Opposing Senate Panels Cloud Election Reform's Future
The future of an election reform bill dampens as two Senate committees clash over campaign spending limits. The Rules Committee, guiding the bill to Nixon-era standards, removed a $5,000 individual contribution cap and backed a single overall advertising ceiling. Commerce rejected the per-person, per-media limits and the idea of using one type of advertising for the full amount, a move that would raise presidential media spending. Both panels favored fuller disclosure requirements for committees spending over $1,000 annually.
