Today @ Noon ET - A New Era of Foreign Lobbying Transparency

Between U.S. government efforts and the work of outside researchers, the American public now has greater insights into the work of Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) registrants than ever before. The Quincy Institute’s just released brief, “Foreign Lobbying in the U.S.”, provides an overview of an extraordinary new tranche of FARA data the Department of Justice made publicly available earlier this year. At the same time, researchers at OpenSecrets have been providing the public with unfettered access to FARA spending data through their “Foreign Lobby Watch,” tool and Professors at Harvard’s Business School and the London Business School are in the midst of a completely unprecedented FARA research project that will ultimately make more than 50 years of FARA data publicly available for the first time.
