OF TH BEFORE THE FEDERAL ELECTION COrMISSION 19JANIO All: 04 In the Matter of ) MUR 746 Win With Bradford Committee ) NF 127 General Counsel's Report Background On September 29, 1978, the Non-Filer Coordinator referred the Win With Bradford Committee (Committee) to the Office of General Counsel for failing to file its 10-Day Pre-Primary Election Report in a timely fashion, in violation of 2 U.S.C. S434(a)(1). The report was due on September 2, 1978. (Election held on September 12, 1978). The reason to believe notice was sent on September 4, 1978 and the reasonable cause to believe notice was sent on September 6, 1978. The Committee's name was published on a list, as a 10-Day Pre-Primary non-filer. On September 11, 1978, the 10 Day Pre-Primary Report of the Committee was received. Since Bradford received 45% of the vote, the Commission, on October 26, 1978, determined that compliance action should be taken and approved the General Counsel's proposed conciliation agreement. The agreement was sent on October 27, 1978, but was returned. A second letter was sent on November 29, 1978. On December 28, 1978, Office of General Counsel staff discussed the situation with Mr. Ray Fenster, of the Committee. Mr. Fenster -I -2- stated that although the Commission received the report late, it had been mailed on August 31, 1978. A clerk with the Office of Records and RegiStration of the House of Representatives indicated that the report had been postmarked on August 31, 1978, but had not been received until September 11, 1978. Analysis In light of the fact that the report was filed late because it took twelve days for the Postal Service to deliver it, it is recommended that the case be closed. Recommendation Close the file. General Counsel 0 FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION 1325 K SIREET N.W WASHINGTON, D.C. 20463 MEMORANDUM TO CHARIS STEELE FROM: MARJORIE W.
