Street NW Washington, D.C. 20463 Re: Executive Committee of the Reform Party of the United States as the National Committee of a Political Party Dear Mr. Marinelli, The Reform Party of the United States of America ("Reform Party, USA'*) requests an advisory opinion seeking Commission recognition of its Executive Committee as the national committee of a political party. It also requests the Commission recognize each state Reform Party as a state committee of a political party. The Reform Party, USA, can trace its origins to 1992 and the activities of most constituent state parties to a period beginning September, 1995, when in response to numerous long-standing requests from third-party advocates, efforts to establish a new national political party began. To this end, registration and petition drives and organizing efforts were conducted in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The resulting parties, together with philosophically aligned pre-existing state political parties, joined together with Reform Party members from across the country in Long Beach, California and Valley Forge, Pennsylvania to nominate a presidential and vice-presidential candidate for the 1996 general election. During the same year, Reform Parties in thirteen states obtained ballot access for candidates for other federal offices. Following the 1996 election, in which the Reform Parties presidential and vice- presidential candidates obtained 8.4% of the popular vote, the Reform Parties agreed to conduct a national meeting to further the process of party development.
