Gov't Probes Software Company's Ties to U.S. House
Saturday, December 07, 2002

BOSTON — U.S. House officials have been asked to probe the relationship of that chamber with the software firm that was raided by federal officials late Thursday night for possible ties to terrorists and Usama bin Laden, congressional lawmakers told Fox News.

Rep. Bob Ney, R-Ohio, chairman of the House Administration Committee, told Fox that the House Inspector General has been asked to look into, and issue a report on the specifics of the relationship between the Quincy, Mass.-based Ptech company that provides critical software to major U.S. agencies and the House of Representatives.

Ptech's clients include the House, FBI, Internal Revenue Service, Energy Department, Federal Aviation Administration, U.S. Naval air systems, the U.S. Air Force, NATO, the Department of Energy and the agency that handles nuclear weapons security, according to its Web site.

The FBI, for example, has used Ptech's software for financial tracking and internal budgeting.

Ney said the House investigation is a "precautionary" measure and that he believes, based on just an initial review of the situation, that Ptech employees didn’t have access to any classified or sensitive House information.
