The presidential campaign of conservative Republican commentator Pat Buchanan has agreed to pay a $20,000 fine to the Federal Election Commission for improper contributions.
The FEC said Buchanan's 1992 campaign had accepted:
* $8,166 in contributions from corporations, which are prohibited by federal campaign finance law;
* $53,759 in contributions from individuals who exceeded the $1,000-per-person limit;
* $53,251 in improper in-kind contributions to the campaign - campaign expenses picked up by Buchanan himself and two aides but not reimbursed in a timely way.
