Celebrating Imminent Passage of Campaign Finance Reform Legislation ...1 of 1
March 20, 2002.  Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle joined leaders of the campaign finance reform effort in celebrating the Senate's 68-32 cloture vote on H.R.2356, the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002.  The Senate passed the bill later in the day in a 60-40 vote; the House had passed it on February 14 in a 240 to 189 vote.  To signal his resolve about moving the bill, Daschle had earlier ordered a dozen folding cots wheeled into the Capitol.
