FEC legislation passes House
WASHINGTON (UPI)
Turning back an effort to
extend public financing to
congressional elections, the
House yesterday passed
legislation to reconstitute the
Federal Election Commission
and make major revisions in
the law it administers.
The vote on final passage
was 241 to 155.
The measure now goes to a
conference with the Senate
next week to work out major
differences between their two
versions of the bill ranging
from the size of the
reconstituted commission
to how tightly Congress may
control its decisions.

measure back to the House

BRING US YOUR
PET ROCK
for Free Cleaning
and Inspection!
During the next two weeks, April 3
through April 1 7th, we thought it
would be nice if some of you whom
we've never met plus, of course,
our old friends would come in and
see our fine jewelry.
So what we are doing is inviting
you to bring in your pet jewelry
(gold, platinum and gems only please).
We will clean it for you (if your stones
aren't allergic), tell you how it is holding
up, suggest ways in which you might
bring it up to snuff, up to date, even
talk to it.
You 'do not have to pay us a penny.
A polite thank you would be sufficient.
