Although Abramoff never directly donated to Mr. Reid, the lobbyist did instruct one tribe, the Coushattas, to send $5,000 to Mr. Reid's tax-exempt political group, the Searchlight Leadership Fund, in 2002. About the same time, Mr. Reid sent a letter to the Interior Department helpful to the tribe, records show.
    Abramoff sent a list to the tribe titled "Coushatta Requests," recommending donations to campaigns or groups for 50 lawmakers he said were helpful to the tribe. Alongside Mr. Reid's name, Abramoff wrote, "5,000 (Searchlight Leadership Fund) Senate Majority Whip."
