Reply #18: The origins of neo-conservative thinking (cont.)

[jmcgowanjm]

Some of the other neo-conservatives to have worked with
Scoop Jackson are William Kristol (son of Irving Kristol),
Elliott Abrams (son-in-law of Norman Podhoretz) and
Frank Gaffney. Perle and Abrams, working out of
Jackson's office, used the issue of Jewish emigration from
the Soviet Union to undermine U.S.-Soviet détente.
Jackson sponsored legislation that made the Soviet
Union's gaining "most favoured nation status" contingent on
an increase in Jewish
emigration.
