inspectors arrive to syria to investigate the use of chemical weapons in fact raytheon saw it shared jump to seventy seven dollars and ninety three cents which marked the highest price for its stock in the last fifteen years but it seems what goes up must come down because as soon as discussion of congressional opposition to the strike began raytheon's stock began to slip back down perhaps making it clear which side the defense industry is on in the syria debate. and today the justice department is set to release new n.s.a. related documents they were previously secret decisions of the foreign intelligence surveillance court however the information is finally going to be released today after a long running for your requests submitted by the a.c.l.u. and the electronic frontier foundation the civil liberties organizations had been seeking to learn just how the government has been interpreting one controversial provision of the patriot act that's thought to be responsible for justifying the n.s.a. spying of ordinary americans and as more details emerge over the government surveillance

the missle is made by raytheon and was used in the strike on libya in 2011. despite threats of defense budget cuts-- in the second quarter-- raytheon reportedly had an increased net of $32 million dollars on sales of the tomahawk. the guided missiles are reported to be worth $1.45 million dollars each. the white house has ordered 196 tomahawks for fiscal 2013. ratheon shares are up more than $10 dollars in the past couple of months and have nearly doubled in the past 3 years. the short answer is, no. not yet. but five years after the september and october 2008 economic free fall, our cover story takes a look at how far we've come since that bleak time. five years ago, the federal government took over fannie mae and freddie mac. a week later, lehman brothers collapsed. and unemployment was sliding downhill six times faster than its been improving and got worse for another year. so how are we doing now? "we had eight million jobs lost and six million have come back in basically four years." the truth, rosemany haefner says, is those two million jobs may never c

. >> what you have is a lot of these contractors, and names you would recognize, bowing, raytheon, whos not only receiving a heck of a lot more money than they used to, but also spending more than they used to when it comes to trying to influence government. some of them get 80, 90% of their income from the federal government, so it benefits them to invest in lobbying the government. so there's definitely a give and a take here, and a very close relationship that is a financial one through and through. >> as we look at those numbers and the names of those defense contractors, and you did rattle off the top ten, is it fair to an american public that wants an equal voice and seat at the table to compete against grumin, where say in syria, the american public is saying they don't want to get involved, and yet there are those who spend a lot of money each and every day lobbying those same members of congress. >> there is a built-in inherent advantage that defense contracts have when it comes to lobbying the federal government. you have a lot of these defense contractors, and companies in g

consider some of the aerospace and defense companies like lockheed martin, raytheon, general dynamics and 77% of their sales tied to the government, according to a goldman sachs research report. also in the last 12 months some of these names are up north of 30% so they do have a little bit of room to fall. i.t. another sector to watch. companies like harris corporation, motorola, a google company, and flur systems at 80, 69 and 54% of their systems tied to government spending. harris corp is up in the last months but it does leave downside potential. finally, health care another group to watch. the suppliers particularly exposed, edwards lifesciences, stryker. the providers, centene. molina and wellcare. many we're just looking at, the top three companies in each sector for the sake of brevity, but there's a long list of companies with this type of exposure to the government so it gives you a sense of how the dysfunction in washington could impact wall street, so we'll be watching. >> jackie, thanks so much for that. an important issue as we watch that clock tick down. >>> one ceo who
