Berger is the co-founder (with Anthony S. Harrington) of Stonebridge International. Thought you might be interested in this part of Mr. Harrington's bio:

"Ambassador Harrington was previously Chairman of the President's Intelligence Oversight Board, Vice Chairman of the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board and a member of the congressionally-created Commission on the Roles and Capabilities of the U. S. Intelligence Community."

Now that I have your attention...here's the rest.

Anthony Stephen Harrington is President of Stonebridge International, LLC, an international strategic advisory firm based in Washington, DC, co-founded with former National Security Advisor Samuel R. Berger.

Previously, he served as Ambassador of the United States to the Federative Republic of Brazil. He was nominated by President Clinton on October 29, 1999, and was confirmed by the U.S. Senate with bipartisan support in a record 12 days later. Brazil is the fifth largest country, representing about half of South America in population, territory and economy. U.S. business investment in Brazil is greater than in any emerging country, more than in our next-door neighbor Mexico and five times that in China. More than 400 of the Fortune 500 companies have operations in Brazil.

Ambassador Harrington carried out a mandate to upgrade the level of relations between the U.S. and Brazil, arriving at post after almost two years without an ambassador. He worked with a broad range of U.S. companies in addressing concerns related to doing business in the country, and he also actively engaged leaders of Brazilian industry.

In recognition of his accomplishments in U.S.-Brazil relations, the Government of Brazil conferred on Ambassador Harrington the Order of Rio Branco, Grand Cross.

Before serving in Brazil, Mr. Harrington was a senior partner of Hogan & Hartson, a 900-lawyer, international firm based in Washington, D.C., with offices elsewhere in the United States, Western and Eastern Europe and Asia. He currently serves as international strategic advisor to the firm.

Ambassador Harrington was previously Chairman of the President's Intelligence Oversight Board, Vice Chairman of the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board and a member of the congressionally-created Commission on the Roles and Capabilities of the U. S. Intelligence Community.

Other past activities include serving as a founder, director and officer of several business and non-profit corporations. Mr. Harrington was a founder of Telecom*USA, which became the fourth largest U. S. long distance telephone company, prior to its merger with MCI.

Mr. Harrington is a trustee of the Kenan Institute for Private Enterprise and a member of the Board of Directors of PRE Solutions, Inc., a private telecommunications company.
