Government funds were used by the Naticnal Commission on the Observance of £nternational Woments Year to promote the ratification of he Fqual Rights Amen;ment to the Constitution .f the United States. Findings/Conclusions: In June 1,476, Public; Law 94-303 was approved, prohibiting the Commission frop lobby.Lng. Up until that time, the Commission's lobbying activities on behalf of the Equal Rights amendment were not illegal. The question of what lobbying activities are prohibited is belcre the Federal courts, which recently enjoined the Commission, during pendency of an appeal, from expending public funds for representations -o any legislators, State or Federal. For fiscal years 1975 and 1976, six Federal agencies, without proper legal authority, provided the Commission with $245,000. An additional $54,860 was provided by the Department of State under sufficient legal authority. Twelie employees corting about $298,974 were detailed to the Commission from nine Federal agencies. Only one of the staff assignments was improper. The activities of White House employees intended to promote the ratification of the amendment by the several States did not violate the antilobbying laws. (Author/SC)
