& Quotes
Scheunemann,
a well connected lobbyist with ties to various conservative outfits
like the Project for the New American Century, worked for Deborah
DeMoss when she ran a private intelligence operation for Sen. Jesse
Helms in Latin America. DeMoss was Helms’ point person on
Latin America policy for about 10 years, and helped design the U.S.
administration’s rationale for overthrowing Panamanian dictator
Manuel Noriega. (7)
During his
time working in the senate, Scheunemann worked on legislation and
treaty ratification bills, including the Strategic Arms Reduction
Treaty in 1996, the Chemical Weapons Convention in 1997, and the
enlargement of NATO in 1998. He also served as GOP policy coordinator
on ballistic missile defense and technology transfers to China.

closely with Bruce Jackson on NATO expansion issues, and served
as a registered lobbyist for Latvia, Macedonia, and Romania. (9)
