ECUADOR HIRES BKS&H
Burson-Marsteller's Black Kelly Scruggs and Healey lobbying wing has a $180,000 contract to provide strategic advice to the embattled Government of Ecuador.
The Nevada-size country bordering Peru and Colombia has been wracked by killer mudslides, environmental protests over a proposed pipeline and a rebellion by its native Indian people.
Ecuador lifted a "state of emergency" in February that was imposed following widespread protests to the Government's austerity plan.
The Government also worries about the U.S.-backed "Plan Colombia" war on drugs. It's concerned that the drug violence could spill onto its territory.
Foreign Minister Heinz Moeller said during a speech in Washington, D.C., earlier this year that Ecuador needs more military aid to defend its borders.
BKS&H is to make sure that Washington decision-makers have a "better understanding of the issues facing the Government of Ecuador," according to the firm's Justice Dept. filing.
BKS&H also will work to increase trade and financial aid.
