values for LobbyistGovPositionIndicator #6

Open boblannon opened 10 years ago

boblannon commented 10 years ago

What seems to be the source? What are the possible values? Why does it seem to be okay to have LobbyistCoveredGovPositionIndicator = "COVERED" while also reporting OfficialPosition="N/A"

eg:

<Filing ID="B0584458-99B9-4BDC-89B9-0C2098B0E28C" Year="2000" Received="2000-11-01T00:00:00" Amount="40000" Type="MID-YEAR REPORT" Period="Mid-Year (Jan 1 - Jun 30)">
