2. Richard C. Blum of the Perini Corporation.
He is closely related to a longtime senator.

Contract totals

A British investigation into a controversial arms deal with Saudi Arabia was stopped because Riyadh threatened to withdraw all co-operation on security and intelligence, a newspaper has reported.

Saudi Arabia also threatened to downgrade its embassy in London to a consulate, in addition to its threat to withdraw from a 10-billion-pound deal to purchase 72 Eurofighters jets from British defence manufacturer BAE Systems, the Financial Times said Monday.
