DeLay political committee's fund-raising eyed
FEC audit finds 'soft money' may have been misused

WASHINGTON -- A political committee founded by Representative Tom DeLay, the House majority leader, may have improperly spent unregulated ''soft money" on get-out-the-vote and fund-raising activities, the Federal Election Commission said. A DeLay attorney said yesterday the money has been reimbursed.
Americans for a Republican Majority Political Action Committee ''potentially" spent about $203,000 in soft money from its nonfederal account to pay for the political activities and administrative expenses, an FEC audit found.
The committee has federal and nonfederal accounts that shared certain expenses. The federal account could contain only money subject to federal contribution limits and from individuals and PACs, or hard money.
