Again, favoritism towards NSCP. I noticed that the lobbying bill of NSCP was not included. I am sure Reback, Dole, and Bork are available real cheap. Take the lobbying DOLLARS SPENT, not just the legal(?) donations made, and divide it by the annual revenues of the company. You will probably find that NSCP is breaking the bank in DC. You think they are spending more on lobbying than they are spending on R&D? <Three years ago, Microsoft, which is based in Redmond,Wash., had no lobbying office in Washington. Today, its lobbying bill runs to the millions -- $1.1 million in 1996 and $1.9 million in 1997, the most recent year for which data are available.> Considering thier recent problems, this is hardly a surprise.
