Let me briefly say, personally this is a day of celebration for me based upon the fact when I first came down here, campaign finance laws were such that the only money people were able to obtain was the money they would get from individuals. Since then, we have developed this system where people are going around picking up money from corporations. Corporation money should not be part of Federal elections. Enron is a perfect example. I hope everyone will understand what a happy day it should be in Washington as a result of what the House did last night.
