                        PAYCHECK PROTECTION ACT

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. MARK W. NEUMANN

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, August 6, 1998

  Mr. NEUMANN. Mr. Speaker, I appreciate this opportunity to briefly 
address the House about the Paycheck Protection Act. I regret that the 
campaign finance bill approved today does not effectively prevent 
organizations from forcing individuals to financially support 
campaigns. The Paycheck Protection Act authored by my friend from 
Colorado, Congressman Bob Schaffer, includes this fundamental principle 
of American democracy. Despite my concerns that the Paycheck Protection 
Act's language as originally drafted may not apply this principle 
equally to unions and corporations, I remain supportive of Congressman 
Schaffer's efforts. Congressman Schaffer has already made some 
improvements to the bill and I look forward to working with him in the 
future.
