WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Federal Election Commission approved on Friday the release of $74.7 million in federal money that Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry and running mate John Edwards will use until Election Day.
The FEC has notified the Treasury Department, which will wire the cash to the campaign, the commission said.
Because Kerry accepted public funding for the general election, he is prohibited from spending any other cash since he accepted his party's nomination at its Boston convention Thursday night.
