        It would be helpful if you would be specific.  Which 
representives are receiving the pressure and from what pressure 
groups.  

        Blanket statements cloud the basic issue which seems 
like a general pitch for campaign funds.  This is understandable 
when you consider that the average senator needs to raise $20,000 
each day to fund his re-election
