I believe that the executive order is dealing with preventing people from taking lobbying positions after they leave the employment of the government. This is dealing with bringing people on that have been lobbyists in the past. I could be wrong though. Regardless, I don't like the move. Maybe the dude really is the best one for the situation but I'm really not too happy about an overly cozy relationship between the DoD and private contractors.
