A preliminary review of the data by the ASBL and two third party experts has uncovered hundreds of dramatic and glaring discrepancies in the data, which indicate that Bush Administration officials manipulated the data to disguise the true volume of government small business contracts that actually wound up in the hands of Fortune 500 corporations and other large businesses.
