Lobbying rules lax as major groups dodge filings
The article notes loopholes in the 1946 Federal Regulation of Lobbying Act. It highlights that large Washington groups such as the U S Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Manufacturers report little or no lobbying spending while conducting legislative activity. Individual employees sometimes report as lobbyists without the organization doing so, with 1985 figures showing workers from labor unions and various associations spending tens of thousands of dollars.
