Terms in this set (58)

Meeting privately with public officials. Although they are acting on behalf of their clients, lobbyists often furnish needed information to senators and representatives (and government agency appointees). It is to the lobbyists' advantage to provide useful information so that the policymakers will rely on them in the future, testifying before congressional committees for or against proposed legislation, testifying before executive rulemaking agencies—such as the Federal Trade Commission or the Consumer Product Safety Commission—for or against proposed rules, assisting legislators or bureaucrats in drafting legislation or prospective regulations. Especially at the state level, lobbying firms have been known to write up the complete text of a bill, which is then passed by the legislature, inviting legislators to social occasions, such as cocktail parties, boating expeditions, and other events, including conferences at exotic locations, providing political information to legislators and other government officials. Sometimes, the lobbyists have better information than the party leadership about how other legislators are going to vote, suggesting nominations for federal appointments to the executive and judicial branches.
