ARCHIVE: Albanian American PAC Contributions to Candidates, 1980-2000

Other information is available at the FEC site: http://www.fec.gov/;

The current file contains information dating from 1988-2000, but as archivists explore, more information will be added, going further back in time, as it is necessary to test campaign records back to 1976, while website archives date back to 1980.

The file also contains the names and addresses of 24 Congressmen who formed the Albanian Issues Caucus in the 1997-1999 Session. Caucus member Charles Schumer has since been elected to the US Senate. This file is posted by an Albanian American website "frosina" in Boston. See:

Readers are encouraged to contribute to this and other archives.
