 Dear Mr. Chairman:

      As you requested, we have assessed the paperwork burden
 of S. 2160, which requires public disclosure of certain lobby-
 ing activities to influence issues before the Congress. Also,
 we have assessed S. 1782, a lobbying disclosure measure spon-
 sored by/Senators Mathias, Muskie, and Pryor.1 Senator Pryor
 asked us to conduct such an analysis during hearings held
 before the Committee on September 25, 1979.

      We analyzed the paperwork burden on respondents for use
 by the Committee during its deliberations and markup of the
 bills and to help the Committee prepare a regulatory impact
 statement required by Senate Rule 27.6 on the bill that is
 reported.
