President. today is the first day of testimony in the Senate Governmental Affairs special investigation of the 1996 Federal election campaign contributions. There is. of course. but one purpose to this investigation. That purpose is to review campaign financing practices during the 1996 election to determine whether Federal laws were violated. I think it is fair to state that Federal campaign laws in question are relatively straightforward. It is illegal under U.S. election law for a noncitizen to contribute to campaigns. It is illegal for anyone to contribute to a campaign in someone elses name. And. it is illegal to solicit campaign funds on Federal property.
