WASHINGTON (AP) - Defense contractor Lockheed Martin Corp. spent $3.78
million in the first quarter to lobby on funding for a range of Defense
Department and Homeland Security programs and other issues, according to a
disclosure form filed April 18.
The Bethesda, Md.-based company lobbied on funding for shipbuilding,
aircraft and helicopter programs, sensor systems and the Coast Guard's Deepwater
modernization project. It also lobbied on export control rules and legislation
to reauthorize the Federal Aviation Administration.
Among those registered to lobby for Lockheed are Scott Burnison, a former
Hill staffer who worked on the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy and
Water Devlopment and Kristine Fauser, a former aide to Sen. Susan Collins,
R-Maine.
Lockheed focused much its lobbying in the first half of the year on
Congress, the Defense Department, the Department of Homeland Security, NASA and
the Department of Transportation.
