One tool allows for a detailed view of the interests — by "client," industry, and sub-industry — that each ex-lobbyist represented. The other enables the user to research in the opposite direction: selecting a “client” and identifying all of the ex-lobbyists employed in both the current or last Congress who have done that entity's bidding.
