June 15, 2016 Cruz for President P.O. Box 25376 Houston, TX 77265 Ms. Carolina Mongeon Senior Campaign Finance Analyst Reports Analysis Division Federal Election Commission 999 E Street NW Washington, DC 20463 Dear Ms. Mongeon: Cruz for President (FEC ID# C00574624) is in receipt of your Request for Additional Information dated May 11, 2016, regarding the Committee’s April Monthly Report (03/01/2016 – 03/31/2016). 1. The Commission has requested clarification on Schedule A of our report from individuals who have mailing addresses outside of the United States. In accordance with the safe harbor guidelines outlined in 11 CFR 110.20(a)(7), the Committee has safeguards in place to ensure that the contributions are not made by foreign nationals. When the Committee receives a contribution from a donor with a foreign address, it sends a follow up letter via regular mail or via email requesting that the donor verify they are a U.S. Citizen and affirming that they are not prohibited from contributing. If the committee has any information indicating the contribution is impermissible, a refund is issued within 30 days of the committee making this determination. Foreign verification letters have been sent to the following donors. Lara Korhammer – Committee is awaiting letter to be returned James Talich – Committee is awaiting letter to be returned Henryk K. Zaleski – Letter returned on 5/13/2016, funds permissible 2. The Commission has identified a contribution from Cross Cuts, Ltd. as an apparently prohibited contribution from a corporation and/or labor organization. Cross Cuts, Ltd. was sent a letter requesting verification that the contribution did not come from a prohibited source. This letter was returned on 04/06/2016 affirming that Cross Cuts, Ltd. is a partnership eligible to make such a contribution. 3. The Commission has identified a contribution from Fenner Technical Services, LLC as appearing to be from a limited liability corporation. Fenner Technical Services, LLC was sent a letter requesting verification that this LLC is treated as a partnership for tax purposes, and has not elected to be treated as a corporation by the IRS in accordance with 11 CFR 110.1(g). This letter was returned on 04/06/2016 affirming that Fenner Technical Services, LLC is such an LLC. 4. The Commission lists contributions from committees and individuals that appear to exceed the limits set forth in the Act. The contributions from individuals are addressed below. The contribution from Club for Growth PAC was mistakenly recorded as a contribution from that committee; this was an earmarked contribution for which Club for Growth PAC was a conduit. We have amended our report to correct this error. 5. The Commission notes that our report discloses refunds for undisclosed contributions. The refund to David Orth has been amended to correct the contributor name to his spouse, Rosemary Orth. The refund to Targeted Victory is a payment we made to a vendor that issued refunds back to contributors on the committee’s behalf. We have included memo details to show the contributors for refunds that exceed the itemization threshold. The following donors’ contribution records have been reviewed and the excess portions of their contribution were reattributed to a spouse. These reattributions took place in April 2016 and have been reported accordingly in the M5 2016 report. Rosalyn R. Amann Diann M. Barker Matthew Bradvica Farel J. Byrd Thomas C.
