Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA) congratulates Perspectives
In a letter dated October 17, 2006, Senator Arlen Specter writes:
I congratulate you on your efforts to stimulate debate as an educational tool…
High school and college debate gave me the best educational experience in my academic career. It taught me research, analysis, organization and public speaking all at one time. I heartily recommend it to every high school and college student.
My best.
Sincerely,
Arlen Specter
