Lobby Firm Is Scandal Casualty
Abramoff, DeLay Publicity Blamed For Shutdown

One of Washington's top lobbying operations will shut down at the end
of the month because of its ties to disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff
and former House majority leader Tom DeLay.
Alexander Strategy Group, which had thrived since its founding in 1998
thanks largely to its close connections to DeLay (R-Tex.), will cease
to operate except for a relatively small business-development
division, Edwin A. Buckham, the former top DeLay aide who owns the
company, said yesterday.
Buckham said in a telephone interview that the company was fatally
damaged by publicity about the ongoing federal investigation into the
affairs of Abramoff, who pleaded guilty last week to fraud and
conspiracy charges.
