On the recordJune 9, 2000
Yesterday the Senate said that stealth political committees have to disclose their donors and expenditures. These tax exempt 527s and other like groups could be the Communist Chinese, Colombian drug lords, the Mafia. Who knows? Both Republicans and Democrats say they want full disclosure. Last year, the majority whip said in support of the Doolittle full disclosure bill, quote: What reform can restore accountability more than an open book? Letters from the gentleman from California (Mr. Doolittle) shout, ``Full Disclosure,'' ``Scrap the Failed Rules'' and ``Full Disclosure.'' Another Dear Colleague screams, ``Hypocrisy.'' What will the headlines scream tomorrow? Mr. Speaker, 115 Republicans voted last year for full disclosure only. If my colleagues are really for full disclosure, vote yes. A ``no'' vote is going to be mighty hard to explain in November. We can get this done today. Vote yes.
