Interview
Question: You worked on Capitol Hill for three and a half years—first as an attorney with the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, and then as chief of staff to former Senator Edward W. Brooke of Massachusetts, the first African-American senator since Reconstruction following our Civil War, with Barack Obama being the third[1]. And then you worked as a “K Street” lawyer after that, for a total of 19 years. What was it like?
Answer: It was fabulous. I came to Washington near the end of the Vietnam War because I had an Army commission, and I was assigned to the U.S. Army Element of the Defense Intelligence Agency at the Pentagon for two years, which was a wonderful experience.
Question: What did you learn there?
Answer: That the Pentagon and our military are probably the most efficient and effective organs of American government. People might laugh at that, but it is true.
Question: After that, you worked as an attorney with the U.S. Senate Banking Committee?
