	Tom Schieffer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Thomas "Tom" Schieffer (born October 4, 1947) is the Ambassador of the United States to Japan, and was Ambassador to Australia from 2001 to 2005.
		Schieffer was admitted to the bar in 1979 and became a corporate lawyer in Fort Worth, specialising in the oil and gas industry.
		During 2002 and 2003, however, Schieffer came under increasing criticism for his closeness to the conservative Howard government, which was a prominent ally of the Bush administration before and during the U.S.-led 2003 invasion of Iraq.

	Presidential Profile: George W. Bush
		Thomas Schieffer may be a Democrat, but there are still at least two things he shares in common with President Bush: a passion for baseball and a background in the Texas oil industry.
		Schieffer, a lawyer specializing in oil and gas transactions, brought George W. Bush into the group that bought the Texas Rangers baseball team in 1989, and later served as president and general partner of the club when Bush was elected governor of Texas in 1994.
		Schieffer served three terms in the Texas House of Representatives as a Democrat, but he was an avid supporter of Bush's campaigns for governor and president.

		TOM SCHIEFFER: I think that the Secretary made a very powerful statement today that I think was very persuasive and I think that it will go a long way toward making the case that something has to be done about these weapons of mass destruction.
		TOM SCHIEFFER: I don't think that it was put out there as the airtight case for a link to Al Qaeda.
		TOM SCHIEFFER: If America did not have the threat of a military option here, there is no question in my mind - and I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who'd say that Saddam Hussein will voluntarily give up these weapons of mass destruction.

	Interview with US Ambassador Tom Schieffer
		Tom Schieffer: I don't think that there is an increased risk, and the reason I say that is because I think that Australia was as much at risk on September 11th as the United States was.
		Tom Schieffer: I think that they are getting the type of access that helps them in those matters, and I think the Indonesians have to come to grips with the reality that Abu Bakar Bashir is a terrorist and he is the head of a terrorist organisation.
		Tom Schieffer: Absolutely, because we believe that he has been at the centre of terrorism in this part of the world and that he has been involved with the JI activities and we think that there are a lot of roads that lead to his house.

		SCHIEFFER: He was so different, in the sense that in some ways the Senate is now a millionaire's club, and yet, when he was elected to the Senate the first time around, it meant an enormous pay raise for him.
		SCHIEFFER: Senator, and I don't mean this in a personal way, but I was down in Georgia this week covering the race down there between Democrat Max Cleland and the Republican Saxby Chambliss, and I'm getting the impression that the main issue in all these races is Tom Daschle.
		SCHIEFFER: But if there were a Republican sitting here, he would say it's not checks and balances, but obstructionist tactics by the Democrats in the Senate, who are blocking things like homeland security, which they see as the key to fighting terrorism.

	Round 3: Bush Grins, Spins but Doesn't Win (washingtonpost.com)
		Kerry did show a sense of humor when answering Schieffer's last question, about what it was like to be surrounded by "strong women," including their wives and daughters.
		Schieffer's questions were thoughtful, comprehensive and well worded, though there was no practical way to keep the candidates from repeating their favorite buzzwords and slogans as often as they could.
		When Schieffer asked a question about jobs, Bush took his cheapest shot of the evening, ignoring the question to say to Kerry, "There's a mainstream in American politics, and you sit right on the far left bank," then adding that Kerry was so liberal he made Kennedy look like the conservative senator from Massachusetts.

		SCHIEFFER: Another subject on politics, and that is Tipper Gore reports today that she may in fact be thinking of running for the Democratic Senate nomination in the Senate.

		Schieffer is both a genial Texan and a steely southern Democrat.
		The bottom line for Schieffer is this: “The way you have influence with George Bush is not to tell him what he ought do through the newspapers, but to his face.” Or short of that, a face-to-face with the president’s friends or senior administration figures.
		Schieffer is already anticipating a successful prosecution of the war and a perception of Australia in Washington as “the United Kingdom of the Pacific”.

		Schieffer remembers "wandering into the amputation ward of a hospital and seeing those kids with stumps where their legs should be, and it tore me up.
		Schieffer's resilience and glass-is-half-full philosophy are among the qualities -- plus an old-school work ethic and trustworthiness -- that have endured throughout his career.
		Since Schieffer all but lionized the great, brooding Sevareid from the first day at CBS News' Washington bureau more than 30 years ago, it is likely he would be humbled by the comparison.

		In a move that one Labor frontbencher yesterday described as "astonishing", Mr Schieffer will appear on Thursday night as the guest of honour at an Adelaide cocktail party arranged by Foreign Minister Alexander Downer's Mayo branch of the Liberal Party.
		Last night, a spokesman at the US embassy confirmed that Mr Schieffer would speak at the event, but said the ambassador did not believe the function was a fund-raiser.
