How to read this
- Covers the 100 largest federal contractors only, matched to lobbying clients and PACs by name: possible matches, not confirmed links. Years are calendar years.
- Lobbying Disclosure Act reports (lda.gov): a company's own in-house lobbying costs, or fees paid to outside firms; when a company reports in-house, outside firms' fees for that quarter are left out (they're included in its report). Years are the reports' calendar years (quarters Jan-Mar ... Oct-Dec), not federal fiscal years.
