CHARLES A. GONZALEZ: “Regulating campaign finance is FEC's reason for existence and requires the Commissioners' full attention.”

I encourage you all, if we can address the issues of Section 163 and not make it binding where it will be illegal for me to communicate in an official capacity with my constituency, I would encourage you to fix that or vote this bill down.

I hope that there will be a bipartisan bill introduced, obviously, in the Senate in June that will overhaul wartime contracting practices, and that we in the House will act accordingly and support our Senate colleagues.

I don't see that this Congress or any previous Congress has ever been paralyzed by changing technology.

I have never understood the motivations of those who believe either our country or our language needs to be 'protected' by a law like H.R. 997.
