WASHINGTON --Casino giant Harrah's Entertainment Inc. paid U.S. Strategies Corp. $100,000 in the first half of 2007 to lobby the federal government, according to a disclosure form.
The firm lobbied Congress on issues related to Internet gambling and a bill to provide tax credits for companies who offer employees anti-smoking and wellness programs, according to the form posted online Aug. 6 by the Senate's public records office.
Under a federal law enacted in 1995, lobbyists are required to disclose activities that could influence members of the executive and legislative branches. They must register with Congress within 45 days of being hired or engaging in lobbying.
