11. RELEVANT STATUTE: 2 U.S.C. §441a(f) ’ 2 U.S.C. §441b(a) 11 CFR 5 102.5(a)(l)(i)

111. BACKGROUND:

Receipt of Apparent Impermissible and Excessive Contributions from a National Party Committee

The .Hollywood Women’s Political Committee (“the Committee”) received four (4) apparent impermissible and excessive contributions totaling $304,129.71 fiom one. (1) National Party Committee during calendar year 1996. The receipts were reported on the 1996 October Quarterly, 1996 12 Day Pre-General, 1996 30 Day Post-General and 1996 Year End Reports.

On October 15, 1996, the Committee filed the 1996 October Quarterly Report which disclosed a receipt of $288,143 from the DNC Services Corporation Victory ‘96-Federal committee on September 9, 1996 (Attachment 2).

On December 18, 1996, a Request for Additional Information (“RFAI”) was sent to the Committee for the 1996 October Quarterly Report acknowledging the Committee’s receipt of an excessive contribution from a political party committee. The RFAI stated that the receipt of hnds was in violation of 2 U.S.C. §441a(f) and 11 CFR §llO.l(d) and that if the hnds were incompletely or incorrectly reported, an amendment to the original report should be submitted with HOLLWOOD WOMEN’S0.

clarifling information. If the contribution received exceeded the limits, the RFAI recommended that the Committee seek reattribution pursuant to 11 CFR 5 110. l(k), transfer-out the amount in excess of $5,000 to an account not used to influence federal elections, or refind the excessive amount to the donor in accordance with 11 CFR §103.3@) (Attachment 3).

On December 17, 1996, the Committee filed an amendment to its 1996 October Quarterly Report which moved the receipt of $288,143 fiom Schedule A supporting Line 11 (b), representing contributions received fiom political party committees, to Line 15, representing offsets to operating expenditures, and listed the purpose of receipt as “Event Reimbursement” (Attachment 4).

. On January 9, 1997, the Commission sent a Second Notice in response to the 1996 October Quarterly Amendment, asking the Committee to “clarifjr for the public record the circumstances related to’ this event reimbursement and please disclose the dates of disbursement for which your Committee is being reimbursed by DNC Services Corporation” (Attachment 5).

On February 10, 1997, the RAD analyst called Lydia, of Jules Glazer Business Management, the firm that handles the Committee’s filings, after being anable to contact the treasurer or the Committee directly. The analyst left a message for Lydia to please call the analyst regarding the Committee. On February 11, 1997, Ms. Kindee Durkee, of the same firm, returned the analyst’s call and indicated that Lydia was out of the office. The analyst told her that the Committee had not responded to the Commission’s RFAI. She said they would respond for the Committee right away (Attachment 6).

On February 13,1997, the Committee filed a response to the Second Notice which disclosed the amounts and dates of the reimbursements, and also included an itemized list of each vendor and payment made for the event. According to the Committee, total payments made on behalf of the DNC Services Corporation Victory ‘96-Federal were $31 1,961.85, of which $309,129.71 was reimbursed to the Committee. This response identified the event as “Presidential Event” and did not include any clarifling information (Attachment 7).

The 1996 12 Day Pre-General Report disclosed a receipt of $17,702.96 fiom the DNC Services Corporation Victory ‘96-Federal committee on October 9, 1996 as a receipt fkom a political party committee on Schedule A supporting Line 1l(b) (Attachment 8). An amendment filed on December 7, 1996, moved the receipt fiom Line 1l(b) to Line 15 representing offsets to operating expenditures, for “Event Reimbursement’’ (Attachment 9).

The 1996 30 Day Post-General Report disclosed a receipt of $1,265.00 fkom the DNC Services Corporation Victory ‘96-Federal committee on November 6, 1996’as an offset to operating expenditures for “Event Reimbursement” on Schedule A supporting Line 15 (Attachment 10).

The 1996 Year End Report disclosed a receipt of $2,018.75 from the DNC Services Corporation Victory ‘96-Federal committee on November 29, 1996 as an offset to operating expenditures for “Event Reimbursement” on Schedule A supporting Line 15 (Attachment 11).

An internal check was conducted by RAD to verify the source of the hnds fkom the DNC Services Corporation Victory ‘96-Federal committee. It was revealed on the reports filed by the DNC Services CorporationDemocratic National Committee (“DNC”) that payments were made to the Committee which were composed of allocated funds (federal and non-federal). Based on the allocation percentage provided by the DNC, it was determined that 50% of the hnds paid to the Committee were comprised of impermissible, non-federal money (Attachment 12).

On February 2 1, 1997, an RFAI was sent to the Committee referencing the 1996 October Quarterly, 1996 12 Day Pre-General, 1996 30 Day Post-General and 1996 Year End Reports. The RFAI asked the Committee to clarifL the purpose and nature of the event for which reimbursements were received fkom the DNC Services Corporation Victory ‘96-Federal. It also acknowledged the Committee’s receipt of funds prohibited by 11 CFR §102S(a)(l)(i) and recommended that the Committee return the portion of the fhds received from the DNC’s non-federal account and. inform the Commission of its corrective action immediately (Attachment 13).

On February 24, 1997, Lydia contacted the RAD analyst and stated that the Committee had already responded to the RFAI by providing the Commission with the vendor information on February 13, 1997. The analyst informed her that the Committee still needed to provide the Commission with a response to the letter sent on Febru,ary 21, 1997. She said they would respond soon (Attachment 14).

On April 11, 1997, Kindee Durkee, of Jules Glazer Business Management, responded to the RFAI and stated in her letter that it was the Committee’s understanding that the receipts were drawn fkom federally permissible finds. They requested additional time to research the issue (Attachment 15).

On May 30, 1997, the RAD analyst received a phone call fkom Ms. Beth Fountain, an attorney representing the Committee. She told the analyst that the ' HOLLYWOOD WOMEN'S.'T) POL1 CAL COMMITTEE REPORTS ANALYSIS OGC REFERRAL PAGE 4

Committee had agreed to sponsor a fhd-raiser for the DNC and had accepted the money thinking it was drawn fiom the federal account. The analyst encouraged Ms. Fountain to put this in writing in response to the Commission's RFAIs to avoid any further legal action. She demanded a verbal response fiom the analyst to confirm that this would be an adequate response, and the matter would not be pursued. The analyst again encouraged Ms. Fountain to respond in writing and told her the analyst does not render any decisions on behalf of the FEC. Ms. Fountain became very upset and began shouting in the phone that the analyst was not giving her the answer she wanted, and that she felt like the Commissiodanalyst was targeting the Committee specifically. In an attempt to diffuse the tone of the phone call, the analyst offered to have another analyst call Ms: Fountain back and speak to her regarding this matter. Ms. Fountain declined and hung up the phone (Attachment 16).

On June 4, 1997, the Commission received a response fiom Beth Fountain on behalf of the Committee. In her letter she stated that the Committee was acting as a vendor for the DNC fund-raiser and thought that the funds received into its account were drawn fiom the DNC's federal account. The letter included a copy of the vendor payments, fundraising literature and copies of the checks received fiom the DNC (Attachment 17).

To date, the Committee has not transferred-out any of the excessive or impermissible funds. tachment #1 ge 3 of 3 a. ELECTIOW (IOHIIISSIOII WE 22sEP97

COMMITTEE: HOLLYWOOD WOMEN’S POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (COO1 88979)

DATE: MAY 30,1997

CONTACT: BETH FOUNTAIN, ATTORNEY

Iwas contacted by a woman named Beth Fountain who said she was an attorney representing the Committee. She said that she wanted to discuss the letters Ihad sent to the Committee. She began by telling me that the Committee had agreed to sponsor a fund-raiser for the DNC because no one else would agree to do it. She told me that the Committee accepted funds from the DNC thinking that they were drawn on the Federal account. She said that the checks said Federal account on them when they were received by HWPC. I listened to what Ms. Fountain was saying and then told her that the Committee had not yet responded to any of the FEC requests for additional information. Iencouraged her to put all of the information she had just told me into writing and to send it in as soon as possible. She said that she was responding over the phone and wanted to know if what she told me would be acceptable. I told her again that we needed a written response from the Committee in order to determine whether or not the matter could be resolved adequately. .She became irritated and raised her voice and said she was responding and wanted me to tell her over the phone whether or not this would be an adequate response. Itold her that Iunderstood what she was saying but the Committee had to respond in writing and that Political Action Committees were responsible for making sure that the funds they were receiving into their account were’ permissible. She said “cite that now”! I told her I did not have that information in front of me but Iwould be happy to call her back or have someone else call her back with that information. She responded “So, what you are telling me is that we are in big trouble”. I responded with “Ma’am, Inever said that.” She said that was how she was interpreting what I had just said. Again, I said to her, “Ma’am I do not render any decision on behalf of the FEC or on this matter. Currently, the Committee could be referred to .our office of OGC for further legal action if the Committee does not respond soon. So, Iwould like to encourage you again to respond in writing to the letters we have sent and all of that information will be taken into consideration.” She started screaming into ttachment #16 *. e. age 2 of 2

the phone about the DNC and why the we weren’t going after them. Itold her that I could not discuss the DNC with her and she said “why not you referenced them all over you letter.” She then accused me of being on a “witch hunt and obviously having an ax to grind with this Committee.” Again I said Ma’am, your committee needs to respond in writing. She screamed at me and said that I had said that to her at least six times and she did not want to hear that from me again. She then launched into a tirade aimed personally at me full of 4 letter words about how she had tried her best to be nice and friendly to me, but Iwas “stonewalling” and refusing to cooperate and give her the information she wanted. She said that she speaks to the IRS all the time and they give her the information she wants with a lot less hassle. At this point Iasked her if I could please have someone else contact her to further discuss this matter. She said No, that was my suggestion not hers. She continued on her tirade while I sat silent on the phone. She stopped and said “Are you still there or are you going to hang up on me now?” I said “No,but do you have anymore questions?” She said “NO!” and then slammed down the phone.

I MEMORANDUM

TO: Jennifer K Wall, Reports Analyst

FROM: Beth Fountain

DATE: Junes, 1997 I

-RE: Hollvwood Women’s Political Committee (“HWPC”)-- Response to vour Februarv 21. 7997 Letter

Thank you for taking the time to speak with me last week. As I stated, ‘I am an attorney representing the HWPC. HWPC approached me two weeks ago regarding another legal matter. In the course of doing that work, I became aware of the.above referenced letter from you to HWPC. My telephone call to you was designed to let you know that I had just become aware of this issue and intended to respond on behalf of HWPC. As a point of information, the HWPC had been under the apparently incorrect impression that another attorney was in contact with you to attempt to resolve this matter.

Your letter states that transfers made by the DNC Services Corporation Victory ‘96 Federal to HWPC were ‘prohibited by 1 I CFR 102.5 (a)(l)(l),”

Please be informed that HWPC saw itself as little more than a vendor for the ‘Los Angeles National Presidential Gala* hefd on September 12, 1996. The enclosed itemized expense report reflects that all funds received by HWPC were spent for the production of the Gala. No funds were paid to candidates or campaigns, either federal or honfederal. -- -- -_ -- -

PHONE (703)276-71 71 FAX:(703) 276-81 85 0 [email protected] 97032070973 Attachment #17 0 Page 2 of 11 . I - *..

The CFR subsection you cite may well prohibit the DNC from making transfers from its nonfederal account to its federal account. However, HWPC was not aware of any such transfers and the HWPC reasonably relied upon the DNC's representations, via the checks it sent to HWPC, that the funds transferred to HWPC were exclusively federal funds. HWPC only maintains a federal account and woutd not have agreed to accept any funds that it knew were from mixed federal and nonfederai sources.

I hope this explanation and the attachments hereto are adequate to resolve the issue you raised in you February 21, 1997 letter. I will be out of the country for the next week, but would be happy to respond to any further questions or requests for information upon my return.
