Summary

Independent Expenditure Clarification Act of 1989 - Amends the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to exclude from the term "independent expenditure" an expenditure made by a person who: (1) engages in fundraising or makes expenditures on behalf of a candidate; (2) serves as an officer of an authorized committee of a candidate; (3) receives compensation or reimbursement from a candidate; (4) communicates with a candidate about the candidate's plans or needs; (5) uses professional campaign services provided by a person who also provides professional campaign services to a candidate; or (6) communicates with a political committee of a party about a candidate's needs or plans, if such committee has made certain contributions or expenditures to the candidate. Excludes an expenditure if such person makes the expenditure because of information furnished by a candidate about his plans or needs and if at the time the candidate furnishes the information, he knows that such person intends to make the expenditure based on the information. Requires an advertisement on a television station or in a newspaper, magazine, billboard, mass mail, or other general public advertisement that is an independent expenditure to contain specified statements identifying it as an independent expenditure.
