The firm lobbied on issues dealing with terrorism risk and other forms of insurance, according to a disclosure form posted online Feb. 22 by the Senate's public records office. New York-based MetLife spent $160,000 in the second half of 2007 to lobby on those issues.

Among those lobbying on the company's behalf were: Allison Giles, former chief of staff to the House Ways and Means Committee; Kevin Kayes, former chief counsel for Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev. and Christopher McCannell, former chief of staff to Rep. Joseph Crowley, D-N.Y.
