"In a maneuver certain to further infuriate its critics, Microsoft on
Thursday admitted that it had indeed communicated with members of Congress
about its antitrust case. The company previously had filed a legal brief that
disclosed no lobbying activity whatsoever in connection with the antitrust
case against it."

"The Tunney Act requires defendants in antitrust cases such as Microsoft's to
disclose ``any and all written or oral communications'' with ``any officer or
employee of the United States'' related to the settlement."
