EARLYBIRD

Thursday, January 14, 2010 8:30 AM

From this morning's Earlybird:

• "A number of K Street interests have begun to switch gears to help Haiti recover from its catastrophic earthquake Tuesday," The Hill reports. "Unions, religious groups and even lobbyists working on trade agreements are now scrambling to find more foreign aid for Haiti."

• "Outside interest groups are springing up on a daily basis to dump huge sums of money into the" Massachusetts "Senate race, funding negative television ads that seek to tip the race in its closing hours," the Boston Globe reports.

• "News conferences were scheduled and telephone briefings were penciled in, but Washington advocacy groups were disappointed yet again Wednesday: The Supreme Court did not issue its long-awaited decision on campaign finance laws," the Washington Post reports.

• "Google Inc.'s threat to pull out of China is the most visible reflection of U.S. companies' growing disillusionment with the country nine years after it joined the World Trade Organization, business groups said," Bloomberg News reports.
