The bill would require corporations, unions and nonprofit groups to disclose
their top five donors if they participate in political activity and to agree to
other disclosures in connection with expenditures prior to elections. The bill
and a similar measure in the Senate are aimed at countering a Supreme Court
ruling that unleashed unlimited political spending by corporations.

The NRA had threatened to muster its formidable lobbying power against the
legislation unless it was exempted from key donor disclosure requirements.
