                PASS MEANINGFUL CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM

  (Ms. WOOLSEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. WOOLSEY. Madam Speaker, we have heard from the White House, we 
have heard from the Senate, and we have heard from the American people 
loud and clear. It is time to move forward and pass meaningful campaign 
finance reform. Now we are hearing that the majority leader might do 
something sometime. When is this House going to be ready? When will the 
leadership of this House be prepared to clean up the campaign finance 
mess we have in this country?
  This House, the people's House, should be the loudest voice in the 
chorus. We must put a stop to big money special interests flooding the 
halls of our Government. It is time, Madam Speaker, for the Republican 
leadership to join with us to tell the American people that the buck 
stops here.
