A Message From the Chairman
   The year 2001 promises to be a challenging one at the FEC, particularly
with respect to revised reporting regulations that become effective this year
and new programs for promoting compliance with the law.
   Mandatory electronic filing, election-cycle reporting for authorized
committees, revised reporting forms, and the recent expansion of state filing
waivers to Senate committees will make FEC disclosure more efficient and
more timely. Additionally, our expanded Web site provides more flexible
search options and makes the campaign finance data more accessible to the
public.
   Two new programs-the Administrative Fines Program and the Alterna-
tive Dispute Resolution Program-make our compliance process simpler and
more responsive to the needs of the regulated community.
   We welcome your questions and comments as we continue our efforts to
help the regulated community successfully comply with the Federal Election
Campaign Act. Please do not hesitate to call our 800 number (800/424-9530)
for assistance. In addition, you can obtain our publications and other materi-
als 24 hours a day through our Faxline, an automated fax-on-demand system
(202/501-3413). Many of our materials are also available on our Web site at
www.fec.gov.
   I look forward to meeting the challenges and opportunities presented to
this agency in the coming months.+
