Page "Richard Perle" Paragraph 5

“ Albert Wohlstetter phoned me one day.

I was still a graduate student at Princeton … and he said, could you come to Washington for a few days and interview some people and draft a report on the current debate shaping up in the Senate over ballistic missile defense, which was a hot issue … And he said, I ’ ve asked somebody else to do this too, and maybe the two of you could work together.

The someone else was Paul Wolfowitz.

So Paul and I came to Washington as volunteers for a few days, to interview people, and one of the people we interviewed was Scoop Jackson and it was love at first sight … I was there for eleven years .”
