On the recordMay 1, 1997
I wish this bill were before us that would solve the problems of campaign finance, but the fact of the matter is it does nothing, it absolutely does nothing to change what we do need, which is a major overhaul in campaign financing. What it will do is provide committees the monetary assistance they need to carry on the business of their committees. I am hopeful that as we move into the Congress, we will again address the families first agenda. That will include good housing, adequate education, clean environment, water, air, all those kinds of things, good-paying jobs. I am anxious that this 105th Congress get into those. Today we will be debating H.R. 2, which is the new housing comprehensive legislation. It has a lot of problems.
