It was a half-day briefing on these new developments and what information, strategies, and techniques executives need to address them. There were discussions and presentations with leading experts in corporate governance, law, public policy, strategic communications, and investor relations.

Issue Overview

The regulatory reach of Washington is pulling together a qualitatively different kind of economy for America. The alphabet agencies – from the FCC to the FTC – are fighting with gusto and attacking with new and complex regulatory issues.

The SEC is preparing new access-to-the-proxy rules while legislators propose rules on “say-on-pay,” additional powers for financial regulators, as well as new legislative proposals on corporate governance and non-shareholder rights. The EPA is reversing judgments, thereby initiating sweeping reviews of scientific issues believed long settled.

At the individual company level, activists, unions, and special interest groups are skillfully using new technologies to drive their narrow agendas, affect board voting, and disrupt annual meetings.

A global energy firm was confronted with a major financial problem when its foreign partners refused to give it timely access to its share of cash returns.  Even worse, political allies of the firm began to elicit unfounded accusations from that country’s regulators.  The White House Writers Group launched a six-month, earned-media campaign aimed at financial elites to focus international pressure on the host country.  The result was the successful sale of the client’s interest in the partnership on favorable terms.

The White House Writers Group brought together the company’s legal and communications teams to map out all probable scenarios and trigger points.  The creation of these scenario maps, each with fully vetted statements and ready-to-release plans, gave the corporate counsel confidence to proceed with an aggressive public response.

The inquiry was successfully resolved.

Located on the Stanford University campus, the Hoover Institution has one of greatest libraries on Earth, 25 miles-worth of materials on political, economic and social change.  It is also the home of some of the world’s most innovative scholars and thinkers in economics and foreign policy, including Nobel Prize winners and former Secretaries of State.  Hoover scholars frequently publish short policy pieces that are punchy and inventive.

And yet in the East Coast policy world, Hoover was punching below its intellectual weight.  The White House Writers Group was brought in to help Hoover better establish its presence in the nation’s capital, paving the way for its active Washington office.

WHWG continues to help organize salon dinners and lunches for its scholars to share ideas with media and policymakers. WHWG also places Hoover opinion-editorials, markets and promotes their books and papers to key decision-makers, and helped their TV show, Uncommon Knowledge, undergo a successful migration from broadcast to widely subscribed webcast.

One of the nation’s storied railroads, in an accident without fatalities or major injuries, was stunned when a jury hit it with a $2.5 million verdict.

The White House Writers Group’s team of legal advisors dissected the verdict.  From talk radio to the nation’s most elite journals, this case became a national poster child of ridiculous punitive verdicts.

It was reversed on appeal.

When CSX sought to merge with Conrail, it faced surprisingly strong opposition in Washington, D.C.  The White House Writers Group worked with CSX and Conrail customers to write 3,000 personal letters in support of regulatory approval.  WHWG also worked with the company’s legal advisors to harmonize its regulatory filings with the company’s strong customer and consumer messages.

The result was the approval of the merger.
