		In fact, Lehman has already launched the opening salvo of his latest campaign: talking with the press in early January, he expressed concern that computer and telephone companies would try to hold ratification of the treaty "hostage" to their special interests.
		Lehman hopes to use such smokescreens to divert attention from the fact that the agenda he'll once again be promoting on Capitol Hill is Hollywood's.
		Yet since Lehman was named head of the administration's working group on intellectual property issues, he has been working on behalf of the very same highly protectionist copyright industries that he represented when he was a lobbyist.

	Lehman's policy challenged as Berne Convention draws near
		Lehman said he has tried to balance the demands of the communications companies with the demands of the companies that own copyrighted products.
