NEWS STORY Bracewell & Giuliani Firm Advises Cintra in First Privatization of Toll Road in Texas
DALLAS (March 1, 2007) Bracewell & Giuliani LLP (Rudy's Texas-based law firm with global connections) advised Cintra Concesiones de Infraestructuras de Transporte, S.A., a Spanish transportation company, in its successful bid to develop State Highway 121 into a toll road through Collin and Denton counties ("trade road" is four football fields wide). The award to Cintra, approved by the Texas Transportation Commission, is the first privatization of a Texas toll road. Bracewell is acting as project counsel to Cintra with respect to the 50-year concession from the Texas Department of Transportation. Cintra will pay a $2.1 billion upfront and annual lease payments totaling $700 million. "Cintra was awarded this project because of its proven expertise and competitive proposal," said Thomas O. Moore, partner with Bracewell & Giuliani. "This is the largest transportation deal of 2007. This is one of only five deals in the country."

Kazakhstan, an Ex-Soviet state eyes uranium primacy
By Bonnie Pfister TRIBUNE-REVIEW Wednesday, July 11, 2007

With Giuliani's help, Westinghouse, an American company has been allowed to deliver its newest third-generation nuclear plant to China. --SNIP--

WHAT WAS THAT AGAIN? "Has been allowed"? Actually, if Rudy has his way, Americans are quite possibly going to pay for these nuclear plants to be built.

The US federal Ex-Im Bank http://www.exim.gov) approved up to $5 billion in loan guarantees or even direct loans for this project back in 2005, although apparently, no specific funding guarantee or allocation has yet been made. That would change if Rudy gets presidential power.

Back in June, 2007, and article from Human Events reported "Administration Poised to Subsidize China’s Nuclear Industry," --- covers the Ex-Im political situation up to that point.

In November, 2007, a technical article on Red China's nuclear power situation from the World Nuclear Association, Nuclear Power in China also mentions the funding and more detail about what contracts nuclear players are already involved in the PRC.

Giuliani Fund Raising Reaches Into Kazakhstan
By MARY JACOBY Wall Street Journal, September 25, 2007; Page A6 http://online.wsj.com/article/SB119068473680038294.html

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s campaign is looking for political cash this week in an unlikely place: Resource-rich Kazakhstan, where the Republican presidential front-runner’s law firm does substantial business in the often murky oil, gas and minerals industries.

A fund-raising event tomorrow in Almaty, the commercial center of the former Soviet republic, will mark the campaign’s third foray overseas for cash. Last week, Mr. Giuliani flew to London for a fund-raising luncheon where about 100 Americans living in Europe paid between $1,000 and $2,300 for a ticket — the second his campaign has held in the United Kingdom..........snip

MORE BACKGROUND Giuliani firm has Venezuela ties

The law firm headlined by presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani does business with a company tied to Venezuelan leader Hugo Chávez, who has called President Bush ``the devil.'' Bracewell & Giuliani lobbies on behalf of Texas-based Citgo Petroleum, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Venezuelan oil company controlled by Chávez. The Bush administration said last year that Venezuela was ''not cooperating fully'' with antiterrorism efforts, stopping one step short of grouping the country with state sponsors of terrorism like Iran, Syria and Cuba. Giuliani, the former New York City mayor best known for his leadership after the Sept. 11 terrorism attacks, does not personally lobby for Citgo, though he is a senior partner at the firm and shares in its profits.
