretty disastrous outcome. The Supreme Court at that time decided they would limit how we raise money for campaigns. They would not limit, as Congress wanted to, the ultimate amount of money spent on campaigns, and then they came in with a decision in Buckley v. Valeo in 1976 and said, incidentally, millionaires in America, when it comes to campaign financing, are above the law. Now that preposterous outcome was rationalized by them and has been capitalized on by candidates since.

Campaign finance activist Ben Senturia compared the Buckley decision by the Court relating to campaign finance reform to that of a large tree in the middle of a ball field. The game can still be played, he says, but it has to be played around the tree.

Mr. President, before the Senator from Illinois leaves the floor, I express my personal appreciation for his speech. I say that, recognizing that he and I have been in Congress the same length of time. We came together to the House of Representatives. During that period of time, I have gotten to know him well and I recognize his history as being a real legislator, a parliamentarian as he was in the State of Illinois.

Harry Reid
This debate has been a very good debate. During the past couple of weeks, we have had some very fine presentations made. But when we look back on the presentations made, there will not be any better than the one just made by the Senator from Illinois. Not only did he deliver it well, as he always does, the Senator from Illinois has no peer, in my estimation, as someone able to present facts. But here, not only did he do a great job in his delivery, the substance of what he said is really meaningful.

For someone such as me who struggled with this issue of severability, he certainly laid the foundation, in effect poured the cement. I have no question the Senator from Illinois is right on this issue. I am personally very grateful for having been present to listen to this brilliant presentation.

I appreciate very much the way the Senator from Tennessee, Senator Thompson, kicked off the debate on our side. He made some very powerful points about how this issue of severability and nonseverability relates to the separation of powers and issues of judicial restraint. What I would like to do is use my time to talk about what this means for our effort to do something about the campaign financing system in our country.

Mr. President, the Senate is being asked to agree to an amendment that would make two provisions of this bill "nonseverable" from one another. What does "nonseverable" mean? What does it mean for this bill? And what does this vote mean for the cause of reform?

My friend John McCain has said that nonseverability is French for "kill campaign finance reform." That is a pretty good short definition. But in simple legal and practical terms, the addition of this kind of nonseverability clause means that the soft money and Snowe-Jeffords provision, title I and title II of the bill, would become a single integrated unit for purposes of constitutional scrutiny, that its many separate sections would all stand or fall together if any part of it is challenged in court on constitutional grounds. So, if this amendment passes, and the bill passes into law in a form that includes this amendment, and some time later a federal court finds one provision of either the soft money ban or the Snowe- Jeffords provision to be unconstitutional, then both of those provisions will be struck down, and it will be as if we had never passed a campaign finance reform bill at all.

Our bill contains an explicit severability clause, added only for emphasis. We pass hundreds of bills in each Congress, and each of them is deemed implicitly to be comprised of severable parts, unless it contains "nonseverability" language. Two weeks ago we passed a bankruptcy bill, that ran on for hundreds of pages. I thought it was a bad bill, I wish it were not about to become law. Still, I understand that if some part of its hundreds of pages is struck down on constitutional grounds, the rest will stand. The same is true of nearly every bill we have passed or will in the future pass in this body. In fact, I am informed that during the last 12 years only 10 bills have been introduced, let alone passed, that contain a nonseverability clause. It is incredibly unusual.

The Supreme Court has repeatedly held that even without a severability clause, the presumption is that Congress intends for each provision of a bill to be evaluated on its own merits and severed from the bill if it is found to be unconstitutional. In Alaska Airlines v. Brock, for example, the Court said:

That is the general rule. In order to overcome that presumption there has to be specific evidence that Congress would not have passed the constitutional provisions without the unconstitutional provisions.

Senator McCain and I have drafted a bill that we believe is constitutionally sound. My record is not the record of a legislator who is casual about the first amendment, but some people, out of legitimate concern, and some other people, seeking strategic advantage in their effort to kill reform, have raised first amendment questions about the Snowe-Jeffords provisions of the bill, which would place restrictions on the use corporate and union treasury of phony issue ads run on radio or TV within 60 days of general election. Similar questions have been raised about the Wellstone amendment that extends the Snowe-Jeffords restrictions to issue ads run by independent groups.

We knew that our bill would face this scrutiny and we drafted the Snowe-Jeffords provision with care and respect for the right to political speech, but if we, or the author of a successful amendment to our bill, has missed the constitutional mark, there are federal courts to rule on the question. Ultimately, under our system of government, there is a Supreme Court to give the final word about the constitutionality of any part of our bill that may be challenged. And if the Supreme Court says that some piece of our bill is unconstitutional, that's the last word, and we would have to accept that.

But this amendment goes much farther. It would mean that if the Supreme Court finds a defect in the Snowe-Jeffords provision, and strikes it down, then the soft money ban will be invalidated as well. This makes no sense. It respects neither the proper rule of the Court, nor the proper role of the Congress. We have a Congress to pass laws, in this case a set of laws. We have a Supreme Court to tell us when one of those laws is unconstitutional and must cease to have effect.

I try to avoid cliches in debate, but here I must implore my colleagues, don't vote for an amendment that obliges this Senate and the Court to throw the baby out with the bathwater. In this case, the bathwater is the Snowe-Jeffords provision that we have always known will face a constitutional challenge, and while we believe there is a strong argument for it being upheld, we cannot state with any certainty that it will. But the most important provision in our bill, the baby in our metaphor, is the soft money ban. The sponsor of this amendment knows that he will never get the Court to say that the soft money ban is unconstitutional. He holds out hope that Snowe-Jeffords will be found to be constitutionally flawed, so he pins his hopes on the extraordinary, mechanistic and, in this case, cynical device of non- severability. It is his only chance, because he knows he can't beat reform in the Congress, and he knows he can't possibly beat the most important part of it in the courts, not in any analysis on the merits.

So I urge my colleagues to vote against this amendment, and I add these words of caution: If you vote for this amendment, you are voting to place in peril the most important reform measure in this bill. If you vote for this amendment, you vote for a gross departure from ordinary legislative procedure. If you vote for this amendment, you vote to distort the usual proper role of and relationship between the courts and this Congress. If you vote for this amendment, you vote, and will be seen to vote, for maximizing the chances of the enemies of reform to prevail against the decisions of this Senate and against the will of the American people.

I must also point out to those of my colleagues who have told me privately, or have stated in public that they support a ban on soft money but cannot vote for the bill because they believe the Snowe- Jeffords amendment is unconstitutional, you should vote against this amendment. If you would vote for a bill that includes a soft money ban and no provision on issue ads, you should vote here to preserve the option for the Supreme Court to uphold a soft money ban and strike down the Snowe-Jeffords amendment.

I made this clear in the last few days. I believe this is the vote. This vote is the ultimate test for the Senate in this debate on campaign finance reform. It might be called the campaign finance reform test. The American people are standing by, waiting to see whether this body will pass or fail that test. Do not let them down my colleagues. There are no makeup exams.

This is the vote that will decide if we are going to be able to get rid of this awful soft money system -- to really get rid of it, not just pass a bill in the Senate, not just pass a bill in the House, not just have the President sign it, but actually have it survive a court challenge and become the law of the land.

The last three campaign finance reform bills that passed out of the Senate included nonseverability clauses -- in 1990, 1992, and 1993. Members of the Senate who voted for that include 23 current Members who supported the bill with a nonseverability clause in it in 1990; 24 of the current Members supported the bill in 1992 with a nonseverability clause in it; and 28 of the current Members supported the bill in 1993 with a nonseverability clause in it.

It is wholly irrelevant whether most bills do or don't have nonseverability clauses. What we are talking about is campaign finance reform bills which are fraught with first amendment constitutional principles, and it has been almost always the rule rather than the exception that they include nonseverability clauses in them.

It is so common that the Harkin amendment we just voted on and was supported by 31 Members of the Senate on that side of the aisle had a nonseverability provision in it tied to Snowe-Jeffords; also, the amendment we had a couple of hours ago in which 31 Members of the Senate on the other side supported.

So this notion that somehow it is inappropriate and unwise to have a nonseverability clause in a campaign finance bill is utterly and totally baseless and without merit. In fact, that is what is typically done.

Senator Edwards is on the floor now. He said he is totally confident that Snowe-Jeffords is carefully crafted to meet the constitutional test of Buckley v. Valeo.

As the author of the amendment, Senator Frist pointed out that there is a rationale for linking Snowe-Jeffords and the soft money ban. And it is this, I say to my friend from North Carolina: What if I am right and they are wrong, and Snowe-Jeffords is struck down, the Democratic Senatorial Committee loses 35 percent of its budget, and the Democratic National Committee loses 40 percent of its budget? If candidates are under attack by conservative groups from outside, who is going to rush to their defense?

There is a rationale for linking Snowe-Jeffords and the party soft money ban; that is, if we eliminate it, and if all of the Senators who are confident, including the Senator from North Carolina, that it is constitutional are wrong, every group in America -- conservative, liberal, vegetarian, and libertarian -- will all have a right to come after our candidates and our parties will be largely defenseless.

I asked consent later this afternoon to have some time at 4 o'clock to describe to the Members of the Senate the impact of McCain-Feingold on our political parties. I am going to take the opportunity to do that at 4 o'clock. It will be chilling to learn what will happen to our parties under this underlying bill.

I don't think this is in any way inappropriate. In fact, it is common. If the proponents of Snowe-Jeffords are confident it will be upheld, I don't know what they are afraid of. We will need the political parties to defend our candidates if Snowe-Jeffords is struck down.

We have just heard a good explanation of the situation from the Senator from Kentucky about the concern of the so-called severability. Imagine most people in America scratching their heads and asking: What in the world is the Senate talking about -- nonseverability, severability, and everything else? When we talk about severability, back in Louisiana they think someone lost an arm or a finger. They get very confused when we start talking about severability in legislation as an integral part of a bill.

We have learned the mistake we make when we craft a carefully constructed compromise that people are allowed to vote for because it is carefully balanced with amendments through the legislative process and then have that legislation go to a court which says that one part of this bill we will take out and we are going to leave everything else, or the court will say they will take out half of it and leave everything else. We tried that in 1971 when we wrote the landmark Federal elections law. I was running for Congress then and was watching it very carefully, not knowing what in the world the results would be. But I looked at it at that time, as the people helped write it, as a carefully crafted compromise. It did not have a nonseverability clause in that legislation. When it left this body and it left the House, a lot of people said: This is a good balance; I got this in it; I got that in it; I got limits on contributions but we got limits on how they can spend it; therefore, I think this is a good package; it makes sense; it is reform.

Because it didn't have a nonseverability clause in it, which we are trying to add in this legislation, when it got to the Supreme Court, in its wisdom, said: Well, this can stand and this can't stand; we are going to eliminate this and we are going to keep that.

Guess what. We ended up for all of these years with a bill that was totally different from what the Congress had carefully crafted. In essence, what we ended up with was a bill that limited contributions but had no limits on expenditures. What we thought we were doing was saying, all right, we are going to reduce the money in campaigns, we are going to eliminate expenditures, and limit contributions. What we ended up with was only one-half of the equation. This body, the other body, this Congress and past Congresses learned from that monumental mistake.

As the Senator from Kentucky pointed out, when we considered campaign finance legislation in subsequent Congresses, we didn't make that mistake. We considered it in the 101st Congress, the 102d Congress, and the 103d Congress. And in every one of those Congresses we did not make the same mistake that we made in 1971.

We took the position in those acts of the Congress that the carefully crafted compromise was going to have to be accepted or rejected; the Court could not piecemeal it. They could not rewrite it. They could not decide in their wisdom what they thought was legitimate and keep that and throw out what they thought was unconstitutional. We did not make the mistake in the previous Congresses that we did the first time.

I hope what we do here is to also recognize that we should say that this carefully crafted compromise, the ban on soft money to parties plus the restrictions on outside groups running sham ads 60 days before an election, are intricately tied together. They are part of the compromise. If you knock out one, you break the deal. Without this amendment, we will have perhaps only half of the deal being enacted into law and the other half disappearing because of a Court decision.

That is not what the role of legislators should be. We should be putting together comprehensive packages with intricate amendments and compromises woven together to create a package.

There are people who would not be for this legislation, I dare say, if they thought the Snowe-Jeffords legislation on money being spent on sham ads right before the election were not restricted in this bill. What do we say to those people who voted for it because of Snowe- Jeffords being part of it: That somehow it may not be there in the end? They would not have voted for the legislation.

It is so significant that we have this nonseverability clause. It is very restrictive, and I want to expand it. I will ask unanimous consent to offer an amendment to the Frist-Breaux amendment which will include the soft money ban plus the Snowe-Jeffords amendment plus the Thompson amendment which increased the hard dollar contributions, that if any one of those three would be found to be unconstitutional, all three would fall.

It makes no sense, I agree, to have the ban, for instance, on soft dollars to be declared unconstitutional, which it probably is not, but if it should be, then you would be left with a hard dollar increase. It makes no sense to say that, well, we could ban or declare unconstitutional the Snowe-Jeffords prohibition but yet still have the hard dollar increase. All three are integral parts of this compromise. I think the Frist-Breaux amendment should be amended to say that if either of those three essential ingredients is knocked down as unconstitutional, therefore, all three of them would fall. That would be the right thing to do.

That doesn't mean the whole bill falls. Everything else is still there: The millionaire's amendment, the lowest unit rate for television would still be there, the ban on foreign contributions, the ban on solicitations. Those are all still improvements in the current system.

When I try to explain nonseverability to people, it gets very confusing. I am probably as confused as anyone trying to explain it to our colleagues and to the press, and to the general public, who have to cover all of this. I try to use the analogy of ANWR which I think makes sense. The question of whether we drill for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is a very controversial and contentious issue. Suppose we came to the floor of the Senate and someone said: All right, I am willing to allow for drilling in ANWR if you double the environmental requirements that would apply to that part of the United States. That amendment is adopted. People say: Well, with that amendment, I can support drilling for oil in ANWR because we have an amendment that doubles the environmental protections in that part of the world only.

But then that bill goes to the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court says: Oops, sorry, you are all wrong, you can't do doubling of the environmental protections in only one part of the country. That part of the bill is unconstitutional. But the drilling for oil is OK.

How would that treat all the Members of Congress who said: Well, I can vote for the carefully crafted compromise because at the same time we have doubled the environmental protections and therefore it is a comprehensive package and therefore it makes sense? To have the Court strike down the environmental protections while leaving the right to drill would be a sham on the Members of Congress who voted for the carefully crafted compromise.

The same is true with regard to this controversial, complicated, emotional issue of how we handle campaigns in this country. All of the ingredients are essential to the compromise. To allow the Court to knock out one or two and leave the rest is to put into effect through law something that was never intended by the people who voted on it to ever occur. When you vote for all of the parts of the bill, you have the right to expect that all of the parts will survive.

I am extremely concerned that we have a situation where we are going to ban soft money to the two political parties and somehow leave all of these groups and organizations that are running ads, special interest groups, basically single-interest groups, who will be able to continue to use all of the soft money they want to attack candidates for 2 years prior to our elections. None of these groups represents, I argue, the more moderate parts of both parties; they tend to be more extreme. Not all of them, some of them are moderate, but most are single-issue, one- issue groups that generally run only negative advertising against candidates.

Addressing this with the Snowe-Jeffords amendment, saying that corporate and union contributions cannot fund any of these groups within 60 days of an election, is an important step. If we don't have the nonseverability and Snowe-Jeffords is knocked out, all of these groups could use corporate money to continue to blast candidates without us having the same ability to help our parties respond to those accusations.

I am talking about groups such as those that ran the Flo ads on Medicare. None of the people on my side liked those at all. I am talking about groups that ran the Harry and Louise ads which used corporate contributions to run negative ads all the way up to 60 days before the election, if this amendment goes down. I am talking about the National Rifle Association. To people principally on my side of the aisle, how many times do we have to see Charlton Heston talking about why Democrats should not be elected and having corporate contributions pay for those ads?

Those principally on my side who are saying we want to vote for this because it is a carefully crafted compromise ought to recognize that without the Frist-Breaux amendment, that carefully crafted compromise could cease to exist. What we have done is to abdicate our responsibility to legislate in a package, not with blinders on, and not looking at reality.

I strongly support the nonseverability amendment. I plan at the appropriate time to ask that the amendment be modified in order to add a third category in addition to the soft money prohibition to parties and the Snowe-Jeffords amendment. I would add the Thompson amendment reflecting the increase in hard dollars, that any one of those three being declared unconstitutional would bring down all three of those.

First, it is very important for my colleagues who aren't on the floor, in looking at the precise language of these amendments, to recognize there are really only three provisions, with the modification, that are covered by this amendment. The soft money ban is number one; the Snowe-Jeffords ban on broadcast ads paid out of union and corporation treasury funds 60 days before the election is number two; number three is the raising of the hard money limit.

No one who has looked closely at this question would argue that either the soft money ban or the hard money limit increase is subject to serious constitutional challenge. The only thing the soft money ban has to do under the Buckley case is for the Court to find that there was a compelling State interest to support that ban. The Court, in fact, has already found in Buckley there is such an interest. So as these other Senators have recognized during the course of this debate, there is no serious question about the soft money ban. The soft money ban -- if it passes from this Chamber, and is signed by the President and passed by the House -- is going to become law.

The raising of the hard dollar limit also is not subject to any serious constitutional challenge. So what we are talking about is Snowe-Jeffords.

Now my friend from Kentucky points out that during the course of this debate I have argued that Snowe-Jeffords is constitutional. I don't want to repeat that argument, but I, in fact, believe that Snowe- Jeffords is constitutional. But I want my colleagues to understand, and not get caught up too much in the morass of this debate, that there is only one issue raised by this amendment as modified, and that is if Snowe-Jeffords were found to be unconstitutional by a Court at a later time, do we want the soft money ban and the raising of the hard money limits to stand? That is the simple question raised by this amendment.

Now I don't believe a Court will find Snowe-Jeffords to be unconstitutional. But the U.S. Supreme Court has done many things in the past that I didn't expect, including some things in recent times. So I have no way of predicting with certainty what the Court will do when confronted with this question. I do believe Snowe-Jeffords meets the constitutional requirements. So the argument that is made is, if Snowe-Jeffords is found to be unconstitutional, we create a strategic imbalance in our electoral process.

The difference I have with my friends from Kentucky and from Louisiana is why we are enacting campaign finance reform. I don't think that the focus of campaign finance reform, and the reason we are doing it, is to make sure the strategic balance that now exists is maintained. I think what we are trying to do is take these huge, unregulated soft money contributions out of the system. What we are trying to do is restore public faith in our campaign and election system in this country.

It is difficult for me to understand how removing these huge soft money contributions doesn't contribute to the restoring of that integrity. It obviously does. It may be that if one of these provisions -- I think the only one in play is Snowe-Jeffords -- is found to be unconstitutional, somewhere down the road there is a strategic imbalance. That may be true. But this debate and this law is not about us. It is not about what is good for Democrats, it is not about what is good for Republicans, and it is not about what is good for incumbent Senators; it is about the American people. It is about whether their voice is going to be heard and whether they believe they have some ownership in their Government; or, instead, whether we continue to perpetuate a system where huge amounts of money flow, unregulated, into the campaign process and ordinary people feel as if their vote makes no difference anymore. Senator Dodd made an eloquent and passionate presentation yesterday, or the day before, on this very subject.

My point is this: The disagreement I have with my colleague from Kentucky -- and it is a fundamental disagreement -- is why we are trying to enact campaign finance reform. I don't think we ought to be focused on ourselves, or focused on how we are going to combat a particular ad that may or may not be run against us. I am as practical as anybody else. I understand the way the system works. All of us have lived with it. But the baseline for this debate, and what I hope all of my colleagues will use as their touchstone, is not what is good for us, not what is good for Republicans, not what is good for Democrats, but what is good for the American people.

I take it the Senator from North Carolina, who supports Snowe-Jeffords, which would prohibit all these groups on this chart from using corporate dollars to attack candidates -- these single-issue special interest groups -- is that not an important amendment, that if it were to be declared unconstitutional, the rest of the bill would go into effect? Does this not bother the Senator that without the Snowe- Jeffords amendment all of these groups would be able to continue to use corporate dollars to attack candidates with no ability for the parties to defend them?

My answer to that question is, first, what we do, even without Snowe-Jeffords, is we prohibit candidates for political office from raising large soft dollar contributions for these very groups to which the Senator from Louisiana is referring.

If our focus is on restoring integrity to the process and the public's perception of ourselves, then getting us out of the process of raising soft money dollars, getting soft money, period, out of the system is a positive thing. And my view is that it helps restore integrity.

Does the Senator think that the Health Insurance Association of America, or the National Rifle Association really needs any help from Members of Congress in raising corporate money to run those types of ads? My point is that those groups don't need Members of Congress to help them raise money to do the Flo ads, and the Harry and Louise ads. Those are corporate dollars. The pharmacy industry doesn't need Members of Congress to raise money to pay for ads attacking everybody in Congress.

John Edwards
Mr. President, reclaiming my time, my answer is the very answer I just gave the Senator from Louisiana. We can't stop these entities from running ads. What we can do, is stop Members of Congress from raising huge amounts of money and creating a public perception that we are involved in what is wrong with the system. You are absolutely right. As a matter of pure strategic balance, that there is the possibility there will be a strategic imbalance, I would not argue for a minute about that. But that is not what campaign finance reform is about.

What campaign finance reform is about is restoring integrity to the system and causing the American people to believe, once again, that the system has integrity, that it works, and this democracy belongs to them, and that it is their Government. That is the fundamental difference. Anything we do, I strongly suspect, with or without Snowe- Jeffords, or any of these other provisions, as we have learned from experience, may turn out a year, 5 years, 10 years from now to create some result that we don't expect. I think that is just realistic.

But the one thing we know for certain is that the public believes this system is awash in money. These huge, unregulated contributions that are being made to political campaigns are wrong, and we need to make a clear and unequivocal statement that we will not allow that to happen.

Mr. President, I will take a couple of minutes, if I may. I think the Senator from North Carolina has eloquently framed what the present amendment would do and what the consequences are, should the Frist-Breaux amendment be adopted -- and I am not sure it has been offered yet -- even if you accept the modification that is about to be offered by our friend and colleague from Louisiana. This gets a little confusing. It is hard for people to even hear -- despite the fact we live in this world -- and to even understand the issues of severability, nonseverability, hard money, and soft money.

If Snowe-Jeffords -- the union and corporate disclosure provisions; I will call that Snowe-Jeffords although they are often in different places -- if that falls because it is ruled to be unconstitutional, then the ban on soft money also falls.

If the Breaux amendment modifies the Frist amendment, then so would, as I understand it, the Thompson-Feinstein amendment, which allowed for the increases in hard money.

With all due respect to my friend from Tennessee, who is also opposing this amendment -- not the author of the amendment but the opponent of the amendment -- and my friend from California, Senator Feinstein, Thompson-Feinstein is not a reform. Thompson-Feinstein was the price we paid to have the votes together on the banning of soft money.

There is no illusion about this. That was not a reform. I know they want to call it that. I reluctantly voted for it, having spoken against the increases in hard money. My friend from Wisconsin and my friend from Arizona also took similar positions that they did not endorse or support those increases except that it was necessary to keep the votes together for the two reforms in this bill: Snowe-Jeffords, disclosure elements, and the ban on soft money. Those are the only two reforms in this bill.

Basically that is the deal. We have this increase in hard money, which I have a hard time accepting, but in exchange for that we get the two reforms of getting rid of unregulated money and the Snowe-Jeffords provisions. I believe, based on those who know far more about this than I do, Snowe-Jeffords should not fall for constitutional reasons, although my friend and colleague from North Carolina properly points out that we have been surprised lately by Supreme Court decisions where experts have told us they would rule one way and they ruled another.

I urge my colleagues to keep this in mind, that if, in fact, they have been a supporter of McCain-Feingold, understanding that this is not every reform of the process, and understanding there may be some imbalances created here -- we are all very much aware of this. My colleague from Utah spoke eloquently about the fact that none of us can say with any certainty exactly where all of this is going to end up. If you took McCain-Feingold as modified up to now and it became the law of the land tomorrow, there is some uncertainty, except this: The certainty that soft money, the unregulated millions of dollars -- billions of dollars now have been pouring into campaigns -- is going to be stopped.

No one is suggesting the ban on soft money is unconstitutional, and that would be a major achievement. We may end up coming back at some future date, less than 30 years down the road, because we discover there have been unintended consequences in this legislation. Let's not lose sight of the fact that the ban on soft money and the Snowe- Jeffords provisions -- assuming they survive -- are worthy of this body's support. The issue of saying they both fall, the ban on soft money and the price we paid for it, as well, if Snowe-Jeffords falls is an unequal trade off. I urge my colleagues to reject it.

Lastly, I say to my friend from Kentucky, there are differences of opinion on how we voted on two previous campaign finance reform bills. There was tied severability in those two other bills. It was not nonseverability. We linked two provisions. We said if one fell, then the other would fall as well.

It was, if you will, a partial severability in those two bills for which 23 of us, who are still here, voted. We did not vote for nonseverability. That is a semantical game in a sense. We voted for tied severability, partial severability. That is a side question.

The basic issue is my colleagues ought to, with all due respect, reject the Frist-Breaux amendment if they believe, as I think a majority of us do, that the ban on soft money and Snowe-Jeffords are truly reforms. We fought too long and too hard not to succeed with those and to link severability is a mistake.

Mitch McConnell
Mr. President, listening carefully to the Senator from Connecticut trying to explain the previous nonseverability clauses that passed in 1992 and 1993, those nonseverability clauses included the whole bill, so that if any little portion of the bill that cleared the Senate in 1990, cleared the Senate in 1992, cleared the Senate in 1993, if any little portion of that bill was unconstitutional, the whole bill fell.

Mitch McConnell
As I understand the amendment of the Senator from Tennessee and the Senator from Louisiana, the whole bill does not fall. It carefully tied the two relevant parts of the amendment, the Snowe-Jeffords language and the party soft money ban. The Senator from Louisiana has pointed out why those two are relevant and important. He has his whole list of people who are going to be attacking our candidates, and our parties are going to have no funds -- none, none -- to protect them from attack from outside groups.

Fred Thompson
Reserving the right to object, and I do intend to object, I know my friend can bring this after -- if this amendment survives a motion to table, of course, he can bring it back, or I suppose he can bring it back separately. My understanding is this amendment would cause the following result; that is, if either Snowe- Jeffords or the soft money portion of the bill were struck down, then the Thompson-Feinstein amendment language would fall also at that time. For that reason, I object.

For nearly 2 weeks, the Senate has been engaged in an exhaustive but illuminating debate on reforming the campaign finance system of the Nation, the foundation of the rules by which a free people choose their government. The consequences could not be more enormous.

I believe the Senate has met the best expectations of the American people in this debate. It has been thoughtful, civil, and far reaching. Indeed, rather than simply engaging in a narrow changing of the rules, what has emerged from the Senate is genuinely comprehensive campaign finance reform. It may not have been our intention, I don't believe it was planned, but in the best traditions of the Senate, Members from both political parties, with good ideas, took some basic reform legislation and made it into a workable, comprehensive system.

That is what brings this question before the Senate. If these were simply individual changes in the campaign finance system, where some were enacted and some failed, it would be interesting but not of overriding consequence. That is not what the Senate has done. This is a series of reforms inextricably dependent on each other. If one or more is removed, the Nation will have a radically different campaign finance system and our system of choosing candidates, and even the people whom we elect, will be altered.

I understand in the rush to judgment there are some who are prone to reform for reform's sake. It is a question of pass anything, get something done, and we will live with the consequences. But the truth is, the campaign finance system of this country is changed only once in a generation. These rules will last, not simply for us but for those who follow us, not just in this decade but in decades to come.

This is the last great debate of the campaign finance consideration. But in some ways it is the most profound question because ultimately the question is whether we have simply decided on a series of ideas that will be thrown out to the American people to challenge in the courts where others will make the decision or whether we have really designed a new campaign finance system in the Senate, where it is our responsibility.

It is important to look at how each of these provisions is linked because, as one Member of the Senate, I am only voting for McCain- Feingold because of the different provisions and how they are all related. We eliminate soft money for the political parties. We also eliminate it from outside interest groups. But we do not want to deny the American people political debate, so we raise the hard money limits. We want to end the monopoly on candidates' time and the growing expense of campaigns, so we lower the cost of television advertising. Those are all related and they are all important.

My colleagues, what is to happen if the Supreme Court of the United States decides the Senate has decided upon six interrelated provisions but we do not like one -- or two? Then the Senate is no longer writing campaign finance reform; we simply made a few suggestions, enacted them into law, and we will let someone else write them.

This would not be so perplexing to this Member of the Senate, that we might be yielding in our responsibilities on the question of severability, if not for the fact that the Senate has been at this moment before. This is exactly what happened in 1974. If you do not like the campaign system now in the United States of America, if you object to what has happened in public confidence, the rising expense, the dominance of powerful interests, the rise of soft money expenditures, then you have a responsibility to ensure these provisions are inseparable, or the Supreme Court will write this law just as they did in 1974.

Here is the most remarkable thing about the campaign finance system in the United States: No one ever proposed it, no one ever wrote it, and no one ever voted for it. Because the Supreme Court of the United States created it, and that is exactly where we are going again.

In 1974 -- a year in which I did not serve in government, but I remember the debate, and some of my colleagues were here -- had the Senate been presented with the following proposition: We will limit contributions to $1,000 but we will allow unlimited soft money to political parties and we will allow outside groups to spend their money and we will allow wealthy candidates to spend unlimited amounts of money -- if anyone had come to the floor of the Senate with that bill, it would have received no votes. There is not a member of the Democratic or Republican Party who would have voted to limit themselves to $1,000 contributions while wealthy individuals could spend unlimited money and outside groups had no restrictions at all, with no control on expenditures. No one would vote for such a system. But that is the law of the United States of America. It has governed our country for 25 years. If we fail today, it will continue to govern our country.

That has created all this outrage, and that is the product of not having a nonseverability clause. That was an attempt to have comprehensive reform. But when the Court ruled provisions unconstitutional, rather than meeting our responsibilities, returning to the floor of the Senate to rewrite the legislation consistent with constitutional guidelines, ensuring it was comprehensive and met our national objectives, the Senate failed to meet its responsibilities and this problem was created.

By what logic do we solve this problem now by returning to the same rules, the same yielding of responsibility, to ask the same Court to write campaign reform legislation once again? I ask my colleagues to think of the system that may not evolve from McCain-Feingold as we have voted upon it but which might evolve from a reasonable action by the U.S. Supreme Court.

I believe every provision we have agreed to in this Senate, absent possibly the Wellstone amendment, is constitutional. It is noteworthy the Senator from Tennessee does not put the Wellstone amendment in his nonseverability amendment that he offers the Senate at this moment. I believe the remainder is constitutional.

But if I am wrong and the U.S. Supreme Court decides that Snowe- Jeffords amendment controlling expenditures by independent groups by the use of unlimited soft money is unconstitutional, mark my words, the system we are creating in the United States of America is a radical change in how we govern this country and, for all practical purposes, it is the end of the two-party system financing national elections as we have known them in our lifetime. That is because under a McCain- Feingold bill that no one in this Senate voted for -- and I suspect no one really supports -- the system enacted in the United States will be the Democratic and Republican Parties will be limited to hard money expenditures only and independent groups will spend unlimited money with no restrictions or controls. Of all the thousands of organizations in America, civic and corporate and labor, of all the thousands of organizations, we will have chosen two for these restrictions: The Democratic Party and the Republican Party.

In the practical world in which we live, let's consider what this will look like. I, as a candidate, may choose to run for office on a progressive platform, wanting to describe my own views. And good allies that I believe in, such as organized labor or environmental groups or women's rights groups or civil rights groups, may decide to support me. But they will run my ads. They will decide what I am for, describe my positions, and run my advertising.

American politics will be fought over the heads of the candidates -- aerial warfare with the Democratic and Republican Parties in the trenches simply firing at each other. The real battle will be fought by surrogates, and political candidates in the Democratic and Republican Parties will be nothing but spectators in American politics.

My colleagues, the Senator from Tennessee has offered an important, in some respects the most important, amendment in campaign finance reform.

It is the difference between a few ad hoc ideas to reform the campaign finance system and ensuring that this is comprehensive and fundamentally changes the entire system. Each becomes dependent on the other.

I asked the Senator from Tennessee to change his amendment in one more respect. I do not want my intentions questioned on the Senate floor. I have voted for campaign finance reform as often as any Member of this Congress in the last 20 years -- as many times as Senator McCain, as many times as Senator Feingold. I will keep voting for reform.

My intention to ensure that this is constitutional and comprehensive is not because I oppose reform but because I want it to be genuine and complete. It is because of that that I asked the Senator from Tennessee to adjust his amendment. He complied. Under his amendment, not only are these provisions nonseverable, but there would be immediate Federal court review.

Upon action of the district court finding any provision of this legislation unconstitutional, there would be immediate appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court to ensure that this Senate had guidance immediately so we could return to session and correct any constitutional defects.

This, my colleagues, is exactly what this Senate has done in dealing with other legislation that was of questionable constitutional compliance. It is what the Senate and House of Representatives did in dealing only a few years ago with the Religious Land Use Institutionalized Persons Act. We ensured that the provisions would have to stand together, and that there would be immediate court review if they did not return to the Senate.

I do not understand, my colleagues, in fact, if we vote differently. The lessons of 1974 were learned in a very hard way. The American people lost confidence in this Government, and the campaign finance system evolved which took Members of the Congress away from their responsibilities and dispirited us and our constituents. It is not a system worthy of a good and great country -- but it is the law -- because we did not write it. We allowed others to write it. It evolved. It was not thought through or properly conceived.

I urge my colleagues to act with caution. This vote has meaning, and it will last. It will change the complexity of this entire Congress as the years pass because the access to financing and how we govern this campaign finance system governs who rules, who wins, and who loses, and what issues come before their institution. It could not be more profound.

I compliment the Senator from Tennessee for offering it. I urge my colleagues to adopt it. I yield the floor.

Mr. President, before the Senator from New Jersey leaves, I listened carefully to his remarks, and I also say to the Senator from New Jersey that not only were nonseverability clauses a part of the three campaign finance reform bills that left the Senate in 1990, 1992, and 1993, it is a part of the Harkin amendment that we just voted on a couple of hours ago which had the support of 32 Members of the Senate on his side of the aisle.

So the notion that somehow nonseverability is unusual or inappropriate is absurd. It is more often the case that these are part of campaign finance reform bills that we deal with in the Senate.

I believe it is fair to say that putting nonseverability clauses into bills is not at all unusual. Congress passing a bill with a nonseverability clause in it is very usual.

Are campaign finance laws so different from anything else that it should be looked upon differently? Because in everything else, severability is the norm. Nonseverability is very unusual. So we say we continually do it in these bills that we don't ever make into law. But we continue to put them into bills because they are campaign finance bills, and they are intricately woven.

I suggest if anybody who ever sponsored a bill -- especially a large bill on the floor of this Senate -- thinks this bill is pretty intricate, they think their bill was pretty intricately woven, also.

I don't think there is anything that unusual about campaign finance regulations except it pertains to how we raise money. That makes it unusual.

With regard to Buckley, my colleagues, of course, are correct to say the law that was passed in 1974 changed our campaign system in this country in the aftermath of Watergate. Buckley took a look at it and basically said: Congress, you can limit contributions but you can't limit expenditures.

My friend from New Jersey talks about soft money and all of that that was not relevant back then. That was in play. Certainly the so-called billionaire exception turned out to be in play with regard to Buckley, and limiting the expenditures was certainly in play. That was stricken.

But what would they have done? Would Congress, knowing they were going to have their expenditures limited, have raised the ceiling on the contributions? I don't think so. What they were doing was in response to Watergate. Would they have lowered the contributions? Basically, that is what you are talking about -- contributions and expenditures. I do not know that Congress would have done anything any differently had they known what Buckley was going to do. And, if so, why didn't they?

I think the longstanding practice we have had in this country both legislatively and in our court systems to be restrained to have severability clauses in most cases is a wise one.

I say to my friends who talk about these outside groups that both sides have groups that support them and campaign against them. As far as I am concerned, let them come on as long as I have the right to go out and be happy when groups support me or oppose my opponent, and whatnot. And there will be plenty of each. There is plenty of robust debate out there. It makes us mad sometimes. These people have a first amendment right to do that.

They also said that Senate Democrats had more independent ad money spent on them than the Republicans did. Of course, in that battle, and the Presidential race, the Republicans won. And that is one race. If you look at these soft money donors -- I say to my friend from Louisiana who is concerned about this aspect, if you look at the large soft money donors, of the top 10 of them, 6 or 7 are Democrats. They will find a way to support some of these organizations otherwise. In fact, that is a concern on our side of the aisle, that they will do that. The Democrats will have more support that way than the Republicans will have.

We will never be able to figure out exactly who is marginally helped or hurt with all of these. We have never been able to do that before.

We are in as much equilibrium now probably as we will ever be. Behavior changes. The reason we are so soft money oriented now is because we have neglected the hard money, the small dollars, for some time. I think both parties have. If we raise the hard money limits, as we have, and do away with soft money, you will see the concentration back toward the old-time way of raising money -- in smaller amounts, legitimate, limited amounts -- that we had since 1974.

Don't treat the legislation that was passed that year as a total abomination. The fact is, until the mid-1990s, the 1974 law worked pretty well. We didn't have any Presidential scandals. The money spent on each side was about the same. Sometimes the challenger won. Sometimes an incumbent won. We don't like it now because some people in the 1990s showed us some ways to get some whole new money into the process.

That is what we are reacting to now. It is not that law. It is what has been done, not just by the courts but the FEC and the Justice Department and a few others.

It is a complicated issue, but it all boils down to this: Are we prepared to get rid of the multimillionaire soft dollars that are coming from corporations and unions and wealthy individuals in this country into our political process? That is what this vote is all about.

Mr. President, I commend my colleague from Tennessee. He made a very good point at the outset on the severability issue and precedence. We went back the other day and looked at legislation over the last 10 or 15 years. We are told that of the hundreds, thousands of bills that passed the Congress, there are about 10 or 11 examples where limited severability was involved, the point the Senator was making.

Mr. President, I rise in adamant opposition to the nonseverability amendment. At the outset, let us be very clear about the unmistakable goal of this amendment. It has been signed, sealed, and delivered primarily by opponents of the bill for one and only one purpose: as a poison pill.

Of all the prescriptions for all of the poison pills that our friends on the other side of this issue have diligently mixed over the last 2 weeks, this one is the most lethal.

Why do I say that? Because it is aimed straight at the soft money ban, which is the heart and soul of this bill and has been at the core of cleaning up our campaigns since at least 1988. Banning soft money finally ends the practice, unhealthy in any democracy, whereby the wealthiest few pour millions and millions into our campaigns with no restriction at all and sometimes no disclosure, as long as the money is given to a State party.

The debate over how much advocacy groups can do is simply a sideshow. Only those who don't believe that banning soft money is key let it override the dominant purpose of this bill, to ban soft money once and for all. Banning soft money is the forest of this effort. It is far more important to the viability of our campaigns to ban soft money than regulate sham issue ads. There is no compelling reason to force the former to live or die based on the latter.

The better policy, obviously, is to see what the Court does. And if we are left with an uneven system we don't like, fix it then. That is what we always do. That is why we never enact nonseverability clauses. Only once in the last 12 years has a nonseverability provision become law, though nearly 3,000 bills were passed during that time. Passing one now will just be a transparent way of saying we never wanted to ban soft money in the first place, and we found a clever way to pass the buck.

It would be particularly ironic to do this in the name of preventing the Court from writing our campaign finance laws instead of Congress. It is precisely this amendment that gives the Supreme Court too much power, not ordinary severability of the kind we always have and that is in McCain-Feingold.

If we approve this amendment, we will be asking the Court to dictate our campaign finance laws to a far greater extent than in McCain- Feingold because the soft money ban, which is constitutional, which we and the House have debated for years and which we are poised to enact right now, will disappear even if it is not considered by the Court, much less struck down.

Why would we concede that much power to the Court? Most of the time the Senators supporting this amendment talk about the danger of judicial activism, but we will be rubberstamping a peculiar and virtually unprecedented form of judicial activism with this amendment.

In the area of campaign finance, the Supreme Court has not been infallible, although it certainly is final. We should not tie this entire bill to the Court's final decision on any one of dozens of minor provisions.

I will close by reemphasizing what the Senators from Arizona and Wisconsin have so often and eloquently said in the course of this debate. I plead with my colleagues, we cannot let the perfect be the enemy of the good. On this side of the aisle, I say to my colleagues, even if you are unhappy with the delicate balance of 501(c)(4) organizations, even if you realize they may not be limited once the courts get hold of this, don't throw out the baby with the bath water. The good in this bill is more than just good, it is great. It is a landmark achievement, the first serious reform in a generation. And we should strive to preserve it, not kick the can across the street to the Supreme Court.

That is right. We are down to a very limited amount of time. I have two or three people who want to be heard. I am going to ask the indulgence of my colleagues, unless the other side would like to give us a little time for people who want to be heard. How much time do the proponents have?

Mr. President, I think that some of what other Senators have said about the whole being greater than the sum of the parts is, in part, true. But I think the soft money ban, which is at the heart of the McCain-Feingold bill, is important enough that we want to protect it.

Second of all, I frankly don't know what the supremely political Court will do. You can argue different ways, but I would hate to see the supremely political Court render a decision taking on one part of the legislation and having the whole bill fall.

Third, I would like to point out to my colleagues that the amendment I introduced that was passed as a part of this legislation now was based upon the idea of severability. That was an amendment to improve this bill, not to jeopardize this legislation. And so, consistent with my commitment to severability, I will vote against nonseverability.

And then, finally, may I say this? How ironic it is that the amendment I introduced the other night is not even covered by this amendment that my colleagues introduced on the other side; that the amendment I introduced the other night that deals with these sham issue ads and the potential of all the soft money shifting here is still severable. It is so ironic. But I say, no self-righteousness intended, consistent with the principle of improving this bill, not in any way, shape, or form trying to jeopardize this bill, I don't even know how I am going to vote on final passage. But I certainly am opposed to this nonseverability.

John Kerry
Mr. President, it seems to me it is obvious to almost every Senator that we are sort of reaching a critical moment where we decide whether we are for campaign reform or we are not. At the bottom line, that is really what the severability issue is about, even though the severability has been limited now to a major component of the bill: Issue ads, i.e., Snowe-Jeffords, versus soft money. The soft money falls, the prohibition on it, only if the Court finds that Snowe- Jeffords is inappropriate, unconstitutional.

I say to my colleagues that the whole purpose of this reform is to get rid of the largest component of money that most taints the political process, which is soft money. One of the reasons people have doubts about their ability to be able to counter issue ads, if indeed that prohibition were to fall, is that they haven't been raising hard money, because when you can go to somebody and ask for $50,000, $100,000, $500,000, why bother going after the smaller sum of money?

So it seems to me what is ignored in this argument is, if indeed you don't have soft money, and if indeed the prohibition on issue ads, if Snowe-Jeffords were to fall, you are not defenseless at all, you still have the capacity to spend unlimited amounts of hard money in defense.

One of the reasons Senator Wellstone, Senator Biden, I, and others are so concerned about the McCain-Feingold bill in the end, though we support it, is that it ultimately only reduces a portion of the money that is in American politics. It still leaves us in a race, ever- escalating, of raising extraordinary amounts of hard money, cavorting around the country, still indebted to interests, still asking for large sums of money. We are still going to do that. I know Senators McCain and Feingold would love to go further if they could.

So, colleagues, this vote on severability is really a simple vote about whether or not we are prepared to take the risk of getting rid of the extraordinary amounts of soft money and taking on ourselves the burden, if indeed Snowe-Jeffords were to fall, of raising appropriate amounts of hard money with which to take our case to the American people.

I happen to believe very deeply that the bright-line test we have set up will withstand scrutiny. All you have to do is read Buckley v. Valeo and read the Nixon and Missouri case. The Court makes clear that it is prepared to limit contributions where they are clearly contributing to the advocacy of the election of a candidate. Anybody can watch those ads and tell the difference as to whether they are purely about an issue or trying to seek defeat or election of a candidate. I am confident we have drawn a line that will pass constitutional muster.

John McCain
Mr. President, we are now facing one of the major hurdles, and perhaps the last major hurdle, between us and successful resolution of this issue. We had to fight back a poison pill in the form of a so-called paycheck protection. We had to speak clearly that we will not accept soft money in American politics. Then we voted in favor of a very hard-fought and carefully crafted compromise in the form of the Thompson-Feingold amendment. Now we face this issue. Have no doubt about what this vote is really about. If you vote for this amendment, you are voting for soft money. That is really what this vote is all about.

Since this may be the last major obstacle we face, I take the opportunity to thank all of my colleagues for the level of this debate, the tenor of this debate. I also thank the thousands and thousands of Americans who have been active in this debate and participated with us through e-mail, phone calls, and through all communications. Without their support, we would not be where we are today.

The Senator from Arizona is also right about the ultimate point. This amendment is couched in rather technical terms -- severability or nonseverability. But it truly is the whole issue. I said it time and again, but it is the most important thing to point out to people, and that is that we have never allowed unlimited campaign contributions from corporate treasuries to political parties since 1907. We have never allowed unions to do the same thing from their treasury since 1947, the Taft-Hartley Act. But now, in the 1990s, the early part of this century, Members of Congress are engaged in asking for $100,000, $500,000, and $1 million contributions.

I say to you, Mr. President, if you told me even 10 years ago that such a practice could ever occur in this democracy, I would have been stunned. But it is standard procedure today. This vote on this amendment will decide whether this terribly unfortunate and corrupting system continues or not. This is the soft money vote. This is where the Senate takes its stand. This is the test.

Mr. President, I, too, applaud my colleagues and everybody who has participated in the debate over the last 3 hours and really over the last 10 days. But over the last 3 hours, I have been quite pleased with the nature of the discussion, the debate, the issues.

It is very clear to our colleagues what this vote is about. Although some will say it is about soft money, it is about voice and it is about the freedom in our process, freedom of political speech.

Bill Frist
Very briefly, I want to make three points in closing. No. 1, people are billing this as a poison pill. Very clearly, we are not adding anything. We are linking principally two underlying factors that are part of the underlying McCain-Feingold bill and added to the hard money the Thompson amendment. These are linked in a comprehensive, complementary, integral way. We are addressing just these three. If one falls, the other two come down; if one is unconstitutional, the others come down. Why? Because of balance.

All other provisions in this bill, whether it is increased disclosure, the provision clarifying the ban on foreign contributions, including soft money, the ban on raising money on Federal property, the millionaire amendment -- all of those stand, all of those continue regardless of what happens with the Frist-Breaux amendment and constitutionality.

The second point is, the issue has been made that most bills coming out of this body do not have nonseverability clauses, but the point was made that some do. It is in times exactly such as these where we bring people together and knit together in a comprehensive way this balance that is so critical to maintain what we all cherish, and that is freedom of speech.

It is in unusual times such as these that a nonseverability clause is called for. It is this balance. If Snowe-Jeffords falls and the ban on soft money stays, then we increase, not decrease, the role of influence of the special interest groups we talked so much about over the last 3 hours. That is not the type of reform that Americans want.

If there is one thing that has been pointed out over the last several days, it is that we must be careful whenever we pass a bill that is going to ration free speech, and that is what we are doing. We must maintain that balance, and the only way to maintain that balance is to support the nonseverability clause amendment proposed by myself and Senator John Breaux.

We even adopted the Schumer amendment which would make it difficult for parties to use coordinated expenditures over and above the current limit if the Supreme Court in fact strikes down the coordinated expenditure limit as unconstitutional, which is the case currently before the Supreme Court.

We have also defeated the non-severability clause, so that now if the Court strikes down our efforts to limit the ability of outside groups to criticize us in proximity to an election, and we are unable through the charting of new turf, new ground, to convince a court that the federalization of our parties is unconstitutional -- and no one really knows; there is no case law on that -- the parties will not be able to support their candidates against attacks by outside groups. By the way, I want you to know that I will be the plaintiff in the case. We will be meeting with the other people who are likely to be the co-plaintiffs in this case in my office next week.

If none of those things happens, you are looking at the plaintiff. I have no idea what the chances are of getting a Federal district court, or the U.S. Supreme Court, for that matter, on appeal, to tell us whether parties have a right of free association and a right of speech somewhat similar to individuals. That is really uncharted turf. We do know this: What we can calculate is what happens to the parties in a 100-percent hard money world.

I hope by now some of you have gotten -- I don't see that any of you have gotten -- where are our pages with additional copies? I guess they thought you all wouldn't be interested in this. I don't know why. Could the pages please deliver those over to the Democratic side? This won't take long.

You see the Republican National Committee would have gone from 75 million net hard dollars down to 37 million net hard dollars; the Democratic National Committee, from 48 million net hard dollars down to 20 million net hard dollars; the Republican Senatorial Committee, from 14 million net hard dollars down to 1 million. That wouldn't even cover the coordinated in New York. The Democratic Senatorial Committee, 6 million net hard dollars down to 800,000.

I don't think any of you believes seriously that Jeffords, or Wellstone, or Snowe-Jeffords are going to be upheld in court. This is an area of the law I know a little bit about. So the chances are pretty good that all of those groups that Senator Breaux was describing are going to be out there on both the right and the left pounding away.

Maybe your friends in organized labor will be able to help you, or the Sierra Club. Or maybe the NRA will come save some of our people. But under this bill, I promise you, if McCain-Feingold becomes law, there won't be one penny less spent on politics -- not a penny less. In fact, a good deal more will be spent on politics. It just won't be spent by the parties. Even with the increase in hard money, which I think is a good idea and I voted for, there is no way that will ever make up for the soft dollars lost.

What is this new world going to be like without parties? Here was a full-page ad in the paper 2 days ago by a billionaire named Jerome Kohlberg. He happens to mostly like you all, but we have some billionaires, too. They have a perfect right to spend their money any way they want to, and they will. These billionaires are the people who are underwriting the reform movement with lavish salaries for these people who are hanging around off the side of the Senate telling us that we ought to squeeze the money out of politics.

Welcome to the new world, a battle of billionaires over the political discourse in this country while we have made the political parties impotent; impotent in order to satisfy who? The New York Times, the biggest corporate soft money operation in America? The Washington Post, the second biggest corporate soft money operation in America? I know you all like them because they are sympathetic to you, but there are people on our side, too.

This is a massive transfer of speech away from the two great political parties to the press, to academia, to Hollywood, to billionaires in order to satisfy who? I have often said that this issue ranks right up there with static cling as a matter of concern to the American people.

This is a stunningly stupid thing to do, my colleagues. Don't think there is anybody out there to save us from this. I am not going to embarrass anybody, but I had a lot of frantic discussions over the course of the last 2 weeks with my friends on the other side of the aisle, hoping somebody, somewhere, somehow was going to keep this from happening. There is nobody to come to the rescue. This train is moving down the track.

This is my main point, in asking for your attention -- and I thank you for being here -- this is a candid appraisal. This is not a partisan observation. This is a candid and realistic appraisal of life after McCain-Feingold. I am sure there are very few of you who will believe this is going to improve the political system in America.

Mr. President, may I inquire, I believe there was a similar request made to respond to the unanimous consent request of the Senator from Kentucky.

Mr. President, let me reserve the time for them. I will take 2 minutes and say to my friend and colleague from Kentucky, this is a new world. I accept that description. I wouldn't call it necessarily a perfect world, but I think for those of us who support McCain-Feingold, we think this is a far better world than the one we have been engaged in over the past number of years, as we have watched the explosion of unregulated soft money flow into the political process in this country.

Chris Dodd
Senator Bennett of Utah a little while ago said no one can say for certain where this is going to go. That is true. I think we do appreciate, those of us who have supported this legislation, that a system that is devoid of unregulated soft money, and those of us who believe that the Snowe-Jeffords provisions and the price we paid by increasing modestly the hard money contributions, make this a better system than the one we presently are operating under. So, yes, it is a new world.

I happen to believe it is a vastly better world and that the American public, who have something to say about this and who have been declining, as my colleague and friend from Kentucky has pointed out, declining in their checking off on the 1040 forms of moneys to go into the public coffers to support Presidential elections is a good poll about how the public feels -- he says about public financing, I think about politics -- I am not certain this is going to change entirely the public mood. I think we are taking a giant step forward with the adoption of McCain-Feingold in improving the climate and improving the public's confidence and their respect for the political process in this country.

Let me say to my colleagues, there is an analogy that is not completely inappropriate in the sense that when you have found a way to do things and it works pretty easily and you are sort of swimming in it because it is easy, it is hard to give it up. It is not unlike an addiction in a sense. There has been an easy addiction to this flow of money.

When you look at the amounts of money, from $100 million up to $244 billion in a span of 2 years, dozens of times in excess of the rate of inflation, you have to ask: What is going on here?

I say to my colleagues, for those who fear this new world that has been defined, there are alternatives. There are other ways to do this. I am proud that I can stand as a Senator in the Senate today, having gotten elected a different way.

John Kerry
In 1996, the Governor of our State and I mutually agreed to limit the amount of money we would spend -- he, a fervent Republican; me, an ardent Democrat. We both agreed to spend the same amount of money. We both agreed that each of us would subtract from our total the amount of money that any independent expenditure ran in favor of the other person or that our parties spent on our behalf. We ran a race that was absolutely free from soft money, from party money. We had nine 1-hour televised debates, and the public knew us both, probably better than they wanted to, and made a decision.

Nothing stops one Senator from going out and raising as much hard money as they can access in a 6-year term, in amounts that have now been raised to $2,000 a person, which means you can visit one couple, a husband and wife, and you can walk out with $8,000. All of us know that one-half of 1 percent of the people in America even contribute $1,000 contributions.

So this is not a dire new world, a brave new world. This is a world the American people are asking us to live by, and countless business people across this country are sick and tired of us coming to them and saying I need $150,000 or I need $500,000 for my party. They look at the committee you serve on and they feel pressured, whether they say it or not. Whether you say it or not, it is an appearance.

So I say to colleagues, this is a world we can survive in just fine. With 6 years of incumbency, with all of the power of the incumbent, with all of the times you can return home as a Senator and meet with constituents, there isn't one of us who doesn't start with the natural advantage, even under McCain-Feingold.

As my colleagues might imagine, I take a drastically different view on effects of this legislation than the Senator from Kentucky. I realize that change can be difficult, and even a little scary, but I think it is a mistake to try to scare Members out of voting for this bill. This reform is about increasing the public's faith in our work. This bill doesn't destroy the political parties; it strengthens them by ending their reliance on a handful of wealthy donors.

Parties need money to operate, and under this reform, the national parties will be able to raise hard money, just as they have for many years. What they won't be able to do is raise the unlimited amounts of soft money. Just like the parties didn't have much, if any, soft money for much of the 1970s and 1980s.

Soft money isn't some magic bullet that the parties need to increase voter turnout or voter participation in the democratic process. Throughout much of the 1970s and 1980s, soft money was mostly absent from party fundraising. The parties raised hard money, and ran their parties on hard money. It is easy to forget that when we look at fundraising today, I know, but it is important to remember as we consider this bill. We didn't need soft money then, and we don't need it now; that is a myth that has been perpetuated, frankly, on both sides of the aisle, and it is time to put that myth to rest once and for all.

Neither party can thrive when they are beholden to the wealthy few. Soft money doesn't strengthen the parties, it undermines the spirit that keeps our parties strong. We all know that people, not soft money, are the heart and soul of our political parties.

With the soft money system, the parties have been operating outside the spirit of the law, and outside the public trust, for too many years. With this bill, we can return the parties to the people who built them in the first place. Our democracy demands vibrant political parties. No one believes that more than I do. But soft money has, ironically, cheapened our parties. I feel that is true in my own party, and I am deeply saddened to have to say that. Last spring the Democratic Party held a fundraiser where soft money donors in the arena sat down to dinner at lavishly decorated tables, while those who could only afford a cheaper ticket actually sat in the bleachers and watched them enjoy their meal. Is that party-building? I think we all know that to say that kind of event strengthens the parties is just absurd.

The parties aren't strengthened when people across the country, Republicans and Democrats, pick up the newspaper and read that their party is giving access and favors to the wealthy, while they struggle to pay for health care coverage, or they worry about how safe their drinking water is. They pick up the paper and see the parties take unlimited money from HMOs and big polluters, and they wonder how in the world could their party really stand up for them when they depend so completely on a wealthy few? The assumption that we can be bought, or that our parties can be bought, has completely permeated our culture. I'd guess that there are few if any Members of this body who haven't faced gone home to face the deep skepticism of their constituents on a given issue, when people felt like they or their party have been "bought off" by a wealthy interest.

Soft money, like perhaps no other abuse of our system in history, creates an appearance of corruption. To demonstrate that, I want to put in the record two items of interest. The first are the results of a poll conducted just last week by ABC News and the Washington Post. This poll found that 74 percent of the public now support stricter laws controlling the way political campaigns raise and spend money. That is an 8 percent increase from just a year ago. The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percent.

More important, however, the same poll found that 80 percent of the public thinks that politicians do special favors for people and groups who give them campaign contributions. And 67 percent consider this a big problem. Seventy-four percent of those who believe that politicians do special favors for donors said they think these favors are unethical.

I have felt so strongly over the past few years that money is setting the agenda that began to speak on the Senate floor during debates on substantive legislation about the money flowing from companies and groups interested in that legislation. I have called this the "Calling of the Bankroll," and since I started this practice in June of 1999, I have called the bankroll 30 times. I think it is important for us to acknowledge that millions of dollars are given in an attempt to influence what we do. The appearance of corruption is rampant in our system.

I have called the bankroll on mining on public lands, the gun show loophole, the defense industry's support of the Super Hornet and the F- 22, the Y2 K Liability Act, the Passengers' Bill of Rights, MFN for China, PNTR for China, and the tobacco industry. I have talked about agriculture interests lobbying on an agriculture appropriations bill, telecommunications interests lobbying on a tower-siting bill, and railroad interests lobbying on a transportation appropriations bill. I've talked about contributions surrounding the Financial Services Modernization Act, nuclear waste policy, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and the ergonomics issue. I have also called the bankroll on the Patients' Bill of Rights, twice, the Africa trade bill, twice, the oil royalties amendment to the fiscal year 2000 Interior Appropriations bill, twice, and I have Called the Bankroll on three tax bills, and four separate times on bankruptcy reform legislation.

One of the most important ways I think this bill can change the fundraising culture is not just by stopping soft money fundraising, but by stopping soft money fundraising by Members of Congress. Soft money fundraising is something that many Members of this body find deeply troubling. How many of Members of the Senate enjoy picking up the phone and asking a donor for $100,000? How many Senators feel uncomfortable exerting pressure on wealthy interests to come through with big contributions to fuel the fundraising contest between the parties?

I have said before that I have had Members tell me they felt like taking a shower after asking for a huge contribution. And I recently quoted Senator Miller's Washington Post op-ed, where he said that after raising soft money, he felt like "a cheap prostitute who'd had a busy day." Haven't we had enough? I think we have. When this body voted 60 to 40 against the Hagel amendment, which would have put the Senate's stamp of approval on the soft money system, I think we really turned a corner in this debate. We joined the rest of the country in recognizing that this system puts our integrity at risk, and that soft money simply isn't worth that risk anymore.

This bill will reinvigorate the political process, and it will renew faith in the parties, and in each and every one of us. With the passage of this bill, we won't have to face the accusations that our parties have been bought off by soft money. We won't have to read about million dollar donations or getaways for hundred thousand dollar donors with party leaders, and neither will our constituents. And that will do something to improve the public's attitude toward us, and I think it will improve our own feeling about the work that we do. All of us take pride in our work, and in this institution. But we all face nagging accusations that unlimited money plays a role in the legislative process in which all of us play a part. Today we have a rare chance to change that, and I believe we will.

I stand here today before my colleagues to say that soft money isn't good for politics. It is time to stop protecting soft money, or defending it as something that strengthens our parties, or the political life of the nation. Soft money removes people of average means from the political process, and replaces them with a handful of wealthy interests. So to say that soft money is good for parties is to say that people, the party faithful who should be the lifeblood of a political party, don't really count anymore. That in the quest for unlimited contributions, the parties are willing to forgo the trust of the people they purport to serve. I don't accept that point of view. And I don't think that most of my colleagues do either. Soft money does a disservice to the work of this Senate, it does a disservice to our parties, and most of all, it does a grave disservice to the American people. So let us come together to end the soft money system, and dispel the tired myth that soft money is good for democracy once and for all.

Mr. President, I am here for two reasons: First, to express my strong support for the bill we have been considering this week and last, this bipartisan campaign finance reform bill which we have come to refer to as the McCain-Feingold bill; second, I am here to offer this amendment which I believe will further improve the bill.

Our colleague from Kentucky said, as he gave his short statement a few minutes ago, now that all the important amendments have already been offered and dealt with, he wanted to go ahead with his comments. I beg to differ with him on that conclusion, that all the important amendments have been offered. This amendment I am offering today I believe is very important, and I believe it will substantially improve this legislation. It will help to address the increasingly negative nature of today's campaign advertising, and it will assist those candidates, whether they are challengers or incumbents, in responding to that negative advertising.

The debate we are engaged in is long overdue. Congress has not revised its campaign finance laws in any meaningful way since I came to the Congress in 1983. The last significant reform of campaign finance laws was in 1974. Nearly everything about campaigns has changed radically since 1974, from the tremendous amount of money that has been spent on campaigns to the technologies and methods used to communicate with voters.

I congratulate Senator McCain, my colleague from Arizona, and I congratulate Senator Feingold, my colleague from Wisconsin, on their determination in finally bringing this bill to the Senate floor. I can think of no two individuals in recent memory who have worked harder on a bipartisan basis in pursuit of basic reform than these two Senators.

They have traveled the country, one of them, of course, during the time he was running for President. They have taken the campaign finance reform message to every corner of this country. We all in this Senate, in my view, owe them a debt of gratitude. I hope our effort is worthy of their significant effort. It has been a true labor of genuine reform in the interest of better and cleaner democracy, and I am very pleased to cosponsor this legislation.

Mr. President, turning to the amendment I have offered, it is a relatively simple amendment. It proposes to accomplish a central goal, and that is to provide candidates for Federal office who are confronted with sham negative issue ads the opportunity to respond to those ads.

The amendment states that if a broadcast station, whether it is a television station or radio station, permits any person or group to broadcast material opposing or attacking a legally qualified candidate for Federal office, then that station, within a reasonable period of time, must provide, at no charge to the candidate who has been attacked, an equal opportunity to respond to those attacks.

This requirement would apply in this same period that is discussed in the legislation pending before us in the so-called Snowe-Jeffords language; that is, 60 days prior to a general election, 30 days prior to a primary election. It is in those two periods of time that the requirements apply.

All of us who have run for Federal office in recent years have been in the situation about which I am concerned. As a candidate, you are out on the hustings; you are conducting a campaign that you hope is addressing the issues voters care about; you are trying to give the people in your State, or the people in your congressional district, the best vision you can for where this country should go, what should be done in the State; and you turn on the television in your hotel room and see an ad attacking you for some issue on some basis that you probably did not anticipate. You ask yourself the questions: Who is paying for the ad? Who is this group? Who do they represent? Where did they get the information that they are using in this attack?

The process leaves the candidate, more often than not, unfairly accused of a position. It leaves voters increasingly cynical about the growing negative nature of our campaigns.

Through the loopholes in our current campaign finance laws, outside interest groups and political parties are funding hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of political ads in many of our States. Most of those are very negative and have minimal issue content. Most of those ads flood our airwaves right before the election when they will have the biggest impact on the minds of the voters.

As noted, congressional authority Norm Ornstein said these ads often dominate and drown our candidate communications, particularly in the last weeks of the campaign. While the ads are often effective in a raw and practical sense, they are incredibly corrosive; they are frequently unfair; they are sometimes very personal in the attacks they make; and they breed voter cynicism and voter apathy toward the electoral process.

We know all too well the gross aspects of the advertising, but now, thanks to a number of dedicated reform-minded groups and academicians, we have some real data to back up what we have all known as a matter of common sense for some time. The Brennan Center for Justice at NYU, New York University, and the University of Wisconsin at Madison have teamed up to develop a national database of political television advertising from the 2000 election cycle. They monitored political advertising in the Nation's top 75 media markets, and researchers, through that monitoring, have documented the frequency, the content, and the costs of television ads in the 2000 election, which duplicates a similar study they conducted in 1998.

The findings are stunning. Let me give a brief summary of what they found. First, the independent groups alone spent, conservatively estimated, about $98 million on media buys for political TV commercials in the year 2000. That is roughly a sixfold increase from what they spent 2 years before. This is not an inflationary increase; this is a sixfold increase in spending by the independent groups on these ads.

Third, while all of the unregulated issue ads produced by the parties and independent groups are supposed to theoretically cover issue positions, since they do not contain these so-called magic words that there has been a lot of discussion about on the Senate floor in the last 2 weeks, the words "noted by the Supreme Court in the Buckley decision," the public does not see these as issue ads. Virtually all ads sponsored by party committees are viewed as electioneering ads. Within 60 days of the election, 86 percent of the ads produced by independent groups are viewed by voters as electioneering. They are not seen as issue ads.

Fourth, the chart from the Brennan Center dramatically makes the point I am trying to make; the sham issue ads that are run by these groups become increasingly negative in tone as election day approaches. Issue ads by independent groups are far more likely than candidate ads or even party ads to attack candidates. Fully 72 percent of the issue group ads aired in Federal races last year directly attacked one of the candidates in the race in which they were run.

This chart is entitled "Growth of Negative Tone of Electioneering Issue Ads as Election Day Nears." There are three lines on this chart. One is the red line which represents the attack ads. This is according to the Brennan Center study. The green line is the contrast ads. The blue line is the ads to promote a particular candidate, positive advertising, "vote for me, I'm your best candidate," on Social Security, Medicare, or whatever issue.

Finally, the Brennan Center notes that issue ads that are targeted at candidates are decisively negative in tone and pursue the tact of attacking a candidate's character. These ads do not discuss substantive issues; they often focus on personal histories of the candidate.

The dramatic thing about the chart, which covers the period from January to the beginning of November of the year 2000, the negative ads are virtually nonexistent, very low level negative ads, until June; and then in the last couple of months of the campaign, the negative ads overwhelm the rest of the advertising. These are the negative ads that are being run almost exclusively by the independent groups -- not by the candidate. The candidates do not want to be associated with negative ads, so they stay out of this and let the independent groups run the very negative ads.

I believe this study I have referred to provides the hard data to back up what we have all known for some time. That is, that sham issue ads are increasing sevenfold each election. They are casting a negative and personal tone to campaigns and are particularly effective and dominant in the last few weeks before election day. There is not a voter in any one of our States who would not validate these findings from their personal experience of watching television or listening to the radio. I heard this refrain from people in my State of New Mexico constantly during the last campaign cycle. They thought the airwaves were clogged with ads and that the majority of them were too negative. The complaint is constant by the public. It is well justified.

That brings me back to the amendment I am offering. Again, the amendment is straightforward. Let me make it very clear to people what the amendment does not do. First of all, the amendment does not in any way restrict the ability of any candidate to run any ad they want. It does not put on broadcasters, radio or television broadcasters any obligation with regard to those ads, except to run the ads, obviously. That obligation is already there. The amendment does not affect ads sponsored by the candidate or the candidate's committee.

Second, the amendment does nothing to restrict either the candidate or a party or an independent group from running any and all ads they want that are positive or that are contrast ads. On the chart, the green lines are contrast ads and the blue line is for ads that promote the candidate. We are in no way talking about those in this amendment. There is no requirement on broadcasters to take any action with regard to those. They can take those ads sponsored by anybody they want without incurring any obligation.

In the case of an independent group or a party that wants to run attack ads, which they are free to do, there is no prohibition against running attack ads, if they want to run attack ads. The broadcasters who run those ads then have an obligation to provide the candidate who is attacked with an opportunity to respond. This is a level playing field kind of amendment. We are saying to broadcasters, if you want to accept these attack ads during these short periods of time, 30 days prior to a primary, 60 days prior to a general election, you are not required to, of course; there is no obligation under the Constitution or anything else that you accept ads from noncandidates; but if you want to accept these ads, fine, just provide an opportunity for the candidate who is attacked to respond.

I hope very much we can agree to this amendment. While McCain- Feingold's legislation goes to the very heart of the issue that plagues us today, the soft money loophole that has allowed sham issue ads to proliferate, I believe outside groups will continue to run those ads and this brand of negative issue advocacy is, unfortunately, here to stay. In that environment, I believe it is essential we provide a way to hold outside groups accountable for the content of the ads they run by providing the opportunity for candidates who are the targets of the ads to respond no matter how poorly or how well their campaigns may be funded.

Mr. President, let me thank our colleague from New Mexico for proposing this amendment. All of us here, and those who pay any attention at all to politics in this country and are confronted with this, as most Americans are, if you look at this chart by the Senator from New Mexico, particularly in that August, September, October period of an election year, it is hard not to be confronted with the assault -- that is the only way to describe this -- of ads on television from one end of the country to the next, on every imaginable radio station, television station, now cable stations -- this bombardment that occurs.

What the Senator from New Mexico has graphically demonstrated with his chart is that the overwhelming majority of these ads are the so- called attack ads. Usually, they are very vicious, designed to not promote one's ideas nor one's vision, one's agenda -- if they are elected to Congress or the Senate or the Presidency or some other office -- but merely to try to convince the rest of us why you ought to be against someone; not why you ought to be for me but why you ought to be against my opponent.

The least enlightening part of a campaign is the proliferation of these ads. They do nothing, in my view, to contribute to the education, the awareness of the American people. We have seen an explosion of them over the past few years. I suspect this has probably been in the last 6 or 7 years, with the explosion of soft money that the McCain-Feingold bill seeks to shut down.

As I understand, we are not talking about ads where candidate X goes after candidate Y -- an individual candidate making a case, although I have problems with that as well, but what the Senator from New Mexico is talking about are these issue-based ads where they get away with it by merely not putting in a line at the end -- they don't say at the end "vote for," "vote against," but that is hardly a necessary tag line after they have proceeded to just destroy your reputation and probably that of your families and your neighborhood, and any pets you may have as well.

These are designed to be sort of nuclear bombs on people. We have all seen them. Some of them are almost laughable they are so bad, and I suspect the damage may be minimal because they are so bad. Unfortunately, many of them are very effective.

The theory works, again, if I can get you to hurt my opponent or hurt someone whom I think may be inimicable to my special interest, you are more likely to vote for the person you know less about or nothing about. So this has become a standard diet to which the American public is subjected every late summer and fall of an election year.

As I understand it, what the Senator from New Mexico attempts to do is address these issue-based ads, ads not from a specified opponent but, rather, from one of these amorphous organizations that, up to now, have had unlimited sources of revenue to come in and destroy a reputation without having any fingerprints. You can't find out who contributes the money; you can't find out where they come from; usually your opponent says I know nothing about them; in many cases the opponent will hold a press conference to disavow that ad and say I deplore that kind of advertising, while simultaneously winking and allowing this process to go forward, distorting the political process.

The Senator from New Mexico makes a very valid point in his amendment. It is something we are getting further and further away from, by the way. The airwaves in this country belong to the American public. We give people the privilege to utilize those air waves for the benefit of the American public. It is not a right; it is a privilege. It is a limited privilege, based on your sense of responsibility. That privilege or that license can be removed if you abuse it.

There are numerous examples, almost on a daily basis, where that happens. What the Senator from New Mexico, as I understand it, is suggesting is that if, in your discretion as a radio station or television station, you decide to tolerate this kind of political advertising, knowing full well how damaging it can be, then we have the right to say to that station you must extend to that candidate an opportunity to respond to that kind of garbage.

I think this has value. It will have the net effect of ending these issue-based ads that destroy people's reputations and destroy any sense of understanding of what that particular campaign may be about. To that extent, everyone is benefitted -- not the candidate so much, in my view, but the voting public who may learn more about what people stand for, rather than what some issue group dislikes about a candidate.

I am attracted to this amendment. I think it contributes to McCain- Feingold. Obviously, there are questions that will be raised about constitutionality. My friend and colleague is a brilliant lawyer. He understands it well. He has crafted it about as tightly as you can to achieve the desired result. I think it is worthy of our support.

I go back to the point I made earlier. We are seeing a declining level of participation too often in the political life of our country. How sad I think all of us are when we see that. There are a myriad of reasons for it, but one of the major reasons is this growing disgust people have over the low level of debate, the way campaigns are conducted. It is all done now on television and radio; most of it in negative ads, as this graph so graphically points out.

We wonder why only one out of every two eligible adult Americans participated in the national elections of this past fall. Fifty percent of adult eligible Americans stayed home. I know some may have done so for legitimate personal reasons. I suspect a significant majority of those who stayed home did so because they are fed up. They are fed up with the process. They think it is out of control, and one of the strongest pieces of evidence of that is this: a deluge of negative ads that have swamped the airwaves of this country and have the net effect of depressing turnout of the vote and disgusting the American public.

Mr. President, I rise in opposition to the amendment. I appreciate very much what the Senator from New Mexico is attempting to do. He has identified very eloquently an enormous problem that we have with these so-called attack ads which we don't know who paid for and which are clearly not identified. With passage of McCain-Feingold, I think we will make some progress in that area.

I say that also as a person who supports free television time for candidates. I agree with the Senator from New Mexico that when a broadcast station obtains a license, they sign a piece of paper that says they will act in the public interest. I think that Americans believe free television time for candidates can be very helpful.

First of all, who would determine if an ad was indeed a negative ad? Is there going to be a censorship board? Is there going to be a group of Americans who say, OK, watch all of these ads and see which one is negative and which one is not? Is an ad that says: Call your Senator -- which I have seen many times -- and ask him or her to save Social Security a negative ad or a positive ad?

I don't know who makes this determination as to what is indeed a negative ad. Is it the argument of every candidate I have ever known that says that wasn't a negative ad; I was trying to inform the people of my district or State about the fact that my challenger is a baby killer?

It is very difficult to define what a negative ad is. Suppose we had some organization that could determine that this is a negative ad. What if a broadcaster had already sold all their television time? It is the last week of the campaign. It is certainly not unusual that a broadcaster has sold all of their television time in the last 2 or 3 weeks. Do they have to pull ads off the air and replace them with the ads that are mandated by this legislation? I am not sure how you do that either, especially in a Presidential election year. That is time already sold.

So the night before the election or 3 days before the election, I say: Wait a minute. My opponent is running attack ads. Now you have to run three times that many on my behalf or against them. However, they say: I am sorry. We have sold all of our time.

What is your option then? Suppose they had some television time. What is fair ad placement? Reruns of "Gilligan's Island" at 2 a.m. or is it the evening news? I don't know exactly. One station maybe has a higher rating than the other station. You are going to give me the local channel 365 versus the CBS, ABC, NBC, or FOX Network.

I want to repeat. I am for free television time for candidates. I detest the negative advertising. I think it is one of the worst things that has ever happened in American politics, that we have these unnamed, unknown groups calling themselves by some attractive name and buy millions of dollars of advertising, and they basically viciously attack their opponents.

I know Senator McConnell, the Senator from Kentucky, will be back fairly soon. I understand they have a minimal number of amendments. I still think we can get done in a relatively short period of time.

I hope all Senators who have amendments will come over so we can start putting these amendments in order and so we can get time agreements, and perhaps not just time agreements but agree to amendments that are satisfactory to both sides so we can wind up all of this.

Since I have been here, no one has been easier to work with and kinder to me than the Senator from New Mexico. I really appreciate the time which he had for me and Senator McCain. He has been a totally stalwart supporter of reform every year, and has been there on every key vote in this debate. I thank him also for the amendment which we adopted that requires disclosure of Presidential inaugural funds. That is exactly the kind of thing we are trying to accomplish in this effort so the public can be fully informed of what is going on with all of these venues where large amounts of money can have a negative impact on some of our most sacred public traditions.

The bill addresses a number of problems with our system which the Senator from Connecticut correctly pointed out must be addressed. It is a problem that deserves more study. I don't think this particular approach is one that I am quite ready to accept. I am willing to look at it some more.

Let me also in response to my good friend from Arizona say that there are a number of amendments that Members have that have been coming over with great regularity over the last 2 weeks. I have been sitting here for 2 straight weeks. We have had very few quorum calls. I have been asking the indulgence of my colleagues to postpone their offering of amendments over the past 2 weeks while we considered some of these other amendments, such as the ones that we most recently rejected dealing with severability. But these are serious amendments.

But I know my colleagues from Michigan, from Florida, and Illinois, also my colleague from Minnesota, among others, have some amendments, some of which will probably be agreed to. My hope is that certainly will be the case. But others may require a little debate. I apologize to them because I don't want them to think this is going to be a rush deal. If they want to be heard, they are going to be heard. I bear some responsibility for having told them to wait while we considered some of these other amendments.

I promise you, I am not going to then ask you to somehow be on a fast track here when you want your amendment considered and debated adequately. My hope is you will be able to do it in less amounts of time than we have allocated for every amendment. You get 3 hours if you want it, unless you yield back time or the opponents do. We ought to try to move along if we can. I want you to know, I think your amendments are serious and they deserve to be heard, debated, and voted upon, if you so desire.

There were several questions raised. Let me be clear so there is no confusion about this. If an independent group or a party committee or anybody else wants to run an advertisement endorsing or supporting a candidate for office, this amendment does nothing to restrict that, prohibit it, impose obligations on broadcasters, or anything else. That is perfectly appropriate. If anybody wants to take an ad out for my opponent and run ads in favor of my opponent, they should be able to do that.

If they want to run ads that contrast my opponent's position with my position, that would be these ads that are reflected by the green line on the chart, it is entirely appropriate, no obligation on the part of broadcasters. This amendment only deals with advertisements which attack or oppose a legally qualified candidate.

The question has been raised by the Senator from Arizona, who will decide whether this is a negative ad, whether this is an ad that attacks or opposes a candidate for public office. My initial reaction is to refer to Justice Stewart's great comment when he was told that he could not define "pornography." He said: I may not be able to define it, but I know it when I see it. Government can regulate pornography because of that. The American people know a negative television ad or a negative radio ad when they see it or hear it. The answer to who will decide initially, the person who will decide is the candidate who is being attacked or the candidate's campaign who is being attacked; they would detect an advertisement that is attacking them by a group is being run by a broadcasting station and they would presumably go to that broadcasting station and say, this is an advertisement that falls within the definition of this statute and we would like our time to respond. That is how it would work.

We have been very specific about what kinds of ads they would be entitled to respond to, what kinds of ads they would reply to. The term "attacked" or "opposed" means, with respect to a clearly identified candidate, first, A, any expression of unmistakable and unambiguous opposition to the candidate. So that is pretty easy to determine. You can listen to an advertisement on radio. You can see an advertisement on television and determine whether it is, in fact, an unmistakable and unambiguous statement in opposition to the candidate. Or, B, if it does not fall within that description, it would be any communication that contains a phrase such as "vote against," "defeat" or "reject" or campaign slogan or words that when taken as a whole and with limited reference to external events, such as proximity to the election, can have no reasonable meaning other than to advocate the defeat of one or more clearly identified candidates, regardless of whether or not the communication expressly advocates a vote against the candidate.

If it could have no reasonable meaning other than to advocate the defeat of the candidate, then it is an advertisement that would entitle the candidate who is being attacked or being opposed the opportunity to respond. That is, we have given a tight definition. It would be up to the candidate or his campaign, first of all, to identify that such an ad is running, and then they would presumably go to the broadcast station and say: Look, this is what this advertisement is. I should get equal time to respond.

Of course, the broadcast station at that point has to either say yes or no. If they say no, then of course it goes, as all other matters in our society, to some judge, presumably. If the candidate wants to push the issue, the judge will decide whether the candidate should have the right to respond on that station.

A second objection that was raised is, what if the station in question has already sold all their time. If they have sold all their time, and some of it, of course, to the organization that is running the attack ads, they would have to make room for the candidate to respond during the time period between then and the election on a basis that would be considered equal. He asked: What is fair in ad placement? And we have used general language here that the candidate would be entitled to respond for the same amount of time during the same period of the day and week as was used by the person who is doing the attack.

I am sure there are details of this that will be debated and discussed, if this becomes law, as there always is in every piece of legislation we pass. It is pretty clear what we are talking about. We are talking about a limited time period, 30 days before a primary, 60 days before a general election. We are talking about ads that involve attacking or opposing a candidate for Federal office, and we are providing a pretty precise definition of what "attack" or "oppose" means for purposes of this statute applying.

I believe this would be an enforceable provision. It would be an understandable provision. I think it would add greatly to the quality of the campaigns that we run in this country. It would be fair to the candidates in the sense that they would have the opportunity to respond. That is all we are saying.

In this country, we used to have a fairness doctrine. I know that has become something of a dead letter, but there used to be an obligation on the part of broadcasters to provide equal time for people to respond when there were particularly controversial positions taken and attacks. This is not a fairness doctrine, but this is the same basic concept.

When a candidate has been qualified to run for Federal office, clearly that candidate is fair game for any attack that the candidate's opponent or opponents want to make. There is no obligation on any broadcaster who wants to take those ads by opponents of that candidate. But if the candidate is attacked or opposed by people who are not in the race, by organizations that are not part of the campaign, then that is where the candidate should, once again, be given a chance to respond.

I believe it is a good amendment. I hope very much we can get a favorable vote on it. I know my colleague from Nevada, Senator Reid, had indicated earlier he might want to make some comments in reference to this amendment. I don't know if he is prepared to do that at this point or if I should yield back my time. I will withhold at this point and yield the floor so my colleague from Nevada can speak on the issue.

I say to the Senator from New Mexico, everything that I could have said, he said. Anything that I wanted to say, he has said, and has done it much better than I could have. Based upon that, I think we should vote.

Does that mean if I took out an ad and I say I am a better candidate than Mr. Smith and I am opposed to him, is that an attack ad? That is the first definition.

Mr. President, again, if the Senator will yield, they would certainly be able to run that ad. But if they say we oppose Senator McCain, then Senator McCain should have an opportunity to come on and say, "I believe people should still vote for me" in spite of the fact that the Sierra Club, or whoever, opposes him.

So any organization in America that opposes me, no matter if it is in the mildest terms, and supports my opponent, therefore, I have the right to go get free television time. I don't quite understand that, frankly. I think what you are doing, probably -- the effect would be, one, that the broadcast stations probably would not sell time because of the requirement to respond, which is, by the way, what happened in the fairness doctrine. What happened in the fairness doctrine, which was a good idea, was that broadcast stations decided not to air any controversial opinion because somebody was going to say, "I have another opinion and I have to have free time." That led to the demise of the fairness doctrine.

Let me just continue, if I might. The Senator said this is not unlike the ability of the State to control pornography. The reason the Court decided that we had a right, as far as child pornography was concerned, is that it was a compelling State interest. I don't think you can make the same argument in respect to television time or attack ads.

Who decides that? The Senator says you go to the station and get free time and, if not, you go to a judge. Now you are asking a judge to look at every commercial, or you are asking the broadcast station to look at every commercial and make some decision as to whether it is an attack ad or not. I will tell you if I were on the station, I would say never mind; why should I take a risk when I am not sure this ad is an attack ad or not.

This is the problem we had when we have gone over and over and over this issue. How do you stop these attack ads without infringing on freedom of speech and not being so vague that it is very difficult to stand constitutional muster? The difference between Snowe-Jeffords and this amendment is that Snowe-Jeffords draws a very bright line and it says:

That is a very bright line. This is a campaign slogan or words that, when taken as a whole and with limited reference to external events, such as "proximity to an election" -- these words -- I admit to the Senator from New Mexico, I am not a lawyer, but I have been involved so long and so engaged in these issues that words do have meaning, and this amendment is very vague.

I am sure we can make a judgment on a lot of ads we have seen and the same ads the Senator and I find disgusting and distasteful and should be rejected. But at the same time, I don't know how we can say, OK, if this station doesn't run my ads, I am going to go to a judge and have the judge make them run my ads. It just is something that would be very difficult.

I would love to work with the Senator from New Mexico. He has been a steadfast stalwart for campaign finance reform. I would love to work with him to try to achieve this goal. Frankly, after going around and around on this issue, identifying who paid for the ad, full disclosure and, frankly, not allowing corporations and unions to contribute to paying for these things in the last 60, 90 days, which is part of our legislation, is about the only constitutional way that we thought we could address the issue.

As the Senator pointed out, they are dramatically on the increase. I will tell you what. You cut off the soft money, you are going to see a lot less of that. Prohibit unions and corporations, and you will see a lot less of that. If you demand full disclosure for those who pay for those ads, you are going to see a lot less of that because people who can remain anonymous or organizations that can remain anonymous are obviously much more likely to be a lot looser with the facts than those whose names and identity have to be fully disclosed to the people once a certain level of investment is made.

Mr. President, I thank the Senator from Arizona for his comments. I understand the concerns he has raised. Let me make one thing very clear. Snowe-Jeffords is a prohibition against certain acts by certain groups. Now, that is a very different kettle of fish than what I am proposing.

My amendment does not in any way prohibit anyone from running ads. All my amendment says is that if an independent group wants to run an ad that attacks or opposes a candidate, then the candidate is entitled to an opportunity to respond to the ad.

That is a very different thing than saying, during certain periods of time, groups cannot run ads. So I think the constitutional problem that people have raised with regard to Snowe-Jeffords is much less of a concern than the kind of amendment that I have proposed.

This amendment is designed to deal with a particular type of advertisement run by groups other than the candidate and the candidate's committee during certain periods of time. I think we have clearly defined what we are talking about. There are many advertisements that would not fall within the definition of attacking or opposing a candidate. Certainly, there is nothing here that would in any way obligate broadcasters, when they take those kinds of ads. But when they are running ads that do attack or oppose a candidate, then they would be under an obligation to provide an opportunity to respond. I think that is eminently fair, constitutional, and consistent with the general obligation that I believe broadcast stations ought to have to present both sides of an issue during a campaign when a candidate has become qualified for a Federal office. For that reason, I urge my colleagues to support the amendment.

Mr. President, I spoke about this amendment last week that I had introduced to try to correct an inequity in the law we passed last year that required State and local candidates to file with the IRS as a 527 political organization. I think the purpose of this was not to affect State and local candidates who have no involvement in a Federal election. I think we did intend to include any PAC that might have an influence on a Federal election.

I worked with Senator Lieberman, Senator McCain, and others who were interested in trying to fix this problem. But I did give the commitment that we would not allow the bill to be blue-slipped in the House because of this amendment. The fact is, we came to an agreement among all the parties who worked together on the Senate side that would correct the problem. Senator Lieberman, Senator McConnell, Senator Dodd, Senator McCain, and I, all agreed that the language would do the job, but I could not get the commitment from the Ways and Means Committee on the House side not to blue-slip the bill even though I think a blue slip was not warranted. I made the commitment on the floor I would not do anything to jeopardize the bill procedurally with a blue-slip question.

All along, the commitment and the understanding have been, I believe by all parties, that we would spend 2 legislative weeks on this issue and we would have a full debate and votes on amendments, and that we would bring to it a conclusion at about this time so we could be prepared to move on to other very critical national issues. I am not sure exactly how many amendments are still remaining.

I think we are ready to complete action on this legislation. We have no more than four amendments on our side, and we think we could be prepared to work through those very quickly. I am not sure exactly what remains on the Democratic side, but I believe that the opponents and proponents are ready to vote. We have been through this. We have not moved toward a filibuster or cloture on either side. Although, in talking to Senator McCain a moment ago, he was saying that, if it were necessary, he hopes that I would file cloture on this bill. Can you believe those words came from his mouth? If I had to, of course, the cloture would ripen on Saturday. I don't think we should end this process that way.

So I would like to propose a unanimous consent request. I haven't precleared this with Senator Daschle. He looked over it. We talked about it. I am not exactly sure what his thinking is. I would be willing to consider other ideas if somebody has a good idea about how we can complete it. This is the fairest way.

I ask unanimous consent that all remaining amendments in order to S. 27 be limited to 30 minutes equally divided and all other provisions of the consent agreement of February 6, 2001, remain in order.

This has been a very good debate. No one has talked about the need to file cloture. I hope we will not have any reason to do that in the future. I believe Senators ought to have an opportunity to have their amendments considered and have a vote. So until I have had the opportunity to consult more carefully with those colleagues who still have outstanding amendments, I have to object.

I think the majority of those who had talked to me were hoping we would not have a window. I think we need to keep our nose to the grindstone and try to complete this legislation. I am not saying it won't happen. I don't think we should make a commitment of a window. My wife will be waiting for me to come home and have supper. When we complete our work, I will go home and have supper with her. She may be hungry, but she waits.

Those who show up with a tuxedo, that will count as having fulfilled your commitment to the dinner because it would show intent to be there, but a higher calling prevented your presence. You might want to don your evening attire and come to the floor and wait for an opportunity to vote.

Mr. President, this amendment, as modified, seeks to accomplish two objectives. One objective is to set forth findings to provide a factual basis to uphold the constitutionality of the statute, and the second objective is to insert a definition so that the bill will survive constitutional challenge under the Buckley v. Valeo decision, which has language that required specifically saying "vote for," "support," with ads being deemed to be issue advertisements where the obvious intent is to extol the virtues of one candidate and to comment extensively on the deficiencies of another candidate; and notwithstanding the clear purpose of these ads in the 1996 Presidential election and the Presidential election of 2000, those ads were deemed to be issue ads and, therefore, could be paid for with soft money.

The bill as presently written endeavors to provide a bright-line test with the provision of identifying a specific candidate. The reason I am able to abbreviate the argument this evening, or the contentions this evening, is that we had about 2 hours of debate last Thursday.

The critical language in the bill is the reference to a clearly identified candidate for Federal office. Now this may or may not be a sufficiently bright line to satisfy the requirements of Buckley v. Valeo, or in fact it may not be because it does not deal with the kind of specific urging of a candidate to "vote for" or "support," which Buckley has talked about.

In Buckley, in a very lengthy opinion, the Supreme Court of the United States said that in order to avoid the constitutional challenge for vagueness, those specific words of support -- "vote for" or "vote against" -- had to be used in order to avoid the vagueness standard of the due process clause of the fifth amendment.

What this amendment seeks to do is to provide an alternative test, which is derived from the decision of the court of appeals for the Ninth Circuit in the Furgatch case, and this definition is really Furgatch streamlined. The original amendment that was offered provided that the context of the advertisement was "unmistakable, unambiguous, and suggestive of no plausible meaning other than an exhortation to vote for or against a specific candidate." In our debate last Thursday, there were arguments made that the language of "unmistakable" and "unambiguous" left latitude for a challenge.

In the amendment which has been modified, it is deemed to be sufficient to have the language be "suggestive of no plausible meaning other than an exhortation to vote for or against a specific candidate." This really sharpens up Furgatch, really streamlines Furgatch in order to pass constitutional muster.

The findings which have been set forth in the modified amendment seek to characterize events which have occurred in the intervening 25 years since the decision of Buckley v. Valeo, reciting how much money has been paid, the very heavy impact of funding, the ads really, in effect, urging the election of one candidate and the defeat of another so that, by any logical definition, they would be deemed advocacy ads and not issue ads, but they do not meet the magic words test of Buckley v. Valeo.

The expanded test of having "no plausible meaning other than an exhortation to vote for or against a specific candidate" would make it plain that the kinds of ads which have been viewed as being issue ads are really advocacy ads.

We had an extended debate last Thursday about the impact of this language on the balance of what is in the bill at the present time on a clearly identified candidate. This modified amendment has been very carefully crafted to meet the concerns that if the Supreme Court of the United States determines that the language in the underlying bill is sufficient, and the language added in this modified amendment is insufficient, that one or the other will be stricken so that there is a severability clause within this amendment as modified.

We have already legislated, we have already adopted an amendment to provide for severability. So it may be this is surplusage or it may be that it is necessary, but it does not do any harm to have this language.

I am not yet asking for the yeas and nays to see if the arguments which may be presented here are suggestive of some further modification which would require consent after asking for the yeas and nays, but it is my intention, as I have notified the managers, to seek a rollcall vote. I yield the floor.

Mr. President, I wonder if I can be yielded 5 minutes, 2\1/2\ minutes from either side, because I am not sure if I am for or against it because I don't have a copy of the final product. May I ask the Senator to yield me 2\1/2\ minutes from his side?

I yield myself 2\1/2\ minutes from our side. We are trying to determine which version of the amendment is pending. I ask the Senator from Pennsylvania, are the references in the findings to -- we now have a modified amendment. Are there any references to the specific candidates in the 1996 Presidential campaign left in here?

Mr. President, I wonder if I can have the attention perhaps of all of my colleagues on this question. It may be a question in which we are all interested. It relates to the findings. For instance, one of the findings here says that both the Clinton and Dole ad campaigns should have been subject to the limits, implying that, in fact, they had somehow or other violated the limits of the campaign despite the 6-0 vote of the Federal Election Commission which rejected the recommendation that either of the campaigns repay the money.

I happen to agree with the Senator from Pennsylvania on the thrust of his amendment, by the way, because I have always liked the Furgatch test myself. I cannot speak for the floor manager on this side. I do not know where he is. But I do think these findings should be reviewed because I do not think we want to reach any conclusion that any of the expenditures of the Presidential campaigns violated that law in 1996.

Mr. President, the further modification has been made to satisfy some concerns about drafting. I believe the language had been definitive, but it was faster to make some changes than it was to debate that proposition. And where we are now -- if I may have the attention of the Senator from Michigan -- where we are now is to satisfy all the parties that what we are accomplishing on this amendment is that if the Snowe-Jeffords test is held to be unconstitutional by a final judicial decision, then the modified Furgatch test will be applied to define an advocacy advertisement which will satisfy Buckley v. Valeo that the advertisement "is suggestive of no plausible meaning other than an exhortation to vote for or against a specific candidate." The additional sentence has been made: "Further, nothing in this subsection shall be construed to affect the interpretation or application of 11 CFR, 100.22(b)," which is the current FEC regulation on an electioneering communication which follows Furgatch.

Then the further modified amendment strikes the findings, and they will be supplemented at a later time because to call through and satisfy all the parties as to the findings would take longer than we can accomplish it simply by full striking, which this further modification does.

Mr. President, we are in the process of rapidly completing this bill. I would not have come over to speak, except that it was clear to me that, for the moment, nothing was happening. I have not yet spoken on it. And while I think it is clear what the outcome will be, I at least want to go on record on this issue.

Free speech in America is a very funny thing. If a person goes out and burns the American flag and they say they are exercising free speech or they dance naked in a nightclub and say that that was personal expression, a league of defenders springs up in America to defend the first amendment of the Constitution. Yet when someone proposes that we preserve free speech about the election of our Government and the election of the men and women who serve the greatest country in the history of the world, when such a motion is made, it dies from a lack of a second.

It is astounding to me that free speech in America has come to protect flag burning and nude dancing but yet the greatest deliberative body in the history of the world feels perfectly comfortable in denying the ability of free men and women to put up their time and their talent and their money to support the candidates of their choice.

I can't help but say a little something about the protagonists in this debate. I would like to begin by saying of my dear friend Senator McCain, with whom I profoundly differ on this issue, I have the highest respect for him. In fact, he has reminded me in this debate of an ancient god, Antaeus, whose mother was the earth, and every time he was thrown to the ground, he became stronger than he had been when he was cast down.

You ask yourself: Why do people want to influence the Government? Why do people want to influence the Government of the United States of America? It seems to me there are really two reasons: One, they have strong feelings about something. They love their country. They have strong passions and they want to express them. And who would want to prevent them from expressing themselves? I say nobody should.

The second reason they want to influence the Government is that the Government spends $2 trillion a year, most of it on a noncompetitive basis. The Government sets the price of milk. The Government grants numerous favors. If we were serious about campaign reform, we would try to change the things that lead people to want to influence the Government for their advantage, and we would want to leave in place a system where people could express their love and their passions. Yet there is no proposal here to end the Government setting the price of milk. There is no proposal here that would have competitive bidding on contracts. Instead, we single out one source of influence, and that source of influence is money. Our problem is not bad money corrupting good men, our problem is bad men corrupting good money.

When I listen to my colleagues talk about this corrupting influence, let me say they apparently have lived a different political life than I have lived. I have never in my 22 years in public office and in the 2 years prior to that, when I ran unsuccessfully for the Senate and lost, had anyone come up to me and say: If you will vote the way I want you to vote, I will contribute to your campaign. I am proud that 84,000 people contribute to my campaign, and I believe they contribute to me because they believe in the things I believe in. I am proud to have their support. I don't apologize for it.

Remember this, and this is what is lost in this whole debate: This is an Alice in Wonderland debate where black is white and wrong is right. It is a debate that ignores the fundamental nature of the American political system. Government has power and people want to influence it. If we limit the power of people to spend their money, we strengthen the power of people who exert influence in other ways. We don't reduce power. We don't reduce whatever corruptive influence may exist among the people who want to influence government. We simply take power away from some people and, by the very nature of the system, we give it to somebody else.

Why should the New York Times have more to say in my election than the New York Stock Exchange? Is the New York Times not a for-profit company? Why should they have the right to run editorials and write front-page articles that can have a profound impact on your election, and they are a for-profit corporation, publicly traded, and yet we say in this bill, they, but not others, have freedom of speech? They can say whatever they want to say. But yet the New York Stock Exchange is denied the same freedom. How can that be rational? How can that be just?

What makes this debate an Alice in Wonderland debate is that the people who support this bill are the very people who will benefit from taking the American people out of the debate by limiting the ability of people to put up their time and their talent and their money.

The very groups, the so-called public interest groups, the media, the very people who preach endlessly about this issue and about this bill being in the public interest, they are the very people who win an enhancement of their political power from this bill. What we are hearing identified as public interest is greedy, selfish, special interest. The amazing thing is that the voice of freedom and the right of people to be heard is not represented to any substantial degree on the floor of the Senate.

If I should believe, as a free person, that the Senator from Virginia is the new Thomas Jefferson and I believe the future of my children will be affected by his political success, don't I have the right to sell my house, to sell my car and to use that money to help him be elected? Why shouldn't I have that right? Who has the right to take that away from me? No one has the right to take it away from me. But this bill does take it away from me.

This distinction between soft money and hard money is a fraud. What we are seeing here is an effort to collect political power and to concentrate it. Our Founders understood special interests. The Senator from Arizona and the Senator from Wisconsin are not the first people in the history of this country who have ever been concerned about special interests. James Madison understood special interests. He understood that the way you deal with them is to allow many special interests to be created and have them compete against each other.

The editorial proponents of this bill see it as somehow corrupting when somebody contributes money to my campaign. But I wonder if really they support the bill because they know that the contributors of such money, with that participation and interest, offset the influence of their editorials and their political power. Why should some people have freedom and not others? That is the profound issue that is being debated here.

This is a total fabrication. The constituency for this bill is a group of special interests who cloak themselves as public interest advocates and it is they who will have their power enhanced by limiting the ability of people to put up their time, talent, and money in support of candidates. The so-called public interest promotion of the bill in editorials across America is coming from the very people who will become more powerful if this bill is adopted.

If editorialists in America, if Common Cause, and all these similar groups, can induce the Congress to limit freedom of speech to enhance their power, what strength will those who oppose their views have when freedom of speech has been, in fact, limited? I think that is something that should give us all pause, though I have no doubt there will be no pause tonight.

It is as if we look at the Constitution and we say that what is at stake is either protection of the first amendment of the Constitution, or whether we are going to get a good editorial in tomorrow morning's newspaper, and the judgement is made that tomorrow morning's newspaper is much more important than the first amendment of the Constitution.

We have a bill before us that says you can't run ads. If I wanted to run ads supporting you, or give you money to spend, I can't do it. We are all unhappy that these special interest groups run ads. It hurts my feelings. When people tell my mama that I am this terrible, bad person, that I have sold out to the special interests, my mama asks me, "Why can they say that?" How can they say it? You know why they can say it? Because they have the right to say it because of the first amendment of the Constitution. It is not true, but it doesn't have to be true.

I can only speak for myself, but I have never, ever felt compromised because somebody supported me. I have felt honored, I have felt grateful, but I have always believed they supported me because of what I believed. In fact, on many occasions, when people have supported me -- the AMA is a perfect example. When I was a young man running for Congress, the American Medical Association supported me and just thought I was wonderful. Now they don't like me. What changed? They changed; I didn't change. I have always been for freedom. When I stood right at this desk and helped lead the effort to kill the Clinton health care bill, I did it because I believed in freedom, and they loved it. Now that they want to kill HMOs, they don't think so much of freedom anymore.

But I didn't feel corrupted by them giving me money. They supported me because of what I believed in. When they didn't believe it anymore, they changed; I didn't change. So I don't know what is in the hearts of those who feel this corruption. I do not feel it. I think corruption, as it is portrayed in the media, has increasingly become a codeword for anybody who can speak for themselves and, therefore, doesn't have to be too concerned about the commentary of some special interest group or the media.

What this bill is going to do, and the terrible effect of it if it does become law, is that it is going to limit the ability of people to tell their side of the story. I think that is fundamentally wrong. I still do not understand how someone can burn a flag, and that is freedom of speech; someone can dance naked in a night club, and that is freedom of public expression; but if I want to sell my house and support somebody that I believe in with all my heart, that is fundamentally wrong; that is corrupt.

I want to say to my dear colleague from Kentucky that I admire him, and I want to thank him for the great sacrifice he has made to stand up on behalf of freedom, when very few people are offering compliments, and very few pundits are applauding. I am one person who is applauding, and I will never, ever forget what you have done. It may not be in an editorial, but it will be enshrined in my heart.

This bill, as the Senator from Texas pointed out, is simply trying to pick winners and losers. It takes the parties and it crushes them. And the irony of it all is there will be way more money spent in the next election than there was in the last one. It just won't be spent by the parties.

So we have taken resources away from the parties, which will be spent otherwise because of all of these other efforts, as the Senator from Texas pointed out. And I assure him I will be in court. I will be the plaintiff, and we will win if we have to go to court. Efforts to restrict the voices of outside groups will be struck down.

I hope we will be able to save the ability of parties to engage in speech that isn't federally regulated, which is what soft money is. It is everything that isn't hard money. I thank the Senator from Texas for always being there on so many issues, and especially for the kind things he said tonight about this struggle. It isn't a lot of fun being the national pinata. But there are some rewards.

For example, one newspaper reported that after last November's Presidential election, both Democrats and Republicans were victims in a scam in which phony fundraising letters began popping up in mailboxes in Washington, Connecticut, Michigan, and elsewhere. Those letters urged $1,000 contributions to seemingly prestigious Pennsylvania Avenue addresses on behalf of lawyers purportedly for both George W. Bush and Al Gore. About the same time, thousands of similar letters offering coffee mugs for contributions of between $1,000 and $5,000 were sent to Democratic donors from New York to San Francisco.

Clearly, one can see the potential for harm to citizens who are targeted in such fraudulent schemes. Unfortunately, the Federal Election Campaign Act does not grant specific authority to the Federal Election Commission to investigate this type of activity, nor does it specifically prohibit persons from fraudulently soliciting contributions.

Mr. President, this is a very important amendment. It is going to protect our citizens from fraudulent solicitation of their funds. It will give the Federal Election Commission the tools it needs to address these fraudulent acts which take advantage of our citizens. It implements an important recommendation of the Federal Election Commission. I hope our colleagues will all support this amendment.

Mr. President, I just covered this with the manager. I want to make sure Senator Daschle is aware. A technical amendment may not be necessary. But we want to make sure, if there is a need for a technical amendment, that there be a way to deal with that but that a technical amendment would have to be identified and agreed to tomorrow along with other amendments before we complete action.

Mr. President, reserving the right to object, it is suggested that perhaps having a weekend for the staff to go through whatever screening or final review may be helpful. Obviously, I think both managers would have to agree to any technical amendments. So there is that assurance. But this would give the weekend to the staff to assure that if there is any inadvertent mistake, it be caught prior to the time we vote on final passage on Monday.

The Democratic leader said it well. Any technical amendments would have to be amendments agreed to by both managers. So that the idea of something coming up late -- I make it plural because the staff is apt to encounter more than one. Any technical amendments would have to have the concurrence of both managers.

But, again, there is no intent on anybody's part to try to snucker anybody. I think the way I worded it, where both managers have to agree to it, takes care of the problem. I can understand how the managers would prefer not being dragged around by our very capable staff for 2 or 3 hours on Monday, arguing over a technical amendment. However, I think this does give us a way to correct legitimate problems.

One of the remaining issues is -- some people would call it technical, but I think it is major, and that deals with coordination. A lot of us recognize that the underlying bill needs some improvement on coordination or else we are going to have a lot of people who are going to be crooks who want to participate in the political process. And they should have the opportunity to participate. I have been trying to get language, and I have not seen it. But that is not insignificant and not technical; that is major concern.

I want to ask the majority leader -- I am sorry; Mike Epstein, who used to work with me, is no longer here or I would have asked him this -- but on technical amendments, is the definition of that that there would not be an up-or-down vote automatically?

Mr. President, this amendment will allow the use of some non-Federal dollars by State parties for voter registration and get out the vote, where the contributions are allowed by State law, where there is no reference to Federal candidates, where limited to $10,000 of the contribution which is allowed by State law, and where the allocation between Federal and non-Federal dollars is set by the Federal Election Commission.

This bill that is before us is about limits. We have set limits on contributions by individuals, by PACs, by national parties to State parties. It is all about trying to restore some limits to a law where that law has really been completely subverted in terms of contribution limits by the so-called soft money loophole.

I think in our efforts over the last couple weeks we have really done the right thing in establishing the limits that we have. We have focused on trying to restore something which was always intended, which is contribution limits, but we have also, in our review, done some fine tuning. We have done some adjustments.

Now the bill does not restrict State parties when it comes to using non-Federal dollars for things such as salaries and rent and utilities, nor should it. But it does prohibit altogether -- unless this amendment is adopted -- the use by State parties of non-Federal dollars. These are dollars not raised through any effort on the part of Federal officeholders, Federal candidates, or national parties. These are non- Federal dollars allowed by State law.

In this regard, I believe and our cosponsors believe that the bill has gone too far, that we ought to allow State parties using non- Federal dollars, under very clear limits, where there is not an identification of a Federal candidate, where there is a limit as to how much of those contributions they can use, and where the contributions are allowed by State law -- that we ought to allow, with the proper Federal match, determined by the Federal Election Commission, State parties to use these non-Federal dollars in some of the most core activities in which State parties are involved.

That is about as core an effort as you can get. Yet unless we make this modification in the bill, we would tell State parties they can't use the non-Federal dollars in any year where there is a Federal election, which is every other year, for those core activities.

They will speak for themselves, of course. But we have worked very hard to make sure there are still some limits. We are not eliminating the limits on this spending, nor should we, because if it is unlimited, we then have a huge loophole again where State parties would become the funnel for the Federal campaign money to be poured into. So we keep reasonable restrictions, but what we do is, we pull back from the total elimination of the use of these non-Federal dollars by State parties for their fundamental basic activity.

I ask the Senator from Michigan, isn't it the case that, as currently written, a Governor and a mayor could not use non-Federal money to conduct their own activities for get out the vote, for example, in an election in which there might have been a Federal candidate, and would that not be the case?

Secondly, there are roughly 160 democracies in the world. I wonder if the Senator knows -- I didn't know until a few minutes ago -- where we rank in the democracies around the world in voter participation. Before asking whether he knows the right answer, I will say we rank 139th among the democracies in the world in voter participation. It seems to me we ought to encourage in every conceivable way activities that get out the vote, that encourage voter participation. Is it not the case, that is exactly what this amendment does?

This amendment is aimed at restoring the appropriate use by parties of non-Federal funds which are obtained by those parties in compliance with their own State laws in those very activities which the Senator has identified. These are the fundamental activities in a democracy. We want State parties to be involved in those activities, as the Senator pointed out. We don't want that to become the loophole, however, for unlimited Federal dollars. That is why this amendment is crafted the way it is.

Finally, if the Senator from Michigan will yield one additional time, let me say the proposal of the Senator from Michigan is a modest one. We could have done more, perhaps should have done more. This represents a compromise, a modest compromise, however. It does the right thing. We don't want to pass campaign finance reform and then produce impediments to those very activities that would encourage voter participation. That would be a step in the wrong direction.

Let me say to Senator Levin and Senator Ensign and others, I want to be considered a cosponsor as well, Mr. President. I appreciate the efforts of Senator Levin and Senator Ensign to work this out. This is an important provision that is going to make a difference. It is done in a very thoughtful way, a very responsible way. I think it adds again to the value of this piece of legislation. I thank our colleagues for their efforts.

Before I yield the floor, I want to add as a cosponsor Senator Harry Reid and to thank him for the efforts behind the scenes, as is so often true with Senator Reid, making things happen in the Senate which otherwise simply would not happen, but doing it in a very self-effacing way, a very critically important way. I thank him as we ask unanimous consent that he be added as a cosponsor, and Senator Corzine as well.

Mr. President, I first thank the Senator from Michigan for the work we have done together. He started this work and I joined him in it some time ago. We had a few differences on the amendment, but we were able to work those out. I thank the managers of the bill for also working with us to make sure we would be able to include this amendment in the bill. It is a very important amendment.

We look at our turnout of voters today, and we see a continual decline each and every year. The people who have brought the underlying bill to the floor are doing it partially because of that decreasing turnout. People out there in America are increasingly turned off from elections because of negative ads. A lot of those negative ads have been funded by some of the independent expenditures as well as some of the soft money that has been run through the parties.

When I was running against Senator Harry Reid back in 1998, the labor unions put about 300 people on the ground to get out the vote for Senator Reid. It was perfectly within their right to do that. This bill would have limited, though, State parties from doing similar activities. We want to encourage more people to go to the polls, not discourage people from going to the polls. Let's face it, if more people are not interested in our government, if they are not participating in this form of government we call a Republic, then our Republic will be doomed. We have to encourage people to go to the polls, and part of that is through the State parties.

This amendment is going to allow State parties to be funded to the point where they will have the resources to be able to get people to the polls on election day because they will be allowed to spend money for voter ID, for voter registration, and then for what is called get- out-the-vote efforts, things that are very important for increasing the number of people who get to the polls.

I wish to reiterate the point that, while we are working so hard to reform our campaign finance system, we cannot undermine our ability to reform the way elections are conducted. For all of the reasons Senator Levin and Senator Ensign and others have pointed out, registering voters, getting voters out to the polls is a critical role of parties. From my perspective, we need to be doing even more to try to promote what parties used to do, which was that kind of grassroots outreach activity.

In reforming the way campaigns are financed, we must not hurt out ability to reform the way elections are conducted. This amendment would ensure that State, district or local committees of a political party would be able to continue to provide vital services to our citizenry during Federal elections, from voter registration activities to assisting individuals in getting out to vote on Election Day.

The 2000 election taught us many things. One of the most important was the significance of having an informed electorate. Too many citizens in the last election were provided with too little information about where and how to vote. Too many citizens experienced unwarranted obstacles to registration and voting. As a result, fewer votes were counted, and in the next election fewer people may turn out to vote.

The solution to these problems cannot be in the province of Government alone. America's political parties must play an important role in helping people register to vote, helping them learn more about the voting process and helping them turn out at the polls on election day. It is vital to the health of our democratic process. Leading up to an election, both parties provide voters with information on how and where to register to vote. On Election Day, both parties use their resources to drive elderly voters to the polls, provide answers to questions about where and how to vote, and give voters information about where the candidates stand on issues.

Hillary Clinton
In the State of New York over the past 2 years, the State Democratic Party has conducted an intensive voter education drive in predominantly African-American and Latino communities, often our most disenfranchised citizens. This education drive resulted in a surge in voter registration and voter activity in both of these communities throughout the state. Republican parties around the country are also active in voter registration and get out the vote efforts. This type of activity should continue to be supported by our State parties for all elections so that all of our citizens fully participate in our democracy.

Some will claim that this amendment will bring soft money back into federal campaigns. Let me be very clear, this amendment does not bring soft money back into campaigns. Rather, it allows State and local parties to use money that is regulated by States and is capped at $10,000 for single contributions in order to support vital election services. That represents an improvement over the status quo, because under current law there is no national cap on such contributions at the local and State level.

I ask my colleagues to rise in support of an amendment that will ensure that our political parties can continue to use State regulated funds to provide voter education, registration and get out the vote services that we know work. Because helping voters register to vote, helping them to learn how and where to vote, and helping them get out to vote are American values we should encourage, not inhibit.

It is imperative this amendment pass so we are able to make a very clear distinction between the kind of roles and activities that should be conducted by parties and that we look forward to a time when we are going to be able to take up electoral reform with the same intensity that we have taken up campaign finance reform, which will give us a chance to go into more detail as to what our parties could and should be doing in order to promote democracy.

It is an amendment relating to disclaimers on television and radio ads, as well as in print media. It requires of those electioneering communications -- the so-called Snowe-Jeffords ads -- that they abide by the same requirements for disclaimer and disclosure as ads for candidates themselves and ads authorized by candidates, and independent express advocacy ads. It requires, when it comes to these ads, that they also show on the screen, for example, not only the name of the organization that is sponsoring the ad, paying for the ad, but also either an address, phone number, or Internet Web site.

I can give a very inspired speech as to why this is necessary. But I think the concept is very basic. It is that we do not want to restrict freedom of expression, nor in fact do we restrict freedom of deception. If somebody wants to put an ad on that is categorically wrong, whether it is a candidate, a party, or any other group, I guess there is an American right to that. But we do, I hope, insist on accountability. At least identify who you are. If you are going to be part of our political process, tell us who you are. That is exactly all this does in terms of disclaimer. Whether it is a candidate, whether an ad authorized by a candidate, or so-called electioneering communication, that is what will happen. It applies to printed communications as well.

For those keeping track, this was part of McCain-Feingold in both the 105th and 106th Congress -- a large portion of it was. It is something that many of us believe, and it was adopted by the House, would complement the work we have done thus far in the debate.

Mr. President, I commend our colleague from Illinois. This is a very worthwhile amendment. We can all relate to this. We have seen these ads come on and you have to freeze frame it and get a magnifying glass to even read the source, where they are coming from. Usually, it is a name that has no identification other than something that sounds very good and hardly revealing as to who is responsible for it, let alone any address or telephone number that would allow the kind of disclosure that ought to be associated with this kind of advertising.

Four years ago, the Governmental Affairs Committee held hearings on illegal and improper activity in the 1996 presidential campaign. As a result of that investigation, we learned about a wide-ranging effort to circumvent the federal election laws by funneling campaign contributions, sometimes from foreign sources, through American citizens to benefit presidential campaigns.

While I have voiced my concerns about the quality of the Department of Justice's investigation and prosecution of these violators, today I am addressing structural flaws in the statute that make it difficult for the more conscientious prosecutors to adequately pursue their cases. Specifically: FECA fails to provide for felony prosecutions regardless of the severity of the offense. Its three year statute of limitations is too short -- for instance, only the administration that wins the election can enforce the law prior to the running of the statute of limitations. Finally, there is no sentencing guideline for FECA violations. Because of these deficiencies in the statute, our amendment would make the following changes.

First, in the 1996 presidential campaign, the Special Investigation of the Governmental Affairs Committee identified at least $2,825,600 in illegal contributions to the DNC. Yet, regardless of the extent to which the laws were broken, all the violations under FECA were still misdemeanors. Our amendment would remedy this problem for the future by authorizing felony prosecutions of FECA violations, but only if (1) the offender committed the existing federal offense "knowingly and willfully" and (2) the offense involved more than $25,000.

Third, the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, which govern federal judges' sentencing decisions, do not currently have a guideline specifically directed at campaign finance violations. As a result, judges must use guidelines for other offenses, preventing them from considering factors which should enhance the punishment for FECA violations such as the size of a contribution or its origin. Our amendment would require the Sentencing Commission to promulgate a guideline specifically for violations of FECA and provide for enhancement of sentences if the violation involves (i) a contribution, donation or expenditure from a foreign source; (ii) a large number of illegal transactions; (iii) a large aggregate amount of illegal contributions, donations or expenditures; (iv) the receipt or disbursement of government funds; or (v) an intent to achieve a benefit from the government.

Mr. President, I am pleased to join my colleague from Tennessee in offering this amendment, and I am delighted to be joined by Senators Leahy, Collins and Jeffords as cosponsors. Senators Thompson, Collins and I spent the better part of a year working on the Governmental Affairs Committee's investigation into fundraising improprieties in the 1996 federal election campaigns. That investigation sparked a lot of discussion about whether many things that happened in 1996 were illegal or just wrong -- things like big soft money donations, attack ads run by tax-exempt organizations, fundraising in federal buildings and the like.

But one thing I never heard argument about is whether it was illegal to knowingly infuse foreign money into a political campaign or to use unwitting straw donors to hide the true source of money that was going to candidates or parties. I, for one, had no doubt that the people who did those things in 1996 would be prosecuted and appropriately punished.

Unfortunately, Mr. President, many of them were prosecuted, but I have grave doubts about whether they were appropriately punished. I know that there are many who blame the Justice Department for this, but when I first looked into it a couple of years ago, I was frankly surprised by what I learned -- and that is that prosecutors just don't have the tools they need to effectively investigate, prosecute and punish people who egregiously violate our campaign finance laws. I think Charles LaBella, the former head of the Justice Department's Campaign Finance Task Force, put it best in a memo he wrote assessing the Department's campaign finance investigation. According to press reports, LaBella wrote that "The fact is that the so-called enforcement system is nothing more than a bad joke." Unfortunately, it's a bad joke that has real consequences for the integrity of our campaigns and our democracy.

Let me give you one example. Many people are understandably upset that Charlie Trie and John Huang didn't go to jail for what they did in '96. But the Federal Election Campaign Act, or FECA, doesn't authorize felony prosecutions. No matter how egregiously someone violates FECA, all they can be charged with is a misdemeanor. And people rarely go to jail for misdemeanors.

To get around FECA's limits, prosecutors often charge campaign finance abusers with other federal crimes that are felonies, which is what they did with Trie and Huang. But that still often doesn't solve the problem. That's because when it comes time for sentencing, judges have to turn to the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, which still often bring light sentences because there is no guideline on campaign finance violations.

The guidelines assign what's called a "base offense level" for each crime, and then they give a number of factors that, if present, tell the judge either to increase or decrease the offense level. The higher the offense level, the higher the sentence.

Because the Guidelines don't have a provision on campaign finance violations, judges have to look for the next closest offense, and they often end up using the fraud guideline. But that guideline doesn't take into account the factors that make campaign finance violations so harmful, and the factors that are there often aren't particularly relevant to campaign finance violations. For example, there is nothing in the guideline that makes judges distinguish between a campaign finance violation involving $2,000 and one involving $2,000,000. So, when judges calculate the offense level of a defendant who funneled millions of foreign dollars into a US campaign, they don't end up with a high offense level, meaning that the defendant doesn't get a lengthy sentence. The prosecutors know this and the defendants know this, and that must be one of the reasons why prosecutors accepted plea bargains from John Huang and Charlie Trie -- because they knew they wouldn't do much better even if they won convictions at trial.

Our amendment would solve these problems, by putting a felony provision into FECA and by directing the Sentencing Commission to promulgate a campaign finance guideline. If those two things happen, we will have greater confidence that those who violate the law will be appropriately punished.

I understand that some may worry that we are criminalizing participating in the political process. That is neither the intent nor the effect of this amendment. Our amendment would allow felony prosecutions only if, first, the defendant knowingly and willfully violated the law, and second, if the offense involved at least $25,000. So, it would not punish the donor who inadvertently goes over his contribution limits, nor would it go after the Party Committee clerk who makes a record-keeping mistake. Instead, our amendment aims at the opportunistic hustlers who come up with broad conspiracies to violate the election laws usually for personal gain by funneling foreign money into our campaigns or using large numbers of straw donors to hide their identity or make contributions they aren't allowed to make the people everyone says should be going to jail.

Our amendment contains one other provision -- one extending FECA's statute of limitations from three to five years. As of now, FECA has the only statute of limitations outside the Internal Revenue Code of less than five years. We need to change that so that prosecutors are denied the time they need to pursue complex crimes.

Mr. President, this amendment is about something that we all should be able to agree upon, which is that actions that are already criminal and that we all agree are wrong should be punished. None of our amendment's provisions should be controversial, and I hope that we can see them enacted into law, so that we can go into the next election cycle with confidence that prosecutors have the tools necessary to deter and to punish those who would violate our election laws. I thank my colleagues, and I yield the floor.

Mr. President, I understand this amendment has been cleared by both sides. The amendment enhances the criminal enforcement provisions of the FECA legislation by authorizing felony prosecutions of willful and knowing violations of that law over $25,000, directs the Sentencing Commission to promulgate guidelines on campaign finance violations, and extends the FECA statute of limitations for criminal violations from 3 to 5 years.

My amendment would specifically strengthen the Federal Election Commission, which is the organization that is charged with enforcing all the laws we have been discussing for the last 2 weeks. Observers have called the FEC "beleaguered," a "toothless watchdog," a "dithering nanny," and a "lapdog," indicating that the state of the FEC is rather moribund because they don't have the resources necessary or some of the tools necessary to do the job of effectively enforcing our campaign finance laws.

My amendment is based upon recommendations made by the FEC Commissioners over many years with respect to improving the performance of the FEC. As we all know, the FEC is composed of six Commissioners -- three Republicans and three Democrats. These recommendations represent a bipartisan response to the observed inadequacies of the Federal Election Commission. First and foremost, my amendment would reauthorize the Federal Election Commission, which hasn't been technically reauthorized since 1980. It would also increase the authorized appropriations for this Commission. Over the past 2 weeks, we have talked about doubling and tripling money going to candidates. Again, if we are serious about campaign finance reform, we should also talk about increasing the budget of the FEC. Senator Thompson mentioned yesterday that the average amount spent by a winning Senate campaign went from approximately $1.2 million in 1980, to $7.2 million in the year 2000.

According to the FEC, total campaign spending has increased 1,000 percent since 1976. Total campaign finance disbursement activity was $300 million in 1976 and exploded to $3.5 billion in the year 2000 election cycle. But the agency responsible for administering these campaign finance laws, the Federal Election Commission, has seen very little increase in their operating budget over these many years. We have had an explosion of activity, we have had an explosion of contributions, but nothing to keep the FEC in league or in sync with this explosion of campaign spending.

Despite all the increased activity, the FEC staff is virtually the same as it was almost 20 years ago. In 1980, the FEC had 270 full-time equivalent staff. In 1998, the level was about 303, a very small increase, and at the same time there has been an explosion of donations, an explosion of reports, and increased in activity.

It is obvious with all of these activities, with all of these transactions that were reported that the FEC needs to do more and needs more resources to do the job it has been commissioned to do. The FEC is expected to review these financial reports. They are expected to enforce the laws, and unless we give them the resources to do that, we are going to be in a very sorry state and, indeed, we are in a very sorry state today. Because of the onslaught of cases before the FEC, it has to prioritize its enforcement work.

It turns out they give certain cases priority status. That means when there is an available attorney, they will put that attorney on the case, but there are so many cases that they eventually become stale. In fact, the FEC had to dismiss about half of its enforcement caseload in fiscal year 1998 and in fiscal year 1999 due to lack of resources. Due to the limited resources they have, they simply cannot keep up with the work. Once again, if we are serious about reform, we should be serious about giving the FEC the resources to do it.

It is based upon the same premise we use with the Internal Revenue Service. The idea that somebody would show up and look at your records encourages you to keep good records and to follow the law. That same principle would be effective with respect to the Federal Election Commission.

First, there would have to be a substantial likelihood that a violation of campaign finance laws is occurring or is about to occur. There has to be a showing that the failure to act expeditiously will result in irreparable harm to a party affected by the potential violation, and that expeditious action would not cause undue harm to a party affected by the potential violation, and finally, the public interest would be best served by such an injunction.

I point out that in order to seek such an injunction, the Commission would have to have a majority vote, 4 out of 6, and since there are three Republicans and three Democrats, this process of injunction would necessarily have to include votes from both Republicans and Democrats. I think it is a way to ensure fairness and not abuse this injunctive power.

In addition to providing these aspects, the amendment would do something else. It would also increase the penalties for willful violations and knowing violations of the Federal Election Campaign Act. The violations would be increased from $10,000 to $15,000 or an amount equal to 300 percent of the violation amount, the greater of those two sums.

The amendment also includes a provision that would restrict the misuse of a candidate's name. It would require that a candidate's committee include the name of the candidate, but it also would prohibit the use of that candidate's name by an unauthorized committee or any other committee except the party committee.

It would also allow an expedited referral to the Attorney General in the case of a perceived criminal violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act. Once again, such a referral would require a majority vote of the Commissioners, so it would be inherently bipartisan and could not be abused by a partisan faction of the Federal Election Commission.

We have for the last several weeks been working diligently, creatively to fashion stronger Federal election campaign laws. But without my amendment, all of our work might be for nought because unless we strengthen the Federal Election Commission, we will not have the enforcement capability to take this legislative design which we have worked over so many days, and make it effective to regulate the campaigns for Federal office in the United States.

It is unclear who authorizes the audits, the six appointed members of the Commission or the general counsel appointed by those members? The period commencing these random audits is extended from 6 months to 12 months. Campaigns will have to wait 1 year before they even know if an audit will begin and if they need to raise additional funds to cover the cost.

There is no time limit for commencing audits of PACs or party committees. The 1979 amendment allowed the Commission to continue audits for cause where the FEC reviews the reports to determine if they meet the threshold for substantial compliance.

There are very good concepts here. The random audit races issues can be very expensive. If there is no cause for doing it randomly, there is a legitimate concern this can be abused by those who would like to become a policing action, without any rationale for doing it, other than for the sake of doing it.

I would like to sleep on this and take a look at it and see if we can maybe get some agreement to accept it tomorrow, maybe make some modification; rather than dealing with it this evening, see if the staff can work on it, the majority and the minority, to see if we can come up with a proposal to be accepted before we can bring it up for consideration between 9 o'clock and 11 o'clock in the morning. If the Senator would agree, that would help.

I reassure the Senator of concerns expressed. First, the random audit would have to be approved by the majority of commissioners. This is not something that would be inherently abusive, since it requires four commissioners, at least one of whom has to be from the opposing party.

I do believe this is a good way to reach compliance, and it is something that has been suggested by those people who look closely at the Federal Election Commission.

With respect to the lengthening of the time period for audit, the length is increased from 6 months to 12 months for those audits for cause. I think that is a reasonable amendment to the current practice. I hope it is accepted.

I have an amendment I may offer tomorrow, but we will have the staff look at it and get their thoughts on it. We have done a lot of work. There are outstanding amendments, including the amendment of Senator Reed of Rhode Island, an amendment of Senator Hatch and Senator Specter, and one I want to offer tomorrow morning, if necessary, with half an hour equally divided. That will be between 9 o'clock and 11 o'clock and we should be able to wrap this up.

Mr. President, I would like to read into the Record excerpts from the cogent analysis of S. 27 that was prepared by James Bopp, Jr., General Counsel of the James Madison Center for Free Speech, entitled "Analysis of S. 27, `McCain-Feingold 2001.' " In this analysis, Mr. Bopp thoroughly demonstrates why this bill violates the free speech and associational rights of individuals, political parties, labor unions, corporations, and "issue advocacy" groups.

Mr. President, Mr. Bopp then notes another major impediment to individuals and citizens' groups exercising their First Amendment rights, and that is how the bill's coordination provisions interplay with contribution limits. He notes that "[f]or any individual, and for any organization that can actually do a `coordinate activity,' which seems to be only a federal PAC, the `coordinated activity' would be limited by contribution limits. So a substantial amount of traditional `independent expenditures' by PACs are now swept under the control of McCain-Feingold 2001 and limited because a multi-candidate PAC can only make a contribution of $5,000 per election to a candidate." Of course, Mr. President, this is only part of the story. As Mr. Bopp explains, S. 27 also violates the free speech and associational rights of our political parties in its effort to regulate non-federal money. Specifically, he states that "[i]n its effort to regulate `soft money,' McCain-Feingold 2001 has two dramatic adverse effects on political party activity: (1) it imposes federal election law limits on the state and local activities of national political parties, and (2) it dramatically limits the issue advocacy, legislative, and organizational activities of political parties. But first it is important to recall the U.S. Supreme Court's comment that `[w]e are not aware of any special dangers of corruption associated with political parties. . . .' Political parties are merely the People associating with others who share their values to advance issues, legislation, and candidates that further those values. When they do these things, they are just doing their historic job as good citizens. The notion that they are somehow corrupt for doing so is both strange and constitutionally infirm." Mr. President, Mr. Bopp next notes that this bill federalizes state and local parties and totally federalizes national parties, which engage in a multitude of activities besides federal elections. He observes that "[a]lthough national parties care about local, state, and federal elections, they are treated by McCain-Feingold 2001 as if they only care about federal elections. As to state and local political parties, if there is a federal candidate on the ballot, they too are treated as if only the federal candidate matters. In short, McCain- Feingold 2001 federalizes the state and local election activities of national, state, and local political parties." Mr. Bopp then explains how this federalization occurs: "As to national political parties, this happens as a result of the total ban on national political parties receiving `soft money.' This happens to state and local political parties as a result of the definition of `federal election activity,' which governs political party expenditures if any federal candidate is on the general election ballot, and which includes `voter registration' during the 120 days before an election, `voter identification, get-out-the-vote activity, or [any activity promoting a political party].' Therefore, if state and local political parties do `federal election activity,' they must use `hard money,' i.e., money subject to FECA restrictions, for such activity if a federal candidate is on the ballot. These activities are traditional activities that state and local parties have always done and the national political parties have supported. The fact that there is a federal candidate on the ballot, along with the state and local candidates for whom state and local parties have the greater concern, does not justify federalizing and limiting these activities." Mr. Bopp concludes his analysis of S. 27 by explaining the constitutional problem with the bill's prohibition on the parties' use of non-federal dollars to engage in issue discussion. He first notes that under the bill " `federal election activity' includes `a public communication that refers to a clearly identified [federal] candidate . . . and that promotes or supports a candidate or opposes a candidate . . . (regardless of whether the communication expressly advocates a vote for or against a candidate) . . .' Presently, political parties, like any other entity, may receive and spend an unlimited amount of money on issue advocacy. McCain-Feingold 2001 would virtually eliminate this basic constitutional freedom for national political parties, by prohibiting the receipt of all `soft money,' and severely limit it for state and local political parties, by requiring only hard money to be used if a federal candidate is involved. Because McCain-Feingold 2001 prohibits the raising of `soft money' by national political parties, they have no such money available for issue advocacy, legislative, and organizational activities. It treats political parties as if they were just federal-candidate election machines. As a result, McCain-Feingold 2001 has effectively amputated these other important, historical activities of political parties." Mr. President, the constitutional problems with such restrictions on parties are explained in detail by Mr. Bopp as follows:

The concern raised by the FEC in MCFL was that Sec. 441b served to prevent corruption by `prevent[ing] an organization from using an individual's money for purposes that the individual may not support.' The Court found that `[t]his rationale for regulation is not compelling with respect' to MCFL-type organizations because `[i]ndividuals who contribute to [an MCFL-type organization] are fully aware of its political purposes, and in fact contribute precisely because they support those purposes.' `[I]ndividuals contribute to a political organization in part because they regard such a contribution as a more effective means of advocacy than spending the money under their own personal direction.' `Finally, a contributor dissatisfied with how funds are used can simply stop contributing.' Thus, the Court held that the prohibitions on corporate contributions and expenditures in Sec. 441b could not be constitutionally applied to non-profit ideological corporations which do not serve as a conduit for business corporation contributions.

On the first point, it should be clear to all that the McCain- Feingold legislation was carefully crafted to ensure meaningful campaign finance reform while recognizing the rights of all Americans to continue their participation in our electoral process. This is a delicate balance and I would regret to see this bill lose the support of such important participants in the political process as our nation's broadcasters.

I believe that political candidates should not be gouged in their purchase of air time but I remain unconvinced that such is the normal and usual practice today.

Mr. President, in 1997, the Governmental Affairs Committee spent a year in investigating some of the worst campaign finance abuses in our Nation's history. Despite a number of obstacles, witnesses fleeing the country, people pleading the fifth amendment, entities failing to comply with subpoenas, our Committee uncovered numerous activities that were not only improper but illegal. To date, 26 individuals and two corporations have been prosecuted or indicted for campaign finance violations arising from the 1996 Federal elections.

Specifically, what we uncovered was a pattern of abuse in which access to people in power was bought with large campaign contributions. What made that possible was unregulated, unlimited soft money. Time after time we heard about contributions of tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars in exchange for which access was granted. In fact, one of the key reasons I have fought for the McCain-Feingold bill is to eliminate this opportunity for abuse.

There is no question in my mind that the enormous soft money contributions we examined led to corruption and the appearance of corruption to the American public. The committee's findings are contained in a six volume, 10,000 page report, S. Rpt. No. 105-167, the committee's depositions, S. Prt. No. 106-30, and the committee's hearings, S. Hrg. No. 105-300). The facts and findings contained in these documents clearly provide the basis for a determination that unlimited soft money contributions lead to corruption and the appearance thereof.

Mr. President, the Senator from Tennessee appropriately puts in context the work we are doing on the bill before us. The record in the Senate is replete with the compelling need for this legislation. In particular, we learned during the 1997 hearings that some of the most egregious conduct we uncovered, wasn't what was illegal, but what was legal. That was the real problem.

The 1997 Senate investigation collected ample evidence of campaign abuses, the most significant of which revolved around the soft money loophole. Soft money contributions of hundreds of thousands, even millions, of dollars, were shown to have undermined the contribution limits in Federal law and created the appearance of corruption in the public's eye. The Republican and Democratic national political parties that solicit and spend this money use explicit offers of access to the most powerful, elected officials.

Roger Tamraz, a large contributor to both parties and an unrepentant witness at our hearings, became the bipartisan symbol for what is wrong with the current system. Roger Tamraz served as a Republican Eagle in the 1980s during Republican administrations and a Democratic Trustee in the 1990s during Democratic administrations. Tamraz's political contributions were not guided by his views on public policy or his personal support for or against the person in office; Tamraz gave to help himself. He was unabashed in admitting his political contributions were made for the purpose of getting access to people in power. Tamraz showed us in stark terms to all-too-common product of the current campaign finance system, using unlimited soft money contributions to buy access. And despite the condemnation by the committee and the press of Tamraz's activities, when asked at the hearing to reflect on his $300,000 contribution to the Democrats in 1996, Tamraz said, "I think next time, I'll give $600,000." As I said, most of the appearances of impropriety revealed during the 1997 investigations involved legal activities. Virtually every foreign contribution of concern to the Committee involved soft money. Virtually every offer of access to the White House or to the Capitol or to the President or to the Speaker of the House involved contributions of soft money. Virtually every instance of questionable conduct in the Committee's investigation involved the solicitation or use of soft money.

The McCain-Feingold bill recognizes that the bulk of troubling campaign activity is not what is illegal, but what is legal. It takes direct aim at closing the loopholes that have swallowed the election laws. In particular, it takes aim at closing the soft money and issue advocacy loopholes, while strengthening other aspects of the Federal election laws that are too weak to do the job as they now stand.

The soft money loophole exists because we in Congress allow it. The issue advocacy loophole exists because we in Congress allow it. Congress alone writes the laws. Congress alone can shut down the loopholes and reinvigorate the Federal election laws.

First let me start by reiterating my strong and unwavering commitment to meaningful campaign finance reform. Since I arrived in the Senate, I, along with many of my colleagues, have championed an overhaul of our campaign finance system. Our system demands more disclosure and accountability, we should reduce the amount of money in the system, we should ensure that the voice of every American can be heard, and we must require fairness.

I believe the McCain/Feingold bill is a carefully crafted, balanced bill. There have been a number of amendments to this bill, some of which I have supported; some I've opposed. Campaign finance reform, in addition to reforming the excesses of the current system, must be fair and not favor any one party or group over another. If the court, at some later date, finds that some part or parts of our reform effort do not pass constitutional muster, that ruling should not be allowed to tip the scales to the benefit or detriment of one class of actors with regard to their ability to engage in political debate. As strongly as I believe in reforming our campaign finance laws, I also believe we should do a better job of supporting our public schools, providing more and better access to quality healthcare, protecting our environment, and creating family wage jobs. If my, or the people who share my positions, ability to communicate those positions is altered to a greater or lesser extent than those with other opinions, then what we have left will be fundamentally unfair. The balance of this bill could change depending on the court's interpretation. The severability issue goes directly to this point.

Which leads me to why I believe this year's effort is different from previous efforts in one very significant and fundamental way. Today, we know more about the Supreme Court than we did just a few months ago. We know that the court is not beyond interpretations that would appear to favor one party over another. And that has given me pause, and, I would think, it may give my colleagues pause, when we consider the application of this law, how it will be tested in court, and what we may end up with as a result.

If the Supreme Court decided to uphold limits on the amount of soft money flowing to our parties, while allowing special interest groups to spend unlimited sums to attack or defend candidates, then we will turn the electoral process over to those same special interests who we seek to limit.

I am not willing to participate in enacting a precedent for severability that could impact a wide range of bills to come before the Senate. Rather than adding a non-severability clause to this bill the Congress should act quickly to meet the challenges that may be presented by any future court action, and fashion a set of campaign finance laws that will serve to strike a balance and ensure fairness.

Mr. President, reformers frequently assert that there is a great desire throughout the land for their campaign finance scheme. The truth is there is not, nor has there ever been, a groundswell of public demand for even the concept of "reform," let alone an unconstitutional assault by the Federal Government on the constitutional freedom of citizens, groups and parties to participate in America's democracy.

I think about my campaigns and if they limit all contributions to just $100 per person and nobody else could contribute, nobody else could run a negative ad or positive ad about me, I would feel comfortable about that. I believe I can raise more $100's than any likely opponent I am facing. I could get my message out and it will be a good competitive race and that will be fine.

I think this legislation transcends all the complexities and all the debate we have had tonight and over the last 2 weeks about soft money, hard money, issue ads, independent groups, independent expenditures, and all of that.

America has always been a country of raucous debate, uncontrolled, exaggeration, negativity, at times emotional. That is the way we are. Sometimes I wish it were not so. Others complained on the floor of the Senate about negative ads against them. I had those run against me also. In my election, I raised a lot more hard money than my opponent, but he had equal time on television and it was mostly soft money. They came in from the Democratic Party or the Sierra Club and they ran ads against me. I know it wasn't a little environmentalist raising this money. It was money given to them so they could use it in certain campaigns in favor of Democratic candidates. That is the way life is. It is frustrating at times to see ads such as that pound on you.

Soft money didn't help me in this past campaign. I say that to say I resent and reject the assertion that those of us who are concerned about the serious public policy and constitutional questions involved are somehow advocating that because we have a self-interest in it, some personal agenda that will help them beat their opponent and get reelected. There may be a tendency for some, but it is not for me.

The problem is whether or not we are furthering or constraining political debate in America. Some believe, for example, that depictions of violent sex acts of all kinds, depictions of child pornography, are protected by the first amendment. Some believe that the act of burning a flag of the United States is free speech. Some of these same people, however, see things differently on this bill.

On the question of pornography and child pornography, and those questions, people can go either way. The Supreme Court has sort of split in a lot of different ways. These forms of speech and press are quasi-speech. Depictions or acts of burning a flag were never what our Founding Fathers were fundamentally concerned about. They were concerned in early America about political speech, the right to speak out on public policy issues and say what you wanted to say.

James Madison, the father of our Constitution, whose birth we celebrated earlier in the month, the 250th anniversary of his birth, in talking about our goal in America as to free elections and people you chose could be elected, said: The value and efficacy of this right to elect and vote for people for office depends on the knowledge of comparative merits and demerits of the candidates for public trust, and on the equal freedom, consequently, of examining and discussing these merits and demerits of the candidate's respectively.

That suggests this is what America was founded about, to have a full debate about candidates and their position on issues. When do you do that? You do that during the election time. Not 2 years before an election.

I believe the contributing of money to promote and broadcast or amplify speech is covered by the first amendment. I do not think that is a matter of serious debate. Some have suggested otherwise. They said money is just an inanimate object. But if you want to be able to speak out and you cannot get on television, or you cannot get on radio, or you cannot afford to publish newspapers or pamphlets, then you are constrained in your ability to speak out.

What is that Court saying? That Court is saying the right to decide who says what in a political environment is the right of the people and associations of people. They have that right. The Government does not have the right to restrain them and restrict that and to limit their debate, even if it is aimed at us in the form of a negative ad and it hurts our feelings and we wish it had not happened. We do not have the right to tell people they cannot produce honest ads, hard-hitting ads against us. If we ever get to that point, I submit, our country will be less free, you will have less ability to deal with incumbent politicians who may not be the kind that are best for America.

I remain at this point almost stunned that earlier in this debate 40 Members of this Senate voted to amend the first amendment of the Constitution of the United States. Fortunately, 60 voted no. We had 38 vote yea in 1997 or 1998, and last year it dropped down to 33. But this year 40 voted for this amendment. It would have empowered Congress and State legislators, government, to put limits on contributions and expenditures by candidates and groups in support of and in opposition to candidates for office. Just as they outlined in Buckley.

I have to give the ACLU credit, they have been consistent on this issue. They have studied it. They know this is bad, and they have said so. But too many of our other groups -- I don't know whether they are worried about the politics of it or what, but they have not grasped the danger to free speech and full debate we are having here.

It seems to me we are almost losing perspective and respect for the first amendment that protects us all. In this debate we have focused on what the courts have held with regard to the first amendment and to campaign finance. I remain confident that significant portions of the legislation as it is now pending before us will be struck down by Federal courts.

We ought not to vote for something that is unconstitutional. We swore to uphold the Constitution. If we believe a bill is unconstitutional, we should not be passing it on the expectation that someday a court may strike it down, even if we like the goal. If it violates the Constitution, each of us has a duty, I believe, to vote no. The idea that we can pass a law that would say that within 60 days of an election a group of union people, a group of businesspeople, a group of citizens, cannot get together and run an ad to say that Jeff Sessions is a no- good skunk and ought not be elected to office, offends me. Why doesn't that go to the heart of freedom in America? Where is our free speech crowd? Where are our law professors and so forth on this issue? It is very troubling to me, and I believe it goes against our fundamental American principles.

I will conclude. I make my brief remarks for the record tonight to say I believe this law is, on balance, not good. I believe its stated goal of dealing with corruption in campaigns is not going to be achieved. I believe it is the case with every politician I know, that votes trump money every time anyway. If you have a group of people in your State you know and respect, you try to help them. Just because they may give you a contribution doesn't mean that is going to be the thing that helps you the most. Most public servants whom I know try to serve the people of the State and try to keep the people happy and do the right things that are best for the future.

I believe this bill is not good, that the elimination of the corrupt aspects we are trying to deal with will not ultimately be achieved. At the same time, I believe we will have taken a historic step backwards, perhaps the most significant retrenchment of free speech and the right to assemble, and free press, that has occurred in my lifetime that I can recall. This is a major bit of legislation that undermines our free speech.

I know we have talked about all the details and all the little things. There are some things in this bill I like. I wish we could make them law. But as a whole, we ought not pass a piece of legislation that would restrict a group of people in America from coming together to raise money and speak out during an election cycle, 60 days, 90 days, 10 days, 5 days, on election day -- they ought not be restricted in that effort. In doing so, we would have betrayed and undermined our commitment to free speech and free debate that has made this country so great.
