On the recordSeptember 26, 1997
I want to end as I began by expressing my deep concern over this whole attempt to tiptoe into the area of free expression in a free society regarding political activity and political speech. I know it is frustrating to see large amounts of money come into a campaign. As Senator Specter said, "Senator Heinz had virtually unlimited resources and I did not. And Senator Heinz put those resources into the race and I was prohibited." "Now," says Senator Specter, "my brother had enough money to fund my campaign, but my brother was forbidden to put that money into the campaign and, therefore, I was at an unfair disadvantage to John Heinz." My solution to that would be let his brother put the money in the campaign.
