REPORTS


YEAR-END REPORT DUE
   All political committees currently reg-
istered with the Commission must file a
year-end report by January 31, 1982, regard-
less of their level of financial activity or
whether they supported candidates in the
1981 special elections. (This requirement ap-
plies, for example, to all registered commit-
tees with outstanding debts from former
campaigns.)

The year-end report must include all report-
able transactions occurring since the last full
report filed or (if the committee is new) from
the date of registration through December
31, 1981. Complete reports must also include
appropriate schedules (e.g., Schedule A for
itemized receipts, Schedule B for itemized
disbursements, Schedule C for outstanding
loans and Schedule D for outstanding debts
and obligations).

Note: Monthly filers must file a year-end
report covering activity from the last month-
ly report through December 31, 1981. For
example, if a committee filed a November
monthly report, the year-end report would
cover all activity from December 1 through
December 31, 1981.

Committees that do not intend to receive
contributions or make expenditures, and that
have no outstanding debts, may be eligible to
terminate. For details on termination, see
the 800 Line, p. 3 of the May 1981 Record,
or contact the Office of Public Communica-
tions (see below).

SPENDING LIMITS FOR PARTY
COMMITTEES IN CONNECTICUT
SPECIAL ELECTION
   National and state party committees may
make limited, coordinated expenditures on
behalf of their Congressional candidates in
the Connecticut special general election,
which will be held on January 12. 2 U.S.C.
§441a(d). The national committee of a party
may make expenditures of up to $18,320 in
support of its candidate. In addition, the
candidate's state party committee, together
with any subordinate party committees (e.g.,
county, district and local), may make com-
bined coordinated party expenditures that are
subject to a single limit of $18,320.

The limit on party spending for candidates
for the U.S. House of Representatives is
equal to $10,000, plus the 1981 increase in
the Consumer Price Index (CPI). 2 U.S.C.
§§441a(c) and (d)(3)(B). Since the annual CPI
figures for 1981 will not be available before
the Connecticut special general election, the
Commission has calculated an $18,320 limit
based on the CPI for the first ten months of
1981. The Commission will issue an additional
notice when it receives the annual CPI
increase certified by the Secretary of Labor.

Special coordinated party expenditures count
neither as contributions to a candidate nor as
