Curtailed spending included in new election reform bill
The House advanced an election reform bill with spending ceilings and preserved the equal time rule. Votes 372 to 23, sending the measure back to a Senate that already passed a similar bill. Provisions to create an independent monitoring commission were defeated along with calls to repeal equal time for all federal candidates. The bill limits broadcasting and printed materials and keeps the equal time provisions under the Communications Act. A Senate plan for a six member commission was rejected 7 to 52, with Rep. Hays arguing for clerk oversight instead.
