Revised Guidance


November 2008

In light of the thousands of new filers and the significant new disclosures required by the Honest Leadership and Open Government Act, we are considering revising and providing additional guidance. Comments and suggestions should be directed to the Senate Office of Public Records and the House Legislative Resource Center in time for evaluation before the next reporting cycle.


July 16, 2008

In order to accommodate the thousands of new filers who are required to participate in the LD203 disclosure process, we have amended our guidance to provide some clarification and assist new filers in the completion of the LD203 form.


June 2008
LD-203 Contributions Reporting System

The Clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives and the Secretary of the U.S. Senate are pleased to announce the release of the LD-203 Contribution Reporting system, effective June 30, 2008.

The Honest Leadership and Open Government Act of 2007 requires lobbying registrants and individual lobbyists to file a semi-annual report of certain contributions, along with a certification that the filer understands the gift and travel rules of both the House and the Senate. These reports are due by July 30th (for the January through June reporting period) and by January 30th (for the July through December reporting period) or the next business day should either of those days fall on a weekend or holiday. Registrants, and each of their lobbyists, who were active for all or part of the semi-annual reporting period must file separate reports detailing certain FECA contributions, honorary contributions, presidential library contributions, and payments for event costs.

The Contribution Reporting system will provide access to a pre-populated contribution form for each filer. Access to this system is based on current LDA registrations and reports with the House and Senate. Each filer must sign into the system with a User ID and password. Based on the User ID, the filer will be able to update contact information, create a new filing for a reporting period, and file their form. All communications regarding filing and account status are automated and will be sent to the address on file for an account via email.

Registrants will use the same ID and password that are used to file other lobbying disclosure forms to sign into the system, and must verify the registered lobbyist name before an account can be created for each employee. When a lobbyist name has been verified by the employer, the lobbyist must create a unique password before access to the system is permitted.

Features of the new system and filing process include:

  • Automated retrieval of lobbyist ID numbers and passwords;
  • Pre-populated forms containing the appropriate ID numbers and names, as well as contact information, for each filer;
  • Filings that can be saved on the system and retrieved to append before filing or to amend after filing;
  • A streamlined process to file forms with the House and Senate with a single button to sign the form with your ID and password and submit it;
  • An online help manual and demonstrations accessible from each screen;
  • A system that works on Windows and Macintosh computers, requiring only a User ID and password to create and file forms.

To assist you, training is available on DVD (which will be mailed to each active registrant) and online from our Web sites. These tutorials will show you, step-by-step, how to use the new filing system. To provide ongoing support, a written User Manual, a Troubleshooting Guide and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) are also available from the Web site listed below.

Single Filing Location for House and Senate Filings

The Clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives and the Secretary of the Senate are pleased to advise you of the following new lobby report filing procedures resulting from the passage of the Honest Leadership and Open Government Act of 2007 (Public Law 110-81), which amends the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995.

These forms, version 5.0.1, may be used for the 2007 Year End filing period and are available on the Windows and Macintosh Forms and Software page.

Previously issued registration and reporting forms that use the digital signature will be accepted by the Secretary and the Clerk until March 15, 2008. After this date, you must use the new version 5.0.1 forms that file electronically at a single location with the Senate password.

We invite you to join the Lobbying Disclosure subscribers list, so that you are notified via email of future filing deadlines and pertinent information regarding Lobbying Disclosure Filing Procedures.

El «lobby» sanitario ha gastado en EE.UU. 375 millones

  • Bastaría para pagar el seguro médico de 30.000 familias durante un año
Causas y consecuencias del plan de Obama
¿Cómo afectará a las personas sin seguro?
Se verán obligadas a contratar uno. El gobierno ofrecería una asistencia que competiría con las aseguradoras privadas. El plan de la Cámara de Representantes daría cobertura a 36 de los 53 millones de personas que carecen de uno.
¿Cuánto costará el cambio de sistema?
1 billón de dólares costeados por la reducción del presupuesto de Medicare y Medicaid, que asisten a jubilados y a personas sin recursos, respectivamente.
¿Cuánto cuesta el sistema actual?
En 2007 la suma del gasto federal, estatal y privado en sanidad ascendió a 2,3 billones de dólares. Dos tercios de los cuales corresponden a los hogares estadounidenses.
¿Qué comunidades son las más afectadas?
El 35% de los hispanos y de los indios americanos no tienen ningún tipo de seguro. El 18% de los afroamericanos están desprotegidos, y el 12% de los blancos no tienen garantizada ninguna asistencia.
Cuando se acerca la esperada comparecencia de Barack Obama en el Capitolio para defender su proyecto de reforma de la Sanidad, han trascendido las cifras de lo que los lobbies de la industria llevan gastado para parar la reforma. Y ya asciende a la friolera de 375 millones de dólares, informa la CNN. Que también da cuenta de que con ese dinero se podría pagar el seguro médico de 30.000 familias durante un año.
La parte del león de todo este gasto se la llevan los lobbistas profesionales, es decir, profesionales de sembrar la alianza o la discordia al gusto del consumidor. A este esfuerzo se han dedicado 280 millones en la primera mitad de 2009.
Otros 75 millones fueron a anuncios televisivos: desde el pasado mes de junio se está gastando en esto alrededor de 1 millón de dólares al día. Las cifras son tan enormes en parte porque son muchos los sectores económicos que se sienten implicados y amenazados. Son muchos los frentes abiertos.
Entretanto siguen emergiendo detalles de la presunta propuesta de consenso cocinada en el Senado, y que aunque queda sensiblemente por debajo de las ambiciones de las tres que se barajan en la Cámara de Representantes, podría marcar a lápiz los puntos por donde hilvanar un compromiso. Se habla de gastar unos 900.000 millones en diez años.
El gobierno cuenta con que si su reforma sale más o menos adelante se podrá ahorrar en gastos de Medicare (servicio para los mayores de 65 años) y Medicaid (para los más pobres), de los cuales se podrían lanzar «paquetes de emergencia», ofertas de servicios básicos por ejemplo para personas sanas de menos de 25 años, que así quedarían a cubierto de «catástrofes».
En el otro plato de la balanza está la temida subida de impuestos, que el gobierno pretende que no sea general sino quirúrgica, dirigida a las rentas más altas y a la industria del sector. Lo cual lógicamente tiene partidarios y detractores.
El peor trago para los demócratas puede ser ver a Barack Obama renunciar a apostar por un seguro público, algo que el presidente mantiene como ideal de cabecera, pero que parece políticamente inconsensuable. Entonces, los teóricos progresistas -incluidos ex asesores de Bill Clinton- ya trabajan a destajo en la emulación de sistemas como el de Suecia, basados en un mercado privado de la salud, pero con el gobierno fijando mucho más cuidadosamente las reglas de juego, y corrigiendo las desigualdades a base de ayudas y subsidios.
