Impaired 202/376-3136)

Annual Contribution Limit

for Individuals: 11 CFR 110.5

The Commission modified section 110.5 to

clarify that:

o The $25,000 limit applies to all contributions

made by an individual-including, for example,

contributions to delegates and delegate

committees and to persons making independent

expenditures. The E&J further clarifies that

contributions to persons testing the waters and

to Presidential campaign compliance funds are

also subject to the annual limit.

o The $25,000 limit applies only to contributions

made by individuals who are permitted to contribute under the election law.

o A contribution to a candidate made with respect to a particular election, but made during

a nonelection year, applies to the annual limit

for the year in which the election is held. (For

example, an undesignated contribution made in

1989 to a 1990 Congressional candidate counts

toward the donor's 1990 limit; likewise, if the

1989 contribution were designated for 1988

debt retirement, the contribution would apply

toward the donor's 1988 limit.) Also, a nonelection year contribution to an unauthorized committee counts toward the donor's limit for that

nonelection year, unless (1) the comrnittee is a

single candidate committee supporting a candidate running in a different year or (2) the

contribution, if earmarked for a particular candidate, is designated by the donor for a particular election. (The unauthorized committee in

this case would be acting as the conduit.)

Earmarked Contributions: 11 CFR 110.6

The revised rules, like the current ones, apply

only to contributions earmarked for a particular

candidate or candidate's committee. Contributions forwarded through a conduit or intermediary

to an unauthorized committee should follow the

rules on receiving and reporting contributions at

11 CFR l02.8 and 104.3(a)(4).

Definitions: 11 CFR 110.6(b). The new rules

define the phrase "conduit or intermediary" at

new paragraph 1l0.6(b)(2). A conduit or intermediary (the two terms are synonymous) is a

person who receives and forwards contributions

earmarked to a candidate or authorized committee, with certain exceptions. Those who would

not be considered conduits include:

o Agents of a campaign, such as employees, 

time volunteers, and persons occupying a sig

ieant position in the campaign organization 

are expressly authorized to raise funds for 

campaign;

o Affiliated committees;

o Fundraising representatives conducting· j

fundraising with the campaign; and

o Commercial fundraising firms retained by 

campaign.

The new definition also explicitly prov

that persons who are prohibited from ma

contributions and expenditures in connection 

federal elections, such as foreign nationals, 

porations, labor organizations and governm

contractors, are also prohibited from actin

conduits for candidates or their committees. 

arate segregated funds may continue to ac

conduits for contributions to candidates.

Reporting by Conduits: 11 CFR 110.6(c

New language in paragraph (c)(1) specifies tha

earmarked contribution should be itemized in 

conduit's report covering the period in which 

received. (The current rules state simply that 

contribution should be itemized in the "next 

report.) New paragraph (0)(1) also specifies 

conduits not ordinarily required to file disclo

reports must inform the Commission of the 

duit activity by letter within 30 days a.fter 

warding the contribution. 

New paragraph (c)(l) also clarifies, that 

duits must use memo entries to disclose contr

tions passed on by means of the contribu

check.

Finally, the new conduit reporting rules 

lete the previous reporting exception for. o

sional transfers of earmarked contributions to

ing $IJOOO or less, contained in current parag

(c)(5). The exception was created when 

Commission had the authority to grant repor

waivers; that authority was repealed by Cong

in 1979.

Reporting by Candidate Committees: 11 

110.6(c)(2). Revised paragraph (c)(2) spec

that a recipient candidate must itemize the i

tification of any conduit that forwards $20

more in contributions during one calendar y

The candidate committee must also list info

tion identifying contributors who, through 

duits, contribute $200 or more in aggregate

tributions to that committee during one calendar

year. For earmarked contributions aggregating

less than $200, the reporting requirements of 11

CF R Part 104 continue to apply.

Direction or Control: 11 CFR llO.6(d). Revised section 110.6(d)(2) states clearly that, as

under the current rules, an earmarked contribution is considered to be made by the conduit and

is subject to the conduit's own contribution limit

if the conduit exercises any direction or control

over the choice of the recipient candidate, In

reporting the activity, a conduit that exercises

direction or control should attribute the full

amount of the earmarked contribution to both the

original contributor and to itself. The recipient

candidate or committee should also report the

dual attribution of the contribution.

As to determining whether conduits have

exercised direction or control over earmarked

contributions, the Com mission will continue to

evaluate these si tuations on a case-by-case basis.

Explanation and Justification

The E&J, published August 17 in the Federal

Register along with the final rules, further explains the significance of the new rules and discusses some aspects of the rules which the

Commission decided not to change. For more

information, call the Information Services Division at 800/424-9530.

An advisory opinion (AO) issued by the Commission provides guidance on a specific situation

described in an advisory opinion request (AOR).

Any person who has requested and received an AO

and acts in accordance with the opinion will not

be SUbject to any sanctions under the Act. Other

persons may rely on the opinion if they are

involved in an activity that is materially indistinguishable from the activity described in the

AO; Those seeking guidance on a particular

activity, however, should consult the full text of

the relevant AO and not rely only on the summaries given in the Record.

November 1989 FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION Volume 15, Numbe

The election law prohibits the sale or use of

information copied from reports for the purpose

of soliciting contributions or for commercial

purposes. 2 U.S.C. S438(a)(4). The law does

provide one exception: the names and addresses

of political committees contained in reports can

be used to solicit contributions from those committees.

The Commission has based its interpretation

of the "sale and use restriction" on the Act's

legislative history, which makes clear that section

438(a)(4) was intended to restrict the solicitation

of individual contributors and to prevent the use

of their names for commercial purposes. The

Commission has permitted vendors and others to

copy the names and addresses of political committees for use in publications and solicitations,

as long as information identifying individual contributors was not included. AOs 1988-2, 1986-25,

STERN v, FEe

On August 31, 1989, the U.S. District Court

for the District of Columbia granted the Commission's motion for judgment on the pleadings in

Philip M. Stern v. FEC (Civil Action No. 89-B9».

The court found that the Commission did not act

contrary to law in dismissing an administrative

complaint that Mr. Stern had filed. Additionally,

the court dismissed the remaining portion of Mr.

Stern's suit for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.

Background

Mr. Stern filed his original administrative

complaint in August 1988, alleging that General

Electric Company had unlawfully spent money

from its separate segregated fund, GE/PAC, "for

lobbying rather than for political purposes." Following the advice of the General Counsel, who

noted that nothing in the Act or regulations

prohibited the use of PAC funds for lobbying purposes, the Commission found no reason to believe

that a violation of the law had occurred and

dismissed the complaint in November 1988. The

plaintiff challenged the dismissal by filing suit

against the Commission in January 1989.

In asking the district court to review the

Commission's action on his complaint, Mr. Stern

also presented new information alleging further

similar violations of the law by GE in connection

with the 1987 -88 elections. These allegations had

not been made in the original complaint.

4

District Court Decision

The plaintiff argued that the provision o

Act that permits corporations to set up sep

segregated funds "for political purposes" (2 U

§44Ib(b)(2» precluded the use of those fund

purposes other than to influence elections. 

Act's definitions of the terms "contribution" 

"expenditure" describe those activities as "ha

the purpose of influencing an election." 2 U

§43l(8)(A)(i) and (9)(A)(i).) Mr. Stern claimed 

contributions and expenditures made by GEI

on behalf of incumbent Congressional candid

who faced little or no opposition were not m

to influence elections, but rather to influence 

Congressmen's legislative activity, since, in 

view, the Congressmen were assured re-elec

regardless of their PAC receipts.

In finding that the Commission had not a

contrary to law in dismissing the complaint, 

court concluded that, even if the Act limits 

expenditure of such funds to "political purpo

direct contributions to the principal camp

committees of federal candidates clearly sa

that requirement. While the court thus foun

unnecessary to decide the broader question 

whether PAC funds could be expended for 

"lawful purpose," as the FEC contended, the c

characterized the Commission's position a

reasonable interpretation of the Act.

With regard to Mr. Stern's additional all

tions that OR had committed similar violation

the law during the 1-987 -88 election cycle, 

court found that it had no subject matter juri

tion over those claims and dismissed them. S

the Act provides an exclusive civil enforcem

procedure for violations of the election 

through the administrative apparatus of the C

mission,.and since Mr. Stern had not yet filed 

new charges against GE through that proced

the court had no authority to rule on those cla

Mr. Stern filed a notice of appeal on Sep

ber 14, 1989.

FEC v. WEINBERG

On September 14, 1989, the U.S. District

Court for the District of Columbia issued a final

order and default judgment in FEC v. Mark R.

Weinberg (Civil Action No. 89-04l6(RCL». The

court found that Mr. Weinberg had violated the

terms of a conciliation agreement he had entered

into with the Commission in 1988.

Under the terms of that agreement, Mr.

Weinberg had agreed to pay a $17,000 civil penalty for violations of sections 44Ia(a)(l)(A) and (3)

of the election law. When the defendant failed to

pay the first installment on the penalty, the

Commission filed this suit pursuant to 2 U.S.C.

§437g(a)(5)(D).

The court ordered Mr. Weinberg to comply

wit~ the conciliation agreement within 10 days by

paymg:

0_ The $17,000 original penalty;

o An additional $5,000 for violating the agreement;

o Interest of 6 percent on the penalty; and

o The Commission's court costs.

Finally, the court permanently enjoined Mr.

Weinberg from further violations of the conciliation agreement.

NEW LITIGATION

PEC v, Political

Contributions Data, Inc.

The Commission asks the court to find that

Political Contributions Data, lne., {PCD) violated

the election law by reproducing and selling information on individual contributors compiled from

disclosure reports filed with the FEC.

The Commission claims that in 1986 PCD, a

for-profit corporation operating out of New York

City, obtained FEC computer tapes containing

information from disclosure reports and used

them to produce and sell a variety of "reports" on

filers' financial activity. The "reports" revealed

the names, home cities and zip codes of individual

contributoes, as well as the amount they contributed and the recipients of the contributions.· The

election law prohibits the sale or use of information copied from reports for the purpose of soliciting contributions from individuals or for any

commercial purpose. 2 U.S.C. S438(a)(4).

The Commission asks the court to assess

penalties. and to permanently enjoin the defendants from future violations of section 438(a)(4).
