WASHINGTON (AP) – Royal Dutch Shell plc paid Covington & Burling LLP $100,000 to lobby the federal government in the first half of 2007, according to a recent disclosure form.
The firm lobbied Congress and the U.S. State Department to oppose economic sanctions against Shell, according to a form filed Aug. 14 by the Senate’s public records office.
The U.S. government has warned the Dutch energy giant that it could be subject to sanctions if it pursues a liquefied natural gas project with Iran. The Amsterdam-based company signed an exploratory agreement with Iran earlier this year.
Among Covington & Burling’s lobbyists who worked on Shell’s behalf were Alan Larson, a former under secretary of state at the U.S. State Department.
Under a federal law enacted in 1995, lobbyists are required to disclose activities that could influence members of the executive and legislative branches. They must register with Congress within 45 days of being hired or engaging in lobbying.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
