Re: AUT: Multilateral Agreement on Investment (MAI)

Hi.

Is there anyone in New York associated with the International Forum on
Globalization? What about similar groups?

Yes I did see the full page ad. And quite frankly I was surprised that it
was there. I used it in a class I'm teaching on Global Communications.

Any and all information about this campaign would be useful for me.
