Highlights
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Department of Defense's (DOD) implementation of prohibitions on post-government-employment activities by DOD personnel, focusing on: (1) the extent to which the law limited the employment of former DOD personnel by defense contractors; and (2) whether contractors were appropriately reporting employment of former DOD personnel.
