     be reported under this Act, any person who makes payments 
     described in paragraph (2) in an aggregate amount or value in 
     excess of $250 during a calendar year shall report such 
     payments and the source of the funds used to make such 
     payments to the Commission in the same manner and under the 
     same terms and conditions as a political committee reporting 
     expenditures and contributions to the Commission under this 
     section, except that if such person makes such payments in an 
     aggregate amount or value of $1,000 or more after the 20th 
     day, but more than 24 hours, before any election, such person 
     shall report such information within 24 hours after such 
     payments are made.
       ``(2) A payment described in this paragraph is a payment 
     for any communication which is made during the 90-day period 
     ending on the date of an election and which mentions a 
     clearly identified candidate for election for Federal office 
     or the political party of such a candidate, or which contains 
     the likeness of such a candidate, other than a payment which 
     would be described in clause (i), (iii), or (v) of section 
     301(9)(B) if the payment were an expenditure under such 
     section.''.
