Clients and amounts

A lobbying report states the registrant's income from the client (a lobbying firm) or its own lobbying expenses (an organization lobbying for itself), for the whole quarter and every issue together. A report of less than $5,000, or of no lobbying activity, states no figure. It is not the amount spent on one bill.

Bills named, and how the House and the Senate voted

16 bills named in these reports. 3 of them became law, and our record holds how the House and the Senate voted on them. A lobbying report names the houses of Congress and the agencies the lobbyists contacted. It does not say which members or staff they met.

Issues named: Taxation/Internal Revenue Code (17), Defense (16), Trade (domestic/foreign) (16), Health Issues (13), Manufacturing (12), Energy/Nuclear (8), Transportation (7), Budget/Appropriations (6), Education (6), Environment/Superfund (6), Financial Institutions/Investments/Securities (5), Labor Issues/Antitrust/Workplace (5), and 32 mores.

Reports posted after the due date

The Lobbying Disclosure Act asks each registrant to file a report for each quarter no later than 20 days after the quarter ends (2 U.S.C. 1604(a)): by January 20, April 20, July 20 and October 20. We compare the date LDA.gov gives as the report's posting with the due date. When the 20th falls on a Saturday, a Sunday or the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, we count the next business day as the due date. An amendment to a report is not counted. A report posted after the due date is listed with the number of days after it.
