February 1989 FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION Volume 15, Numbe

AO 1988-44: Effect of Statute of Limitations

on Committee's Debts

The Bonner for Congress Committee, the indebted

principal campaign committee of an unsuccessful

1982 primary candidate, may not file a termination report despite the fact that a state statute of

limitations bars collection of debts that are over

six: years old.

Under the Act and FEC regulations, a committee may terminate only when it has no outstanding debts and no longer receives contributions or makes expenditures. 2 U.S.C. S433(d)(l)j

11'CFR 102.3. The Bonner Committee, which

ceased fundraising in July 1982, currently has a

cash balance of $2.25 and owes $11,263 in debts,

all of which were incurred before August 1982.

The Pennsylvania statute of limitations could

preclude payment of the debts should the Committee be sued by its creditors and invoke the

state statute as a defense. Even under these

circumstances, the creditors' claims would not be

extinguished under Pennsylvania law; the debts

would continue to exist. The Commission, which

generally looks to state law to determine whether

a debt or obligation has been extinguished,

concluded that the Committee still has outstanding debts and, for that reason, may not

terminate.

The Committee may, however, take steps

toward eventual termination by filing a debt settlement statement with the Commission. (FEC

Directive 3, July 22, 1982.) If the Commission

finds that the Committee has complied with procedures for settling debts owed to corporate creditors (11 CFR 114.l0(c» and with other requirements, it will notify the Committee, which may

then file a termination report and stop reporting.

Until then, it must continue to report its debts

and obligations. Commissioner Thomas filed a

concurring opinion. (Date issued: November 10,

1988; Length: 10 pages, including concurring

opinion)

AO 1988-45: Definition of National

Party Committee

The Populist Party of America National Committee does not qualify as a "national committee"

under the law because it has not conducted widespread federal activity. It may not, therefore,

take advantage of the higher limits that apply to

contributions to national committees; nor may it

make coordinated party expenditures under 2

U.S.C. S441a(d).

The Act and FEC regulations define national

committee as "the organization which, by virtue

of the bylaws of a political party, is responsible

for the day-to-day operation of such political

4

party at the national level, as determined by 

Commission." 2 U.S.C. S431(14); 11 CFR 100

In a series of advisory opinions, the Commiss

has applied several criteria to determine whet

a committee has sufficient activity at the nati

allevel to qualify as a national committee. 

AOs 1980-131, 1980-121, 1980-96, 1980-3, 19

58, 1976-95 and 1975-129. Indicia of nation

level activity include:

o Nominating candidates for federal office 

numerous states;

o Engaging in certain activities on an ongo

basis (rather than for a partlculer electio

such as conducting voter drives, provid

speakers and organizing volunteer workers;

o Publicizing issues of importance to the party

o Holding a national convention; and

o Establishing a national office and state af

iates.

While the Populist Party has conducted so

of the activities listed above, its activity w

respect to federal candidates has been limited 

the national level. Aside from the Par

Presidential ticket, which appeared on twe

state ballots, only five other Party candidates 

federal office appeared on the ballot, and all 

those in Pennsylvania. Moreover, the Comm

tee's reports disclosed no contributions or ot

disbursements in support of Congressional can

dates.

The Commission noted that the Populist P

ty has taken a number of steps to establish its

as a national party committee and could att

that status in the future. (Date issued: Decem

15, 1988; Length: 4 pages)

that described in AO 1979-38, in which the Co

mission concluded that a corporation and its 

censees were affiliated based on the corporatio

contributions. 2 U.S.C. §441b; 11 CFR 114.2(b).

The Commission also concluded that Collins

and Sizzler may use a payroll deduction plan to

collect contributions from their executive and

administrative personnel. 11 CFR 114.5(k); AO

AO 1988-48: Contributions to Trade Association

PAC Matched with

Charitable Donations

The National-American Wholesale Grocers' Association, Inc. (NAWGA), an incorporated trade

association, may match members' contributions to

its separate segregated fund with donations to

charities designated by contributors. This matching plan is permissible assuming:

o Participation is limited to individual, noneorporate members of NAWGA, as specified in

NAWGA's proposalj and

o The designated charities qualify as tax-exempt

entities under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal

Revenue Code.

Under the law, while corporations may pay

the solicitation expenses of their separate segregated funds, they may not use this process "as a

means of exchanging treasury monies for voluntary contributions." NAWGNs plan does not result

in such a prohibited exchange. 2 U.S.C. S441b(b)

(2)(C); 11 CFR 114.5(b). Contributing members

will not receive any financial or tangible benefits,

including tax benefits, through their participation

in the program (though the tax ramifications of

NAWGA's plan are outside the FECls jurisdiction).

though, under the committee's policy, associa

do not make such contributions). Moreover,

FEDERALELECTION COMMISSION

Volume 15, Number 2

In response to those who advocate' FEC

regulatlon of money raised for nonfederal

elections, Mr. Josefiak said that Congress did not

grant the FEe authority over nonfederal activity.

"We cannot impose our jurisdiction upon

legitimate state and local political activity by

virtue of an imputed or tangential effect upon

federal elections," He went on to say that the

Commission has a responsibility to "clarify the

allocation regulations... to more clearly define the

threshold for asserting federal election law

jurisdiction." The agency must also "assure the

public of the continuing integrity of federal

election law contribution limits and the public

financing of Presidential elections."

Testimony

The Commission heard conflicting views from

representatives of party committees and public

interest groups. Party committee witnesses saw

no evidence that soft money was improperly used

in the past Presidential election, arguing that the

problem was "perceptual," caused by misleading

news articles. They claimed that soft money was

properly used to fund state and local races. Mr. E

Mark Braden, representing the Repuoliean National Committee, said. "I don't know of a single soft

dollar spent for a George Bush yard sign or

bumper sticker." He also argued that most money

raised by state and local party committees meets

the federal law's requirements anyway. Mr

Joseph A. Rieser of the Democratic National

Committee noted that "only about 30 percent" of

funds raised by the DNC in 1988 were in the form

of nonfederal contributions.

In contrast to the parties' views, Ms. Ellen S

Miller of the Center for Responsive Politics contended that soft money has undermined the Integri ty of the public funding law. She said that

fundraisers associated with the Presidential candidates raised at least $130 million from private

sources in 1988, although the campaigns "are

supposed to be primarily funded by the $92.2

million the two candidates receive from taxpayers," Mr. Fred Wertheimer of Common Cause also

believed that soft money was eroding the integrity of Presidential public financing. He said that

each Presidential campaign in the general election raised more than $20 million in soft money.

He suggested that Presidential candidates who

receive public funding be required to certify that

they will not raise any soft money.

On the specific issue of allocation, party

representatives and Common Cause also disagreed. Mr. Wertheimer urged the Commission to

reject the use of any prohibited funds for voter

registration and get-out-the-vote drives, while

Mr. Gordon M. Strauss of the Ohio Republican

Party, Mr. Robert F. Bauer of the Democratic

Congressional Campaign Committee and Mr

Rieser (DNC) opposed any fixed formula.

February 1989

PUBLIC HEARING ON ALLOCATION OF

FEDERAL AND NONFEDERAL SPENDINGl

The Commission held an all-day hearing on

December 15, 1988, to discuss how political

committees should allocate disbursements that

influence both federal and nonfederal elections.

While the portion allocable to federal elections

must be paid with funds subject to the

prohibi tions and limits of the Federal Election

Campaign Act, the portion allocated to

nonfederal activity may be financed with funds

subject only to relevant state and local laws,

which are often less restrictive than federal law.

Money raised outside federal law is popularly

called "soft money,"

Chairman's Opening Remarks

In his openin~ statement, then-Chairman

Thomas J. J osefiak said that the purpose of the

hearing was "to discuss ways to provide committees better guidance as to what 'reasonable allocation' means." He continued; "The task before

the Commission, then, continues to be to clarify

and refine the allocation regulations."

Acknowledging that "the allocation issue

became clouded by allegations that the campaigns

of both Presidential candidates raised large

amounts of so-called 'soft mon~y,'" Chairman

J osefiak stressed that "there is no ambiguity or

loophole in federal election law that permits the

spending of 'soft money' in support of federal

eandidates." If abuses of soft money occurred in

the past election cycle, "the Commission will

vigorously pursue any complaint brought before

it." He also observed that the soft money

controversy has largely focused on who raised the

funds and how the money was raised rather than

on how the funds were spent.

1The Commission annoWlced the hearing in a

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on the allocation

rules, 11 CFR Part 106 (53 Fed. Reg. 38012,

9/29/88; change of hearing date published

FEDERAL ELECTION CONIMISSION

•

February 1989

Rather than a uniform approach to allocation, the party representatives advocated more

flexible standards that would take into account

the varying levels of federal activity among party

committees. At the same time, they were against

complex methods of allocating expenses, and

asked the Commission to develop methods that

could be easily used by people who have not had

specialized training. Mr. Rieser (DNC) said that

many party committees are staffed by volunteers

and that even those committees with paid workers

have a high turnover.

An important point discussed by the national

party representatives was the need for increased

disclosure. While they disagreed on the extent of

disclosure that should be required, they concurred

in saying that party committees should report the

allocation method used and the percentage of

spending allocated as a federal expense.

SUMMARYOF PUBLIC FUNDING

FOR 1988 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS

By the end of 1988, the Commission had

certified over $176 million in federal funds for

the 1988 Presidential elections.

Primary Matching Funds

Tbe Commmission's total certifications for

1988 matching funds reached $65,704,805 by December 1988. This figure will change as

candidates continue to request matching funds

through the March 1989 deadline to retire

qualified campaign debts and wind down campaign

activity. Even after March, the Commission may

certify funds based on resubmissions (corrections

to matching fund requests that were previously

rejected because of inadequacies).

The maximum amount a primary candidate

may receive in matching funds is half of the

statutory spending limit ($10 million), as adjusted

for inflation. The 1987 cost-or-living adjustment

(COLA) brought the 1988 spending limit to

$23.050 million; a 1988 candidate could receive

half that amount, or $11.525 million, in matching

funds. By December 1988, however, no candidate

had reached that limit.

Convention Funding

The Democratic and Republican parties each

received $9.220 million in federal funds to finance

their 1988 Presidential nominating conventions.

Because major parties may receive their grants

the year before the election, in July 1987 the

Commission certified $8.892 million to each

convention committee. This amount represented

the statutory entitlement of $4 million increased

7

Volume 15, Number 

by the 1986 COLA. In March 1988, after the 1

COLA became available, the agency certified 

additional $328,000 to each party.

General Election Funding

During July and August 1988, the Commiss

cer tififed $46.1 million in public funds to e

major party Presidential campaign. This amo

represented the statutory entitlement of 

million increased by the 1987 COLA.
