Example: https://www.fec.gov/campaign-finance-data/current-campaigns-house-and-senate-file-description/

It would be great to have a template csv file available for download on the page that includes the Column name headings as a single row, to make it easier for users looking to download the Bulk Downloads and then copy/paste them underneath the template.

FWIW there is also an emerging specification for providing a data dictionary http://frictionlessdata.io/specs/table-schema/ with an ecosystem of tooling already available.
