“I would point out that in conversation with Trevor Potter, he pointed out that he totally disagrees with what was said by the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Tom Davis), and the reference to his Website was, in fact, not even his Website. And that this $40 million fund that is being described, Democrats have $3.2 million in their building fund and Republicans have $1.8 million in their building fund. So if the Democrats have $40 million, they would have to raise from this point on the difference, basically $36.8 million, and then not spend it against candidates who are running for office. Again, I just repeat, if the Democrats want to raise $36.8 million and spend it on a building fund instead of campaigns, I think Republicans should probably encourage them to do that. I would like to also point out that our bill is, in fact, a compromise. It is a compromise.”
