I begin by adding my compliments to Senators Feingold and McCain for their extraordinary efforts in passing and helping to usher through a far-reaching piece of legislation that will hopefully close the loopholes and help Members conduct campaigns that truly meet the spirit and intent of the reform laws we have passed over the course of the last couple of years. We need to have the kind of campaigns of which we can all be proud, ones that allow people in this Nation to express their views, yet have campaigns and financing and funding that are fully and completely disclosed. I thank them and acknowledge their work.
