I am confident that the evidence brought out at these hearings will help shed light on how we might reform our campaign fundraising laws to prevent many of the abuses of the system that this investigation will also highlight. I have introduced a bill in the Senate that I believe can serve as a vehicle to not only achieve consensus on this important and contentious issue. but that will put a stop to the types of excesses and abuses of our system that have eroded the integrity and public confidence from our Federal political system. For example. my bill specifically prohibits contributions from any foreign entity or any foreign person. including green card holders who are not citizens of this country. I believe that effecting this change of current law would be a positive result of what we have learned from the 1996 Presidential election. It is simply not healthy for our democracy to have foreign influence in the election process.
