"Best Efforts" must be used to collect the FEC required information for every donor contributing more than $200 in a year . "Best Efforts" are defined as :
Best Efforts. When the treasurer of a political committee shows that best efforts have been used to obtain, maintain and submit the information required, the com-mittee shall be considered in compliance with the Act. With regard to reporting the identification of each person whose contribution(s) to the committee and its affiliated committees aggregate in excess of $200 in a calendar year, the treasurer will not be deemed to have exercised best efforts to obtain the required information unless he or she has made at least one effort per solicitation either by written request or by an oral request documented in writing to obtain the information from the contributor. The best effort shall consist of a clear request for the information (i.e., name, mailing address, occupation, name of employer) which informs the contributor that the reporting of the information is required by law.

Note , after collecting these extensive and tempting data bases on each donor , the FEC uses the opportunity to create yet another crime .
