• Fiscal Year 2016 Defense Authorization and Appropriation Fiscal Year 2016 Intelligence Authorization and Appropriation Fiscal Year 2016 Classified Budget Annex for Defense and Intelligence Authorization and Appropriations

Duration: October 7, 2011 to January 1, 2016

General Issues: Defense

Spending: about $250,000 (But it's complicated. Here's why.)

It can be tricky to figure out how much an organization spent on a particular lobbying engagement. The law only requires lobbyists to report the amount they were paid for federal lobbying each quarter rounded to the nearest $10,000—and if it's less than $3,000 in a given quarter (or less than $13,000 for organizations with in-house lobbyists), they don't have to disclose it at all. Plus, some organizations include spending that doesn’t belong in the report—for instance, money spent lobbying state governments or other legal work.

Agencies lobbied since 2011: U.S. Senate, House of Representatives, Defense - Dept of (DOD), Air Force - Dept of, Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), Office of the Secretary of Defense, Natl Security Council (NSC), Natl Geospatial Intelligence Agency
