Lobbyists Spend $42 Million in 1984
Lobbyists spent 42 million dollars to influence Congress in 1984, a slight drop from 1983 but still higher than total U.S. taxpayer salaries for senators and representatives. About 6,000 registered lobbyists were active, with quarter totals slipping to 8.5 million in late 1984 as Congress shut down for elections and post‑election prep. The fourth quarter marked the lowest three-month outlay in the 98th Congress’s two-year run.
