McCain Bradley unite for campaign finance reform pledge
In Claremont New Hampshire Republican John McCain and Democrat Bill Bradley joined forces to call for genuine campaign finance reform and an end to soft money. They pressed for a joint pledge to prevent parties from using unlimited donations in presidential campaigns. The event drew reporters to the town hall and echoed past talks of a reform commission that never materialized. Gore supports a soft money ban while Bush opposes it, and McCain asserts a future presidency would see a controlling legal authority over fundraising.

GOP Budget Demands Put Spotlight on Social Security
Washington Republicans press Clinton to protect Social Security surpluses and resist tax cuts. White House spokesman Barry Toiv accuses GOP of advocating massive tax cuts that would drain surpluses and cut priorities from defense to education. GOP leaders Dennis Hastert and Dick Armey urge Clinton to commit to spending goals while sparing Social Security. Clinton plans a 2001 blueprint near 1.8 trillion dollars with modest GOP principles, defense boost, and leaner government amid fragile bipartisanship.
