I have enclosed the findings relevant to L3 Technologies 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 L3 Technologies. POGO is also interested in any related ethics opinions issued for current or former L3 Technologies 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).
