Wayne Valis was a mercenary lobbyist who worked extensively for the tobacco industry through his company Valis Associates. See the company for details. There was almost no project that was too devious or underhand for Valis or his company.
Valis was a political lobbyist from the right-wing, corporate (libertarian) side of politics who worked for President's Ronald Reagan and Gerald Ford and also for the members of the Atlas Group of libertarian/ultra free-market think-tanks -- like the American Enterprise Institute -- which was being developed at this time into a global network.
He converted his ideological inclinations into a cash-rich business in 1983 when he left the Reagan Administration just before the elections and set up his Valis Associates lobbying business which allowed him to exploit the administration associations.
