Lobbying: 91 filings cite this bill

Filings whose specific-issues text cites the bill, as the filers typed it ("H.R. 2189", "H.R.2189", "HR 2189"). The LDA does not disclose positions on a bill (support or oppose), so none appear here; a filing is attributed to a Congress by its filing year. Counts, never dollars. ‡ lobbying estimates

Money facing this bill

A giver's face is the list of subjects its organization lobbies Congress on, read from its own lobbying reports and spread by how often each subject comes up; a gift from someone who works there is spread the same way.
