FINDINGS/RECOMMENDATIONS AND RESPONSE 

JOE WALSH FOR CONGRESS COMMITTEE, INC 

1. Disclosure of Occupation/Name of Employer 

All reports affected by employer/occupation information are being amended and filed. "Best Efforts" 

to obtain, maintain and submit information have been made. It appears that much of the information 

was obtained but our reports were not amended to reflect capture of this information. Best Efforts 

were made to collect information from all 285 contributions who lacked disclosure of occupation/name 

of employer. Our report to the PEC regarding our procedures reflected our schedule for issuing letters 

to contributors to collect missing information. Our physical file for letters we received from 

contributors who responded to our request for occupation/name of employer information is evidence of 

our "Best Efforts" attempts to collect information from all contributors. Unfortunately, our electronic 

list was inadvertently destroyed when one of our computers "crashed" and we no longer have physical 

evidence of all letters sent to the remaining contributors. Lisa Lisker of Huckaby, Davis, Lisker has 

Occupation/Employer information for 88 individuals who made, in aggregate, 106 contributions 

totaling $111,860 and is in the process of updating all reports 

2. Receipt of Contributions in Excess of the Limit 

Attached, please find signed letters for excessive contributions. These are all second attempts for 

required signatures. There is only one letter that has yet to be signe^n^j^umed. The letter to Mr 

Richard Stephenson and his wife Alicia is with their lawyersHm^^l and has not yet been 

signed and returned to us. Each contributor had intended their contributions to be a joint contribution 

from more than one person and whether they would like to reattribute the excess amount to the other 

contributor. 

3. Presumptive Redesignation/Reattribution Contributions 

Attached, please find letters that were issued August 1st, 2014 The JWFC committee has attempted, 

again, to resolve the excessive portions of contributions from 29 individuals by forwarding a 

presumptive letter to the contributors. 1 can not locate the exact date of the first letter submitted to each 

contributor but have submitted to you the letters we would have sent based on the procedures we had 

set up and that were provided to you during the audit. Our team, according to established procedures, 

submitted letters to donors within one week of receipt of their contributions.
