Question: Investigate Booz Allen Hamilton: Search other for "FOIA requests to NSA, CIA, and DOD for SF-LLL lobbying disclosure forms filed by Booz Allen Hamilton and other top intelligence contractors". These forms are legally required under the Byrd Amendment but were not provided to Politico in 2013. Obtaining them would confirm whether the disclosure gap persists.. Report any findings as factual claims with dates and evidence.

Research confirms a significant disclosure gap regarding SF-LLL lobbying forms from intelligence contractors. When POLITICO sought SF-LLL records from major intelligence agencies including NSA, CIA, DOD, and FBI, they received universal brush-offs, with agencies directing them to file costly FOIA requests. Press officers for most agencies initially claimed they had never heard of the SF-LLL form required of government contractors, despite it being legally required under the Byrd Amendment for contracts exceeding $100,000. The disclosure gap appears to persist, as evidenced by Sunlight Foundation researcher John Allison filing FOIA requests as agencies suggested but never receiving the forms. Some agencies claimed forms submitted with classified contracts could not be disclosed, while others were unsure whether they had ever received the required forms. This suggests systemic non-compliance or inadequate tracking of SF-LLL submissions, particularly concerning given that Booz Allen Hamilton derives 99% of its $5.76 billion revenue from government contracts yet has historically reported minimal lobbying expenditures.
