On the recordJuly 25, 1996
Mr. Chairman, the gentleman correctly described the Democratic bill. What it does is coerce people to provide subsidies so that government can attempt to convince people they should not exercise their free speech rights. That is the typical approach that the Democrats use in the use of government; that is, coercion, control, and limits. But I really would like to focus on the bill itself. If anyone is interested, section 304 says, merchandising and affinity cards. We have heard the term ``true reform.'' We have heard common sense in terms of the way the Democrats are approaching this. Take a look at section 304. It says, Notwithstanding the provisions of this section or any other provision of this Act to the contrary, an amount received from a corporation shall be deemed to meet the limitations and prohibitions of this act if such amount represents a commission or a royalty. True reform or a scam?
