"The Center for Competitive Politics responded to passage today of Representative Tom Cole's (R - OK) amendment to H.R. 1540, which bans executive agencies from collecting information regarding the private donations of citizens and companies to trade associations and social welfare groups. The amendment was offered in response to a proposed Executive Order that would compel government contractors to reveal this information when sending in proposals.
'This is a strong rebuke to the executive branch's effort to bring politics into the federal contracting process and enable the creation of a Nixon-style Enemies List,' said CCP President Sean Parnell. "
