IMPORTANT NOTE: Although most candidates filed reports on July 31st, their detailed data will not be key-punched into the FEC's database for several weeks (a good argument for making electronic filing mandatory). However, anticipate getting summary figures for the first six months filings for 1999 as they become available. We'll be updating the site on a daily basis as we obtain these figures. *************************************** JUST FILED - DNC SOFT MONEY REPORT COVERING JAN-JUNE 1999. Highlights: * Carl H.
