Too Big to Debar? The Government's Reluctance to Crack Down on Contractors that Bribe Foreign Officials

Summary: A recent law review article poses a question that POGO and others have been asking: Have the top federal contractors become "too big to debar"? The article, written by South Texas College of Law professor Drury Stevenson and third-year student Nicholas Wagoner, looks at the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and how it is being enforced against federal contractors caught bribing foreign government officials. For this podcast, POGO staffers Bryan Rahija and Neil Gordon speak with Wagoner and Professor Stevenson to find out how this lack of strong enforcement hurts taxpayers' interests.
