CRASHING THE THIRD PARTY
What do the Council on Foreign Relations, American Enterprise Institute,
Center for Strategic and International Studies, Brookings Institution,
and
the Johns Hopkins School for Advanced International Studies have in
common? The Clark & Weinstock PR firm, which boasts of its "third party
alliance development," plans to reach out to these institutions on
behalf
of the United Arab Emirates. UAE is paying Clark & Weinstock $65,000
per
month "to promote a free trade agreement for the United Arab Emirates
with
the U.S." The firm is concerned that UAE "will face tough Congressional
scrutiny about its human rights record, effort to block terror group
financing and sponsorship of extreme elements," if trade hearings are
held.
