The Federal Election Commission FEC is the independent regulatory agency charged with administering and enforcing the federal campaign finance law. The FEC has jurisdiction over the financing of campaigns for the U.S. House Senate Presidency and the Vice Presidency. In 1971 Congress consolidated its earlier reform efforts in the Federal Election Campaign Act instituting more stringent disclosure requirements for federal candidates political parties and political action committees PACs. Still without a central administrative authority the campaign finance laws were difficult to enforce. Following reports of serious financial abuses in the 1972 presidential campaign Congress amended the Federal Election Campaign Act in 1974 to set limits on contributions by individuals political parties and PACs. The 1974 amendments also established an independent agency the FEC. The FEC opened its doors in 1975. Not until 1974 following the documentation of campaign abuses in the 1972 Presidential elections did a consensus emerge to create an independent body to ensure compliance with the campaign finance laws. Comprehensive amendments to the FECA P.L. No. 93-443 established the Federal Election Commission an independent agency to assume the administrative functions previously divided between Congressional officers and GAO. The Commission was given jurisdiction in civil enforcement matters authority to write regulations and responsibility for monitoring compliance with the FECA. Additionally the amendments transferred from GAO to the Commission the function of serving as a national clearinghouse for information on the administration of elections. Under the 1974 amendments the President the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate each appointed two of the six voting Commissioners. The Secretary of the Senate and the Clerk of the House were designated nonvoting ex-officio Commissioners. The first Commissioners were sworn in on April 14 1975. The 1974 amendments also completed the system currently used for the public financing of Presidential elections. The amendments provided for partial Federal funding in the form of matching funds for Presidential primary candidates and also extended public funding to political parties to finance their Presidential nominating conventions. Complementing these provisions Congress also enacted strict limits on both contributions and expenditures. These limits applied to all candidates for Federal office and to political committees influencing Federal elections. Another amendment relaxed a 1939 prohibition on contributions from Federal government contractors. The FECA as amended now permitted corporations and unions with Federal contracts to establish and operate PACs. The Federal Election Commission hardcover

Still without a central administrative authority the campaign finance laws were difficult to enforce. FECA has been amended in 1976 after the Supreme Court struck down several provisions as unconstitutional in Buckley v. Valeo. Buckley v. Valeo 424 U.S. 1 1976 was a landmark decision of the US Supreme Court on campaign finance. A majority of justices held that as provided by section 608 of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 limits on election expenditures are unconstitutional. In a per curiam by the Court opinion they ruled that expenditure limits contravene the First Amendment provision on freedom of speech because a restriction on spending for political communication necessarily reduces the quantity of expression. It limited disclosure provisions and limited the Federal Election Commission's power. By some measures Buckley is the longest opinion ever issued by the Supreme Court.
