marco RUBIO US SENATE www.marcorubio.com SECRETARY OF THE SENATE 11 MAR -2 AM 11:32 February 24, 2011 Ms. Rebecca Hough Senior Campaign Finance Analyst Federal Election Commission 999 E Street, NW Washington, D.C. 20463 ID Number: C00458844 Reference: October Quarterly Report (08/05/2010 – 09/30/2010) Dear Ms. Hough: Our committee has concluded the research referenced in our initial response. Rather than wait for our next scheduled report to provide an update to the Commission we felt it was important to do so now. With respect to the excessive contributions, some of the contributions in question have already been refunded. Others have been reattributed to their spouses and, in these cases, these transactions have already been reported on subsequent reports. For the others in question, we are resolving them during this period and all of that activity will be reported on our Q1 report. We would like to emphasize that the vast majority of these contributions were excessive for the Primary 2010 election period due to the fact that routine redesignation documentation procedures were inadvertently omitted for a short timeframe during a vendor transition. Otherwise, most would have been redesignated to the General election presumptively, thereby negating any excessive situation. We feel this is an important point to make. Thank you for the opportunity to respond. Best, Marco Rubio for U.S. Senate 11020082719 Paid for by Marco Rubio for U.S. Senate, Inc.
