 FOOTNOTE: [1] These dates indicate the beginning and the end of the reporting period. A reporting period always begins the day after the closing date of the last report filed. If the committee is new and has not previously filed a report, the first report must cover all reportable activity that occurred before the committee registered up through the close of books for the first report due.
