He blamed the TV industry for inflating the cost of fighting elections, saying that candidates spent $400 million on commercials in 1996, against $25 million in 1972. The initiative provided a focus for discussion among several US Congressmen at the American Advertising Federation’s Government Affairs Conference on 13th March 1997 in Washington DC.
