An extensive and cooperative effort was initiated and directed by officials of the Air Force and the Office of the Secretary of Defense, with the Lockheed Corporation and several other Defense and non-Defense firms, for the purpose of influencing members of the Congress on the proposed $10 billion procurement of 50 C-5B aircraft, then under consideration by the Congress. Air Force and OSD officials have violated Federal antilobbying laws by expending appropriated funds in the aiding and supporting of contractors to perform lobbying activities. Also, reimbursement to these contractors for portions of their lobbying costs as overhead expenses incident to current year Government cost-type contracts is prohibited by section 607(a). (Author)
