Statement from President William R. Brody
on the nomination of Dean Paul Wolfowitz as
Deputy Secretary of Defense
President George W. Bush today announced his intention
to nominate Paul Wolfowitz, dean of the Johns Hopkins
University Paul H. Nitze
School of Advanced International Studies, as deputy
secretary of defense. Wolfowitz has served as the dean of
SAIS since January 1994.
Here is a statement from
William R. Brody, president of The Johns Hopkins
University, in reaction to President Bush's announcement:
"The bad news is that Johns Hopkins is losing a great
dean. The good news is that the country is getting a very
smart, very focused, clear-thinking leader as deputy
secretary of defense. Paul Wolfowitz will serve the nation
well.
"In the seven years that Paul has been at Johns
Hopkins, a lot has changed. It's a different world now, in
many respects. But SAIS is ready, because Paul and his
faculty and staff have had the insight to discern what's
important and the commitment to excellence necessary to
maintain a leadership role in teaching and research.
"Paul repositioned the school from a Cold War
orientation, which it had since its founding, to a focus on
the impact and challenges of Globalization in the post-Cold
War era. He has strengthened the faculty, grown the
endowment, raised funds for student aid and enhanced the
school's visibility among policymakers in Washington and
around the world. Johns Hopkins is grateful, and we wish him
the very best."
