Up to 70% of former Defense Department employees who go to work for defense contractors fail to report their new employment as required by law, the General Accounting Office said. The investigative arm of Congress said it identified 6,844 persons who probably should have reported being employed by defense contractors in fiscal 1983 but who did not do so. The reporting requirement was imposed by Congress in an attempt to learn the dimensions of the so-called revolving door between the Pentagon and the defense industry.
