Dear General Counsel of CACI International:
The Project On Government Oversight (POGO) is creating a Department of Defense Revolving
Door Database on its website (pogo.org), which compiles information from public resources
regarding former senior Department of Defense officials and military officers who went on to
work for government contractors, including CACI International, from 2008 to the present. The
database is an attempt to track individuals when they leave the Department of Defense, and
inclusion in the database doesn’t represent anything illegal or a violation of ethics rules. I have
enclosed the findings relevant to CACI International and am requesting verification or refutation
of the data from you.
Any response would be greatly appreciated, as the accuracy of this information is in the best
interest of all parties. When a precise start date was not publicly available POGO chose the first
day of the month the employee said they began working for CACI International. POGO is also
interested in any related ethics opinions issued for current or former CACI International
personnel in compliance with the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008,
Public Law 110-181, Sec. 847 and certifications of compliance as required by Defense Federal
Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) subpart 252.203-7005; 41 U.S.C. § 2105(c). Out
of fairness to CACI International, please be assured that any response received by POGO will be
posted on the website along with the data if you so choose.
If you have any questions, I can be reached at (202) 347-1122 or msmithberger@pogo.org.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Mandy Smithberger
Director, Center for Defense Information
