On the recordJuly 30, 1998
I applaud the fact that the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Stearns) is now interested in soft money and very interested in making sure that some people in the system do not abuse soft money. Those of us that are part of the reform group want to make sure that no one in the system abuses soft money, and I would invite the gentleman from Florida to join us in supporting a ban on all soft money, and then we would not have worry about whose words have to be read into the Record. Then we would know that no one is going to engage in the kind of behavior that we all find offensive.
