In this appeal concerning the Federal Election Campaign Act, the Supreme Court denied an application for a preliminary injunction that would have blocked certification of federal payments to finance presidential campaign activities and nominating conventions pending the Court's final decision on the merits of the case. The denial reflected the Court's view that the applicants had not established sufficient grounds for extraordinary relief while the underlying constitutional and statutory challenges to the campaign finance provisions remained pending.
