approved' the most far-reaching
changes to the nation’s campaign
finance system since the Watergate
scandals on Wednesday, sweeping
aside years of gridlock to clear legis-
lation for President Bush’s signature.
Bush said he will sign the bill,
though he called it "flawed in some
areas.” Critics attacked the bill as
unconstitutional and pledged a swift
court challenge.
