I don't believe I have seen it, no. I gather from the other comments it 
contains language about grant recipients complying with US law. Without 
a more thorough review, I'm not in a position to say how necessary such 
language is or how extensively it would be interpreted with respect to a 
chapter's overall activities. However, it doesn't change my point that 
nonprofits can in fact engage in lobbying under US law.
