On the recordMay 5, 1994
I do not think charity giving of honoraria should be banned. I will confess. I am going to make a confession. I play golf, which is a terrible crime, I understand. And I participate in charity golf tournaments. I played in one recently that was raising money for Christian Fellowship. I think it is a great charity, a great cause to help a lot of people. I participated in other golf tournaments that raised money for good charities. People usually just invite you. They say, ``We would like you to come.'' Yes, they invite politicians, athletes, media people and other people that they think might have the draw. But they are encouraging people to come to contribute to the American Cancer Society, the Heart Institute, you name it, lots of charities. As I understand this proposal, those charity events will be banned if a lobbyist participates, and who in the world knows whether or not lobbyists participate.
