The 1946 legislation referred to is the Federal Regulation of Lobbying Act, which sought to improve public disclosure of lobbying activities. It required lobbyists to register with Congress and report their activities and expenditures. While it did regulate lobbying, it did not prohibit or restrict it to only the legislative branch, nor did it create an agency to oversee lobbying.
