"MR. FLEISCHER: When and if it passes the Senate, and I anticipate that it will, you'll have a written statement by the President answering that question."
You haven't given me a source or date, so I can only respond as I have all along.
The Senate passed it.
Campaign Finance Reform Passes Senate
And Bush said he will sign it. A written statement.
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF GEORGE W. BUSH
Statement by the President

Statement by the President
Like many Republicans and Democrats in the Congress, I support common-sense reforms to end abuses in our campaign finance system. The reforms passed today, while flawed in some areas, still improve the current system overall, and I will sign them into law.
The legislation makes some important progress on the timeliness of disclosure, individual contribution limits, and banning soft money from corporations and labor unions, but it does present some legitimate constitutional questions. I continue to believe the best reform is full and timely disclosure of campaign contributions.

That answers the question for me.
He's not going to lie again and sign it is he?
