12. Specific lobbying issues (current and anticipated)

Mr. LaPorta/LVPR has been retained to address concerns that Members of Congress, Executive branch and American businesses have about Huawei products/services being developed or manufactured in the US for US consumption. In the interest of US - China trade relations, LaPorta/LVPR will address those concerns via programs developed by Mr. LaPorta/LVPR and aired on KIOF 97.9 FM locally and Internet streams worldwide. Although Mr. LaPorta/LVPR will not be advocating for Huawei, we have decided to register in the interest of transparency as Huawei will assist Mr. LaPorta/LVPR through a specialized pilot project located in a select Chinese city to make the American Public Broadcasting System readily available in China.
