  That looks like Brookhaven National Lab.

    Nope. BNL is a ~30 minute drive from Islip. BNL is sandwiched between Ridge/Middle Island, Yaphank, and Shorham Wading River (10 minutes from where the aborted SWR nuclear power plant rests). BNL belongs to the township of Brookhaven. Meanwhile, Islip is the home of McCarthur Airport, a medium sized airport that serves the east end of Long Island.

      You are completely correct. I got Upton confused with Islip.

Maybe I've lost something in all the details, how is this list compiled? I was born in DC and grew up in the area, as such I know a lot of current federal employees who should be on a 2012 list. I grepped for a handful of names of folks I know personally and so far found only one. (For privacy reasons I will not share the names of non-matches here.) Update: Ok, I've found two now. Still many more non-matches than matches.

  The data is from this dataset: http://php.app.com/fed_employees11/search.php http://php.app.com/fed_employees11/search.php ...obtained by Asbury Park Press via a FOIA. It doesn’t include FBI, CIA, Defense Department, or IRS employees, or employees involved in security work, nuclear materials or national security matters.

    Judging by some of the names that are missing I am guessing congressional staff is also absent? And similarly, CBO? Edit: Just after your quoted part it says: > does not cover the White House, Congress, the Postal Service, and independent agencies and commissions.
