Subject: Statement on Campaign Finance Reform -- 6.16.93
The White House
Office of the Press Secretary
-----------------------------------------------------------------
For Immediate Release June 16, 1993
STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT ON THE END OF THE
CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM FILIBUSTER
I congratulate the Senators from both parties who voted to
break the filibuster of campaign finance reform. Today, the
Senate showed it has heard the American people's demand for
change. I have long believed that we will not give the middle
class the economic growth and health care reform it needs unless
we also reform our political system. Today's vote is a
breakthrough in the fight to give the government back to the
American people.
The stage is now set for passage of campaign finance reform
legislation that limits spending, curbs the special interests,
and opens up the airwaves to greater competition. Make no
mistake; this legislation, while it necessarily contains
compromises, will change Washington for the better.
This must be only the first step in our effort to ensure
that Washington works for the national interest, and not narrow
interests. I urge the Senate to pass this legislation tomorrow.
I urge the House to act quickly on its own campaign finance
reform bill. And I urge the Congress to move forward on lobby
disclosure legislation, that brings the activities of lobbyists
into the sunlight of public scrutiny.
