Lobbying: 732 filings cite this bill
Filings whose specific-issues text cites the bill, as the filers typed it ("H.R. 4776", "H.R.4776", "HR 4776", "H.R 4776"). 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.
