"I believe these petitions offer us the most realistic hope for real reform this year."

"You are hereby authorized and directed to report this determination to the Congress immediately and to publish it in the Federal Register."

"I think this is an important part of our national obligation to one another, to deal with these things in the proper way."

"I ask the members of the Federal Election Commission to take the step supported by a majority of Members of the Senate and ban soft money."
