The level of reportable campaign finance activity grew at a record- setting pace during the 1995-96 election cycle totaling more than $2.6 billion-up more than 25 percent since the last Presidential and congressional campaigns. This year the Commission will introduce an interim voluntary electronic filing system for disclo- sure reports while continuing the development of a full electronic filing system. Steps are underway to improve existing FEC operations including the enforcement priority system and computer intiatives. In the event of the passage of campaign finance reform legisla- tion, the FEC would administer, implement and enforce any new laws enac.ted. It is essential that the FEC continue to focus its limited re- sources on the agency's core mission and programs. We always welcome comments and suggestions on how to better serve our various constituencies. I end this note with a personal thank you to our valued staff for their outstanding work and contin- ued contributions. +
