Additional information about Richard Perle
He is an adamant supporter of Israel.
At present, he has access to all manner of classified information and "he's in the loop on war planning." (Marshall 12-17-2001)
He was investigated in 1980s for possible ties to the Israeli espionage case involving Jonathan Jay Pollard. (Steinberg 10-26-2001)
"An FBI summary of a 1970 wiretap recorded Perle discussing classified information with someone at the Israeli embassy. He came under fire in 1983 when newspapers reported he received substantial payments to represent the interests of an Israeli weapons company. Perle denied conflict of interest, insisting that, although he received payment for these services after he had assumed his position in the Defense Department, he was between government jobs when he worked for the Israeli firm."

3 Notes on Current Board.
Ties to Defense Industry. Research by the Center for Public Integrity revealed that as of December 2002, Defense Policy Board members had ties to several prominent defense-related companies like Boeing, TRW, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin and Booz Allen Hamilton as well as some smaller firms like Symantec Corp., Technology Strategies and Alliance Corp., and Polycom Inc. Furthermore, the organization discovered that of the 30 board members "at least nine have ties to companies that have won more than $76 billion in defense contracts in 2001 and 2002." Additionally, four of the members "are registered lobbyists, one of whom represents two of the three largest defense contractors."
Focus of Board changed under Rumsfeld and Perle. Observers have noted that the scope of the board's focus has broadened under the Bush administration. While traditionally it had advised the Secretary of Defense on "long-term policy issues such as the strategic implications of defense policies and tactical considerations, including what types of weapons the military should develop," under Rumsfeld and Perle, the board has become more involved with issues relating to the overall objectives of US foreign policy. For example, in July 2002, a guest speaker - who had been invited by then-chairman Richard Perle - gave a presentation in which he "recommended that US officials give an ultimatum to stop backing terrorism or face seizure of its oil fields and its financial assets invested in the United States."
