Hill & Knowlton's Statement on Hoax CHICAGO, Aug. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Gene Reineke, the Chief Operating Officer
of Hill & Knowlton U.S., issued this statement today: Federal officials informed us that our firm's name was used by an imposter to schedule his appearance at a press conference in Louisiana, supposedly to discuss federal housing policy. The imposter also appeared at that press conference, identifying himself as representing the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. At Hill & Knowlton, we work hard to protect the reputations of our clients. Accordingly, our own reputation is of great importance to us. These hoaxers have absolutely no connection to our firm. HUD is not a client of Hill & Knowlton. We encourage media or others to confirm H&K contacts if there is any confusion. Media can always confirm H&K people by contacting Denise Gordon, our U.S. director of human resources, at 212-885-0547, or by emailing the person at an H&K e-mail address (firstname.lastname@hillandknowlton.com).
