PAC money flows to 1996 candidates from PACs
PACs, once sidelined in 1992, are back with $1.5 million in contributions to Republican hopefuls in 1996. Bob Dole leads with about $608,000 in six months, followed by Phil Gramm, Lamar Alexander, and Pete Wilson. Clinton refuses PAC money. Some donors hedge bets by funding multiple candidates, while others back lawmakers able to influence policy.

Telecommunications reform bill approved in House vote
The House approved a sweeping telecommunications reform bill by 305 to 117, promising changes to phone and TV services for the 21st century and potential rate declines. An added amendment would require TV makers to install a V chip to block certain programs, drawing mixed reactions from lawmakers and President Clinton.
House approves sweeping telecommunications bill with Vchip provision
The House passed a major telecom rewrite on Friday, with Kansas delegation votes including Brownback Yes and Meyers No. Simon, adviser to Vice President Gore, said veto remains despite some bill improvements such as reduced media concentration. The bill allows cable, local and long distance firms into each other’s markets, while critics warn of higher rates and favoring big companies. Markey led the Vchip amendment, approved 224-199, and the measure urges industry support for blocking technologies.
