(ACS CAN) asked candidates in 21 federal and 37 state races to respond to nonpartisan questionnaires. The state questionnaires varied by state, but the federal questionnaire focused on five key issue areas: cancer research funding, access to care, prevention, palliative care, and the tobacco tax. ACS CAN published the responses on its website, and in some cases also printed copies to be distributed offline in local communities. ACS CAN also sponsored a handful of nonpartisan candidate forums in Delaware, Colorado, and Montana. Finally, in California, ACS CAN asked state candidates to pledge not to accept tobacco funds for their campaigns. 573092 187896 385196 465453 170938 294515 679711 DUE FROM AFFILIATES 2968346 OTHER DEPOSITS 141058 OTHER RECEIVABLES 9322 3118726 0 DUE TO AFFILIATES 262455 262455 35604365 0 211878 211878 35392487 35392487 35742505 208452 208452 35534053 35534053 X X X X X true MERKLE INC 7001 COLUMBIA GATEWAY DRIVE COLUMBIA MD 20146 RNWL MAIL EVENT false 49075 63494 -14419 MLH STRATEGIES 3027 N STREET NW WASHINGTON DC 20007 LOBBY DAY MBRSHP PROG false 0 30000 -30000 49075 93494 -44419 AL AK AZ AR CA CO CT DE DC FL GA HI ID IL IN IA KS KY LA ME MD MA MI MN MS MO MT NE NV NH NJ NM NY NC ND OH OK OR PA PR RI SC SD TN TX UT VT VA WA WV WI WY RESEARCH BREAKF 444604 405069 39535 0 0 11004 18532 1008 8991 LIGHTS OF HOPE 154871 154213 658 0 0 225 0 175 258 63 1173990 1003727 170263 0 360 13335 84156 4113 68299 1773465 1563009 210456 0 360 24564 102688 5296 77548 210456 true NATIONAL BLACK CAUCUS OF STATE LEGISLATORS 444 N CAPITOL ST NW SUITE 622 WASHINGTON DC 20001 521218832 501(C)3 12000 SPNSRSHP-ROUNDTABLE & CONFERENCE AMERICANS FOR NONSMOKERS RIGHTS 2530 SAN PABLO AVENUE SUITE J BERKLEY CA 94702 942598713 501(C)4 62500 MAINTENANCE RESEARCH AMERICA 1101 KING STREET SUITE 520 ALEXANDRIA VA 22314 521609875 501(C)3 7500 SPNSRSHP-ASK YOUR PUBLIC HEALTH LAW CENTER INC 875 SUMMIT AVE ST PAUL MN 55105 411896367 501(C)3 50000 LGL SPRT FOR TOBACCO CAMPAIGNS CENTER FOR PRACTICAL BIOETHICS 1111 MAIN SUITE 500 KANSAS CITY MO 64105 480985815 501(C)3 10000 SPNSRSHP-NAT'L PAIN STRATEGY ROLL-OUT MEETING COMMUNITY CATALYST INC ONE FEDERAL STREET BOSTON MA 021102102 043355127 501(C)3 10000 ACA MESSAGING FOCUS GROUP 5 1 SCHEDULE I, PART I, LINE 2 DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION'S PROCEDURES FOR MONITORING THE USE OF GRANTS THE GRANT AGREEMENT REQUIRES NARRATIVE AND FINANCIAL REPORTS TO BE FURNISHED BY GRANTEE TO ACS CAN WITHIN 60 DAYS OF THE COMPLETION OF GRANTEE'S AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

SCHEDULE J, PART II, COLUMN C Schedule J, Part II, Column C includes deferred compensation related to the annual change in actuarial value of a qualified defined benefit retirement plan and a non-qualified supplemental executive retirement plan. The changes are caused by several factors, including additional years of service, changes in base salary, and changes in actuarial assumptions, which are required to be used to value the benefits. A significant decrease in interest rates and an increase in the life expectancy of participants resulted in a large increase in estimated value of benefits from the prior year. Prior to actual retirement, these actuarial (estimated) values can increase or decrease from year to year depending whether certain assumptions increase or decrease. X MISC.
