No Contractor and Lobbyist Database Created

A database disclosing how much federal contractors spend on lobbying and their success at completing contracts has not been created, despite steps towards greater transparency. Obama's Memorandum on Transparency and Open Government directs the federal agencies to post more information online, and Recovery.gov was launched to track stimulus bill funding. These first steps, however, have not yet resulted in the promised database.

Stalled No action at the moment.

Ethics Agenda Section Disappears

The page on WhiteHouse.gov detailing Obama's ethics pledges, including this one, was replaced with a message telling readers to "please check back soon" for updates related to the president's executive order placing limits on lobbyist activity.
