On the recordSeptember 14, 1999
Mr. Chairman, I certainly was not a lit major in college, but my recollection of Edgar Allen Poe's The Telltale Heart, was that the heart beating was in his head, that in fact it was a dream, it was a myth. It was not reality, and I think the gentlewoman's point is excellent if, in fact, that is the case that she is making, that in fact there was no true heartbeat. There is no true problem here. Let me also say that my friend from California (Mr. Campbell) complaining that we use Buckley versus Valeo in the support for soft money just used it for hard money, and I would love to ask the gentleman if the Dow Jones average was about 800 in 1978, and of course it is about 10 times that amount now, would he support an increase in hard dollar amounts?
