S 437g(a)l, I hereby. file a complaint against the respondents listed for the follo g violations of the federal campaign finance laws: Violations: 1. Excessive Personal Contributions 2. Illegal Earmarked Contributions 3. Expenses benefiting a Candidate - Not reported Respondents: Attorney General Charles Oberly Oberly Senate Committee (C#00282517) 3409 Lancaster Pike Wilmington, DE 19805 Don Henley West Hollywood, CA 90069 Delaware Democratic State Party P.O. Box 2065 Wilmington, DE 19805 The Facts 1. On September 22, 1994 in the Delaware State News, it was reported that California rock star Don Henley had contributed $20,000 to the Delaware Democratic Party. [Taken by itself, there is nothing illegal about this contribution.] 2. The September 28, 1994 issue of The Wave reports that Charles Oberly says "rock star and former singer Don Henley contributed $100,000 to his campaign." (Copies of both articles are enclosed.) * 1 Office of the General Counsel 0 October 19, 1994 Page 2 It would appear that: a) If Don Henley did give $100,000 to the Oberly Senate Committee he has made an excessive campaign contribution. b) If Don Henley gave $100,000 to the Democratic State Party with the intention that it be spent on the Oberly Senate Committee it would be an earmarked contribution and subject to be counted against both contributor's limit and the party committee's limit for that candidate. c) The state party is preparing to spend this money directly to benefit the Oberly Senate Committee. If spent on Charlie Oberly's behalf, it would not count as coordinated expenditures or party building activities. Thus it should be reported as an in-kind contribution. d) The Democratic State Party's federal committee may only accept contributions up to $5,000 from an individual. Thus, none of this money beyond the $5,000 would be available to spend on a federal campaign, since money contributed in excess of $5,000 would be deposited in the State Party's C\1 non-federal account (which under Delaware State law is allowed to accept corporate funds.) '110I request that you initiate immediate action against the respondents to investigate the appearance and possible violation 1-0 of campaign finance laws.

After 12 years of Republican rule in the White House, the Democratic nominee rolled in on the wave of the public's desire for change and fowxi himself atop a decisive 370 elecraal college win. Not since Lyndon B. Johnson had a Democratic tresidential nominee won by such a large margin. President Bush, who received 168 electa'al college votes conceded to Clinton's victory in his speech from Houston by saying ''the people have spoken." Bush said, "We respect the majesty of the Democratic system. Vice President Dan Quayle maiChed Bush's composure in defeat. "Tonight is Bill Cliruon's night." Quayle said. "If he runs the country as well as he ran his CIIItlplign, we'll be alright." H. Ross Perot, who earned no elecraal college votes but received about20 percent of lhe popular voce. spoke in suppat of the future Clinton Administration. "fo Govemc:r Ointon," he said, "the people have given you a snung mandate. Our organization pledges to support any programs that are good fer the oountry."
