"McCain, Feingold Targeting Rider"

Roll Call offers this report (paid subscription required), which begins: "Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) implored their colleagues Monday to support their efforts to remove a campaign-finance rider to the Treasury-Transportation appropriations bill, which is slated to come to the Senate floor as early as this week. The provision would allow lawmakers’ leadership political action committees to give unlimited funds to the national party committees, opening what the two Senators believe would be a significant loophole in the campaign finance law."
