'''Team B Members'''
"Team members included Richard Pipes (father of [[Daniel Pipes]], director of the [[Middle East Forum]]) and [[William Van Cleave]], both of whom would become members of the second [[Committee on the Present Danger]], as well as Gen. [[Daniel Graham]], whose 'High Frontier' missile defense proposal foreshadowed President [[Ronald Reagan]]'s [[Strategic Defense Initiative]] (SDI), or "Star Wars." The team's advisory panel included [[Paul Wolfowitz]], [[Paul H. Nitze]], and [[Seymour Weiss]]--all close associates of [[Albert Wohlstetter]]. Although [[Richard Perle]] played no direct role in Team B, he was instrumental in setting it up. It was Perle who had introduced Richard Pipes, a Polish immigrant who taught Czarist Russian history at Harvard, to Sen. [[Henry Jackson]], catapulting Pipes into a clique of fanatically anti-Soviet hawks. Pipes, who served as Team B's chairman, later said he chose Wolfowitz as his principal Team B adviser 'because Richard Perle recommended him so highly.'"[http://rightweb.irc-online.org/analysis/2004/0402teamb.php]
"The Team B leader was Prof. Richard Pipes. Associates were Prof. William Van Cleave; Lt. Gen. Daniel Graham, USA (Ret.); Dr. [[Thomas Wolfe]], [[RAND Corporation]]; and Gen. [[John Vogt]], USAF, (Ret.). The Team's Advisory Panel was comprised of Ambassador [[Foy Kohler]]; The Honorable Paul Nitze; Ambassador Seymour Weiss; Maj. Gen. [[Jasper Welch]], USAF; and Dr. Paul Wolfowitz, [[Arms Control and Disarmament Agency]]."[http://intellit.muskingum.edu/analysis_folder/analysissovteams.html]
