The aim is to push legislation before August recess while moderates and some members look to portray the deal as hurting the poor and middle class in the 1998 elections.
Sen Edward M Kennedy formed a leadership PAC that spent ten times more on travel and fundraising than on giving to others. Majority Whip Tom DeLay spent 8884 from his PAC on office furniture and Gerald B H Solomon had his PAC fund a trip to the Republican National Convention in San Diego. These leadership PACs proliferate on Capitol Hill, aiding colleagues but often boosting leaders' profiles more than campaign contributions.
The Republican Party sues the Federal Election Commission claiming the agency failed to punish Democrats for financing TV ads backing President Clinton's health care initiative.

Advocates caution that while chaos may not fully unfold, long term stability remains elusive for many.
The Senate plans a new push to create a commission for another round of base closures, led by Sen. John McCain and three others. House opponents blocked funding for further closures, while Defense Secretary Cohen urged two rounds. The effort hinges on White House support and past commission experience.
AARP led a lobbying push that capped hospital outpatient charges starting in 1999, easing seniors’ bills.
