Here is The Lobby Monitor's weekly roundup of stories.
This week, we published new registration stories related the chemistry industry and rail safety. We ran a story on Canadian companies and organizations lobbying in Washington, and published a Q&A with the C.I.A., a coalition of farmers, ranchers and Native Americans against the Keystone XL pipeline.
Don't forget to look at our weekly, sortable lists of new registrations and communications reports.
