Samuel Richard "Sandy" Berger (born October 28, 1945) is an American political consultant who served as the United States National Security Advisor for President Bill Clinton from March 14, 1997 until January 20, 2001. Before that he served as the Deputy National Security Advisor for the Clinton Administration from January 20, 1993 until March 14, 1997. ==Early life== Berger was born to a Jewish family〔 edited by Louis Sandy Maisel, Ira N. Forman, Donald Altschiller, Charles Walker Bassett (Jews in American Politics: Introduction by Senator Joseph I. Lieberman ); accessed March 31, 2015.〕 in Millerton, New York where his parents ran an Army-Navy store. He graduated from Webutuck High School in 1963, and earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from Cornell University in 1967〔(Profile ), cornell.edu; accessed March 31, 2015.〕〔(Berger biography ), clinton4.nara.gov; accessed March 31, 2015.〕 and his Juris Doctor degree from Harvard Law School in 1971. At Cornell, Berger was a member of the Quill and Dagger society with Paul Wolfowitz and Stephen Hadley. Opposed to the Vietnam War, Berger began working for Senator George McGovern's presidential campaign in 1972. While there, he met Bill Clinton, forming a friendship that would last for decades. Berger later urged Clinton to run for president.〔Ahrens, Frank, ("The Reluctant Warrior" ), ''Washington Post'', February 24, 1998.〕 After the McGovern campaign, Berger gained experience working in a variety of government posts, including serving as Special Assistant to Mayor of New York City John Lindsay and Legislative Assistant to U.S. Senator Harold Hughes of Iowa and Congressman Joseph Resnick of New York. He was also Deputy Director of Policy Planning for the U.S. Department of State from 1977 to 1980 under Secretary of State Cyrus Vance during the Carter administration.〔(Stonebridge website ); retrieved January 10, 2007.〕 After leaving the State Department, Berger went on to join the law firm Hogan & Hartson where he helped expand the firm's international law practice. As a partner, he opened the firm's first two international offices, in London and Brussels.〔 "Sandy Berger", Nancy Pelosi said in 1997, "was the point-man at... Hogan & Hartson... for the trade office of the Chinese government. He was a lawyer-lobbyist."〔Hentoff, Nat, ("Dinner With Gen. Chi" ), ''Washington Post'', January 26, 1997〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sandy Berger」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
