It has been an honor to work with the board to assure that you have had the best advice and counsel that its many experienced and wise members can provide.I have seen controversies like this before and I know that this one will inevitably distract from the urgent challenge in which you are now engaged.I would not wish to cause even a moment’s distraction from that challenge. As I cannot quickly or easily quell criticism of me based on errors of fact concerning my activities, the least I can do under these circumstances is to ask you to accept my resignation as chairman of the Defense Policy Board.You have my assurance that I have respected and abided by the rules that apply to the DPB and other advisory boards.Finally, I am advising Global Crossing that I will not accept any compensation that might result from their pending acquisition and that any fee for past service would be donated to the families of American forces killed or injured in Iraq.With respect and good wishes,Sincerely yours,Richard PerleRichard Perle is a resident fellow at AEI.Related LinksStatement from Secretary of Defense Donald H.
