WASHINGTON -- The Federal Election Commission has scheduled weekend
and extended hours for the Public Records Office to accommodate press and

From July 15 through July 23 the hours are:
April quarterly reports cover financial activity from April 1, 2004, through June 30, 2004. The reports are due by close of business Thursday, July 15, if sent regular mail or hand-delivered. If sent certified or registered mail, reports must be postmarked no later than midnight of the due date. Reports sent via express or priority mail or via overnight delivery service will also be considered timely filed if received by the delivery service by the filing date.

Senate campaigns file their reports with the Secretary of the Senate, who then forwards the reports to the FEC. All other committees file their reports with the FEC.
