- <p>Clinton's campaign-finance reform may be less crusade than
- retreat
- </p>
- <p> Some G.O.P. Senators are threatening a filibuster against
- Clinton's new campaign-finance proposal. The plan calls for some
- public financing of campaigns, and would bar big donors from
- dodging contribution limits by funneling funds through a
- presidential candidate's political party. The problem is that
- the proposal is heavy on concessions to reform-shy Democratic
- leaders and on retreats from Clinton's pledge to reduce the
- maximum contribution by a political-action committee to a
- congressional candidate from $5,000 to $1,000. Democratic
- Representative Mike Synar complained, "What the public got with
- this package does not meet their true test of reform."
