“If you listen to the opponents of this bill you can swear that is all McCain-Feingold is. But there are 25 other provisions that our opponents choose to ignore, because not only are they essentially noncontroversial provisions, they are the very provisions that, for example, the Senator from Montana was just talking about. A number of Senators today said on the floor, why don't we do full disclosure? What I want to say to my colleagues, Mr. President, if you kill the McCain-Feingold bill, you will be eliminating a number of very key new provisions that will provide exactly the full disclosure that Members of the other side have been calling for. In other words, our bill does disclosure and more. So, why all this talk about why don't we do full disclosure of campaign contributions? The bill greatly enhances disclosure.”
