What was lobbied

2 issue areas, each in the filer's own words, with who lobbied on it and where.

Education EDU

We met with the Department of Veterans Affairs about the public-interest value of the Design-Build project delivery method. More specifically, we discussed the overall value in providing Design-Build education to the VA's project managers (for facilities) nationwide.

Defense DEF

The issue was with regard to Defense procurement (Senate and House FY 2011 Defense Authorization Bills) in that cost should not be the determining factor on big-ticket items such as the design and construction of facilities (best value overall to DOD in the long run is in the public interest).
