September 17, 1992

The Honorable Christopher Shays House of Representatives

Dear Mr. Shays:

This fact sheet transmits the information you requested on defense procurement fraud cases. The fact sheet contains information on cases the Department of Justice brought against the top 100 companies that received the largest Department of Defense contracts in 1991 that resulted in a criminal conviction or a civil settlement or judgment. You also asked about the extent to which the results of these cases were sealed from the public.

Your interest stemmed from a February 27, 1990, plea agreement between the Northrop Corporation and the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Central District of California in which part of the plea agreement was sealed from the public. In exchange for Northrop's guilty plea, the U.S. Attorney basically agreed to drop certain previous and/or then pending criminal investigations against the company in the Central District of California. Further, it was agreed that neither party would issue a press release or make any public statements regarding the U.S. Attorney's decision to decline prosecution in the pending investigations.

We obtained information on defense procurement fraud cases against the top 100 defense contractors that resulted in a criminal conviction or a civil settlement or judgment from October 1981 through June 1992. For each case, we obtained the (1) name of the contractor, (2) judicial district, (3) case type, (4) case disposition, (5) disposition date, and (6) amount of any monetary award to the government. We also obtained information on the Department of Justice's policy with regard to sealing the plea agreements and settlements of defense procurement fraud cases from the public.

RESULTS

From October 1981 through June 1992, there were 38 criminal convictions involving 28 of the top 100 defense contractors or their subsidiaries (see app. I). Defense

contractors pled guilty in 35 out of the 38 criminal convictions. In the other convictions, two contractors were found guilty at trial and the other pled no contest. The criminal fines ordered in these cases exceeded $167 million. Restitution was ordered in 12 cases and totaled over $64 million. Individuals associated with certain contractors were also charged and convicted.

During the same period, there were 92 civil defense procurement fraud cases involving 38 of the top 100 defense contractors or their subsidiaries (see app. II). Fifty eight of the civil cases were settled without litigation. Another 27 cases were settled after the case was filed in court and brought to trial. In three cases, the government had won at least one or more awards and was pursuing further relief. Finally, the government won several awards in four cases. The total amount awarded to the government in the 92 cases exceeded $631 million.

Justice officials told us that information on the number of plea agreements and settlements that were sealed in defense procurement fraud cases is not readily available. They said that the Department of Justice does not have, and views as unnecessary, a formal policy regarding the filing of plea agreements or civil settlements under seal. According to these officials, the Department rarely files criminal plea agreements and civil settlements under seal. They said that criminal plea agreements are only filed under seal to meet certain litigation needs (e.g., in organized crime cases to protect and safeguard confidential sources who are cooperating in continuing investigations). Further, they told us that in a civil qui tam action,l the initial complaint is made under seal for 60 days and can be extended at the government's request. However, the settlement is usually not sealed from the public.

OBJECTIVES, SCOPE, AND METHODOLOGY

To meet the objectives of your request, we obtained information on all criminal and civil defense procurement fraud cases handled by the Department of Justice that involved the top 100 defense contractors and their subsidiaries for fiscal year 1991 (see app. III). Once a contractor obtains top 100 status, the Department of Defense will always consider that enterprise a top 100 defense contractor.

We interviewed officials from the Department of Justice's Criminal and Civil Divisions and the Department of Defense's

'In a civil qui tam action, a private party brings suit in the name of the United States and is entitled to a portion of the proceeds if the prosecution is successful.

Office of the Assistant Inspector General. Since the Department of Justice could not identify all criminal defense procurement fraud cases in its management information system, we obtained information on criminal convictions of the top 100 defense contractors from the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Defense. In addition, we reviewed, when available, press releases issued by U.S. Attorney Offices on the criminal convictions. We obtained information on civil settlements from the Justice Department Civil Division's management information system. Generally, we did not independently verify the information provided.

We are sending copies of this fact sheet to the Attorney General; the Assistant Attorney General for the Civil and Criminal Divisions, Department of Justice; the Inspector General for the Department of Defense; and other interested parties. We will also make copies available to others upon request.

Major contributors to this fact sheet are listed in appendix IV. If you have any questions on the material provided, please contact me on (202) 566-0065.

Harold A. Valentine Associate Director, Administration
