On the recordApril 9, 1997

I do not apologize to anyone for saying that the system of campaign finance in this country is rotten to the core. There are good people here, and even they are turned in a bad direction by the way we finance campaigns, and the sooner the gentleman from Colorado and every Member of this body, Democrat and Republican, face that, the sooner we will be able to clean it up and restore people's faith. Mr. Speaker, I love this country as much as the gentleman from Colorado [Mr. McInnis] does. I ask my colleagues to go ask the American people. The system of the way we finance campaigns is rotten to the core.
