                  STONEWALLING CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM

  (Mr. SCARBOROUGH asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SCARBOROUGH. Mr. Speaker, my goodness. Thank God the liberals 
have never raised money in New York City. You know, it is interesting, 
the last speaker shows us the nature of the Democrat's complaints in 
the past. Here we have somebody complaining about us adjourning at 4 
o'clock, when he voted at 10 o'clock to adjourn. I do not understand 
it. Do you like 10 o'clock better than 4 o'clock?
  By gosh, this is the same Democratic Party that complains about 
campaign finance reform, and complains about not being able to trace 
soft money, when the same people that come here get over $500,000 from 
unions that we could not trace for 6 months. We finally traced it. They 
are getting more money that you cannot trace than I got in my entire 
TWO campaigns, and yet they are saying we must do something to trace 
soft money.
  Mr. Speaker, it is absolutely ridiculous. That is why the New York 
Times this past weekend attacked the DNC for stone-walling campaign 
finance reform. They attacked the DNC for not doing enough to really 
clear this up. Stop changing the subject.
