Clients: Victories

The C.L.A. Group has already satisfied client needs simply by helping them fulfill their individual goals through meetings with members of Congress and plentiful opportunities to voice support or opposition to legislation that affects the clients.

These are true measure of success.

Victories, however, are different than successes because they consist of actual instances in which the passage or blockage of legislative bills occurred. It is never an easy task to persuade members of Congress or state and local legislatures to change their course of thinking, but when it happens, victory is sweet for all!

In the following example, The C.L.A. Group's influential efforts led directly to a legislative victory on behalf of its clients.

The Truthfulness, Responsibility and Accountability in Contracting Act (H.R. 721) (S. 1152)
After many months of meeting with members of Congress about the impending passage of the TRAC act, The C.L.A. Group scored a victory on behalf of ACSM after an amendment introduced to the Department of Defense Authorization bill was defeated.

In June 2002, the amendment was defeated 50-49. This defeat directly supported the client's position. As a result, it eliminated the need for the Department of the Defense to compare government employee performance and contractor performance on activities before offering contracting opportunities to the private sector.
