Federal Election Commission Enforcement - House Oversight Committee 1998-03-31 - Product 103007-1-DVD - U.S. House of Representatives.  House Committee on Government Reform and Oversight. Committee members heard testimony concerning Federal Election Commission investigation and prosecution practices. The particular incident in question was the FEC refusal to pursue Howard Glicken for soliciting and funneling a 0,000 contribution from Thomas Kramer, a German citizen, to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee in 1993. Several FEC officials defended their dropping the case because they would not have had enough time to pursue Glicken in a lengthy litigation before the statute of limitations expired. Burton and others wondered whether they had dropped their investigation because Glicken was a close friend of Vice President Gore.  Filmed by C-SPAN. Non-commercial use only.
