Campaign Law Tests 1974 limits in presidential race
The 1974 campaign spending law aims to curb fund giving and spending after Watergate. It caps individual primary and general contributions at 1000 dollars and total primary spending at 10 million dollars per candidate, with subsidies of 20 million for each major party in the general election. The law limits White House funds, via the FEC, shaping Ford and Reagan primary spending and potentially reducing money's role in the race. The impact in the general election remains to be seen.
