                PEOPLE WANT REAL 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. Mr. Speaker, today is the third anniversary of President 
Clinton's handshake agreeing with Speaker Gingrich to have real 
campaign finance reform here in the House of Representatives.
  Last night, the majority whip actually said when he was talking about 
campaigning, and I quote him, he said, ``We don't spend enough money in 
campaigns.''
  While he and his cohorts talked against a constitutional amendment 
that he himself brought to the House of Representatives, it was 
absolutely clear to everybody listening that they do not get it. They 
do not understand that the people of this country want a real debate 
about campaign finance reform. They do not want a ruse. They do not 
want stalling. And the people of this country want back into the 
election process.
