"Records Show Ex-Senator’s Work for Family Planning Unit "   [Rich Lowry]

Here:

Billing records show that former Senator Fred Thompson spent nearly 20 hours working as a lobbyist on behalf of a group seeking to ease restrictive federal rules on abortion counseling in the 1990s, even though he recently said he did not recall doing any work for the organization....

The billing records from Arent Fox show that Mr. Thompson, who charged about $250 an hour, spoke 22 times [!] with Judith DeSarno, who was then president of the family planning group. In addition, he lobbied “administration officials” for a total of 3.3 hours, the records show, although they do not specify which officials he met with or what was said.
