Legal history of the Presidential Election Campaign Fund Act available from the FEC

The FEC’s Law Library is making available case-bound copies of the Legal History of the Presidential Election Campaign Fund Act in two volumes. Compiled and printed by agency staff in 1984, these editions provide an exhaustive historical record of the bills, accompanying reports and floor debates from which the present law originated. The material is presented in chronological fashion, starting with the 1957 Gore Report, which examined the campaign contributions and expenditures during the 1956 federal elections. These volumes are available to the public free of charge. They can be obtained at the Federal Election Commission’s headquarters at 999 E Street NW, Washington, DC, 20463. To obtain a copy, please contact Leta Holley at lholley@fec.gov or (202) 694-1516.
