Corporate Congressional Action Committee    

(CorpCAC)

A proposal of the US Chambers of Commerce for member organisation to set up their own corporate-based pressure groups. They provided a manual on how to organize and how to operate such groups.

1975 October: - CorpCAC: How to Organize ... How to Operate.
    A CorpCAC ORGANIZATION KIT, containing the needed mailing list forms and other materials, may be requested from : the Legislative Department, Chamber of Commerce of the US, Washington DC.

CorpCAC is a variation on the Congressional Action Committee used successfully by chambers of commerce and trade associations for many years. When instituted by top management with a clear statement of purpose and importance, CorpCAC can effectively involve large numbers of managerial employees — and, if the company chooses, non-managerial employees as well. The CorpCAC can determine the impact of specific issues on the company — and generate the grass roots communications needed to help influence Congressional decisions.

    Quote:
    ...Representatives of every sector of American business must beging lobbying, not for the preservation of the free enterprise system; they must seek to preserve and strengthen the economic and governmental environment in which our economic system can best flourish . They must learn to spot legislation that promises to establish new patterns of federal regulation or control on any sector of American business . . . . They must try to block it by coordinating and mobilizing the vast resources represented by American business.
    [Senator James Buckley (Conservative NY) — brother of William F Buckley Jr]
