United States Senate
Office of the Majority Leader
Washington, DC 20510-7010
July 5, 1989
Dear Colleague:
I am writing to provide you with a list of the legislation that I expect the Senate to consider during the weeks prior to the August recess. This is not an exclusive list, other items may be scheduled as they become available. The list includes the following:
All available Appropriations Bills
Rural Development Bill, S. 1036
Americans with Disabilities Act, S.933
>State Department Authorization, S. 1160
>Foreign Aid Authorization
Legal Immigration, S. 358
Debt Limit Extension :circled:
Reconciliation Bill
Defense Authorization
Expected FSX Veto Override
Other Authorizations and Conference Reports
Executive Calendar Nominations
This list does not necessarily reflect the order in which these items will be considered. It is obvious, given the amount of important legislation included in this list, that the Senate will be very busy during the month of July. Rollcall votes are possible on Monday evenings July 17 and 24, after 5 p.m. I will attempt to adhere to the schedule that provides for no rollcall votes after 7 p.m. on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and no rollcall votes after 3 p.m. on Fridays. Late sessions, with rollcall votes, can be anticipated on all Thursdays.
The exception to this policy will be the week of July 31 to August 4, just prior to the August recess. In order to complete the necessary legislative business, rollcall votes may occur earlier than 5 p.m. on Monday, July 31; after 7 p.m. on Tuesday, August 1 and Wednesday, August, 2; and after 3 p.m. on Friday, August 4. I appreciate your continued cooperation as we attempt to maintain a predictable schedule and complete the Nation's business.
Sincerely,
(signature of Mitchell)
George J. Mitchell

Raised Individual Contribution Limit in Congressional Elections
Increase the individual contribution limit for Congressional candidates to $2,000 from $1,000 per election.
Broadcast Discount/Campaign Cost Reduction
Allow Presidential and Congressional candidates to purchase non-preemptible time at the lowest unit charge for preemptible time, in the last 45 days before the primary and the last 60 days before the general election.
Full Disclosure of "Soft Money" Spending
Require corporations, PACs, labor organizations, and non-profits to report all spending "for the purpose of influencing a federal election" through soft money activities, including voter drives, telephone banks, and membership communications.
Strengthened Disclosure of Party Finances
Require complete disclosure by all national political party committees of receipts, expenditures, and soft money activities in Presidential and Congressional elections.
Enlarging the Role of Political Parties

Prohibition against Bundling
Prohibit all bundling of contributions, except by political party committees.
Controls on Independent Expenditures
