Persistence is the key. If the IT staff at the government agency is ignoring you, keep informing them of flaws and exploits until they can no longer ignore you. As a side note, you mentioned doing your grad degree back in 1997. I am almost positive you would be better received by the government nowadays in reporting exploits. Their stance on IT security has done a complete 180 since the mid to late 90's.
