                        CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM

  (Ms. HOOLEY of Oregon asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. HOOLEY of Oregon. Madam Speaker, a bipartisan group of freshmen 
legislators have crafted a campaign finance reform bill that can pass 
with strong support from Members on both sides of the aisle.
  This is not a radical measure. It is incremental and focuses 
exclusively on areas of consensus between Republicans and Democrats. No 
partisan poison pills were included in the bill.
  I urge the leadership to bring a measure up that appeals to both 
sides like this one, not a bill loaded with partisan politics. Madam 
Speaker, the American people want to see reform, not political games on 
this floor. It is time to bring up campaign finance reform measures 
that address the issues we all agree on.
