                   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

            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 9036 for payment to each eligible 
                        candidate, and
                            (3) the amount of payments, if any, required 
                        from candidates under section 9038, and the 
                        reasons for each payment required.

            (b) Regulations, etc.
                The Commission is authorized to prescribe rules and

            examinations and audits required by section 9038(a)), to 
            conduct investigations, and to require the keeping and 
            submission of any books, records, and information, which it 
            determines to be necessary to carry out its responsibilities 
            under 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.
