TITLE 26--INTERNAL REVENUE CODE
Chapter 95--PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION CAMPAIGN FUND
377 Sec. 9009. Reports to Congress; regulations
(a) Reports
The Commission shall, as soon as practicable after each
presidential election, submit a full report to the Senate
and House of Representatives setting forth--
(1) the qualified campaign expenses (shown
in such detail as the Commission determines
necessary) incurred by the candidates of each
political party and their authorized committees;
(2) the amounts certified by it under
section 9005 for payment to the eligible
candidates of each political party; and
(3) the amount of payments, if any, required
from such candidates under section 9007, and the
reasons for each payment required.
Each report submitted pursuant to this section shall be
printed as a Senate document.
(b) Regulations, etc.
The Commission is authorized to prescribe such rules and
regulations in accordance with the provisions of subsection
(c), to conduct such examinations and audits (in addition to
the examinations and audits required by section 9007(a)), to
conduct such investigations, and to require the keeping and
submission of such books, records, and information, as it
deems necessary to carry out the functions and duties
imposed on it by this chapter.
(c) Review of regulations
(1) The Commission, before prescribing any rule or
regulation under subsection (b), shall transmit a statement
with respect to such rule or regulation to the Senate and to
the House of Representatives, in accordance with the
provisions of this subsection. Such statement shall set
forth the proposed rule or regulation and shall contain a
detailed explanation and justification of such rule or
regulation.
(2) If either such House does not, through appropriate
action, disapprove the proposed rule or regulation set forth
in such statement no later than 30 legislative days after
receipt of such statement, then the Commission may prescribe
such rule or regulation. Whenever a committee of the House
of Representatives reports any resolution relating to any
such rule or regulation, it is at any time thereafter in
order (even though a previous motion to the same effect has
been disagreed to) to move to proceed to the consideration
of the resolution. The motion is highly privileged and is
not debatable. An amendment to the motion is not in order,
and it is not in order to move to reconsider the vote by
which the motion is agreed to or disagreed to. The
Commission may not prescribe any rule or regulation which is
disapproved by either such House under this paragraph.

(3) For purposes of this subsection, the term
``legislative days'' does not include any calendar day on
which both Houses of the Congress are not in session.
(4) For purposes of this subsection, the term ``rule or
regulation'' means a provision or series of interrelated
provisions stating a single separable rule of law. (Added
