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.

Joe Biden

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.

Joe Biden

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 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.

Harry Reid

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.

Trent Lott

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.

Bill Frist

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.

Bill Frist

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.

Second, taking my misgivings about the distribution of the Court to their logical conclusion, Congress would have to raise this matter on every legislative issue we face. That would invite confrontation and chaos that would not serve our Nation.

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.

John Breaux

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.

John Breaux

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?

John Breaux

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.
