Government ends oversight of Gallup

Federal government oversight of The Gallup Organization, put in place as the consulting and polling company looked to settle allegations that it conducted business unethically, has ended early after a government official said he views Gallup as a responsible company.

DHS logoGallup entered a three-year agreement on April 19, 2013 with the Department of Homeland Security ahead of a July 2013 settlement of a whistleblower lawsuit.

On Oct. 9, 2014, less than halfway through the three-year term, the government granted Clifton’s request for an early termination of the agreement, according to a letter recently released to The World-Herald by the Federal Emergency Management Agency following a public records request. The request was made in August 2014.

“I believe that the measures you have implemented has set Gallup on a course that will make it a model company, and that the Government can view Gallup as a responsible company regarding contracts and contracts under federal grants,” wrote Michael D. Russell, senior counselor to the Homeland Security Department’s Under Secretary for Management, in the letter to Clifton.
