The Hill offers this report.
Roll Call reports
on a new bill by Senators McCain and Feingold to require electronic
filing of Senate campaign finance disclosure reports.
Roll Call offers this
report
(paid subscription required), which begins: "The leaders of five
Democratic-leaning organizations have refused to testify about their
soft-money activities during a House Administration Committee hearing
scheduled for Thursday, forcing Republicans to decide whether to use
their subpoena power to compel the officials to appear." The Hill's
report is
available free on-line. All of this grows out of the contributions by
George Soros and others to Democratic-leaning 527s.
