FEC spells out new money rules for lawmakers
By Alexander Bolton

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) will tell members of Congress Thursday that they are free to attend soft-money fundraisers for state and local candidates, despite the new campaign finance law that bars them from accepting such funds themselves.

The FEC move, spelling out what is permissible and what is not, is aimed at clearing up what has become a source of concern and confusion for many lawmakers.
