Perry<\/strong> served as the U.S. Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering in the Carter administration and then as Secretary of Defense in the Clinton administration. He oversaw the development of the strategic nuclear systems that are currently in our arsenal. His new offset strategy ushered in the age of stealth, smart weapons, GPS, and technologies that changed the face of modern warfare. In 2007, Dr. Perry collaborated with George Shultz, Sam Nunn, and Henry Kissinger to publish several ground-breaking editorials in the<em> Wall Street Journal<\/em> that linked the vision of a world free from nuclear weapons with urgent but practical steps that could be taken to reduce nuclear dangers. Perry\u2019s 2015 memoir, &#8220;My Journey at the Nuclear Brink<em>,&#8221;<\/em>\u00a0is a personal account of his lifelong effort to reduce nuclear dangers. He founded the William J. Perry Project to educate the public on these dangers. In 2020 Perry co-authored &#8220;THE BUTTON: The New Nuclear Arms Race and Presidential Power from Truman to Trump.&#8221; He is the Michael and Barbara Berberian Professor (emeritus) at Stanford University. Perry is the father of five, grandfather of eight, and great-grandfather of four. He continues to travel the world in pursuit of his goal of reducing the threat from nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13709\" src=\"https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2020\/11\/a66cd4f1aed748ab869b71744c40ca08.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2020\/11\/a66cd4f1aed748ab869b71744c40ca08.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2020\/11\/a66cd4f1aed748ab869b71744c40ca08-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2020\/11\/a66cd4f1aed748ab869b71744c40ca08-50x50.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"lastp\"><strong>Tom Z.
