EARLYBIRD

Wednesday, March 24, 2010 8:30 AM

From this morning's Earlybird:

Roll Call (subscription) reports on the errors in the lobbying disclosure forms of companies, unions and other groups a new report by CQ MoneyLine has found. The report shows that at least $338 million worth of lobbying during the last 12 years has been underreported.

• "Interest groups that spent the past year fighting over President Barack Obama's health-care overhaul are quickly transforming themselves for battle in a new arena, working to sway the law to their benefit while helping the lawmakers who supported them during the bruising legislative debate," the Washington Post reports.

• "Unions are likely to rescind their backing of labor-friendly lawmakers who voted against the healthcare bill and may support challengers," The Hill reports.

• "College students swarmed Capitol Hill on Tuesday to plead for more financial aid as private lenders made a last push to preserve their endangered role in making federal student loans," the Washington Post reports.
