Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the number of organizations and individuals registered at any time during calendar year 1995 under the Federal Regulation of Lobbying Act of 1946 and registered or identified at any time during calendar year 1996 under the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995, focusing on the number of organizations and individuals that: (1) were registered under the 1995 act but not under the 1946 act; or (2) were registered under the 1946 act but not under the 1995 act.
