The government and the public these days are intensely interested in the actions of American business. This means that companies and related organizations live or die with the quality of their communications. Yet most executives are far more expert at providing products and services than at writing or editing speeches, articles, or statements. They need professional help, often of a type not readily available within their own organizations. I offer this help, combining editorial experience with substantive expertise in areas of current controversy. The goal is to help executives and their public relations advisors figure out exactly what they want and need to say, and then say it in the most effective way.

JAMES V. DeLONG is based in Washington, D.C. He wrote the recent book PROPERTY MATTERS: How Property Rights Are Under Assault -- And Why You Should Care (Free Press, 1997), and the article, THE NEW CRIMINAL CLASSES: Legal Sanctions and Business Managers (National Legal Center for the Public Interest, 1997). Other work has appeared in the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Times, the New York Times, Reason, the National Law Journal, the New Republic, Regulation, the Salt Lake Tribune, the Las Vegas Journal, the World & I, the New York Times Magazine, the Brookings Review, the Cato Institute's Policy Analysis series, and the Competitive Enterprise Institute's Environmental Studies series. He has also published widely in professional and scholarly journals.

Mr. DeLong has written many speeches, statements, articles, and reports for corporate and government officials. He himself is a veteran public speaker, and has testified often before state and federal legislative bodies. He participates frequently in talk radio shows.

Mr. DeLong's prior positions include service as a manager in both the government and private sectors. He started his career as a litigation lawyer in a large law firm. Mr. DeLong was a magna cum laude graduate of Harvard Law School, where he was Book Review Editor of the Harvard Law Review, and a cum laude graduate of Harvard College, where he majored in U.S. history.
