THANKS, MYTH AND REALTY BY ROSWELL B. PERKINS 1 (April 1993)

handle is hein.ali/alicgv0080 and id is 1 raw text is: /030 THANKS. MYTH AND REALITY Roswell B. Perkins Chief Justice Veasey has been kind enough to offer me the opportunity to express my thoughts in this compila- tion of commentary an the ALI's Corporate Governance Project. I have accepted his offer, but will limit myself to a few general observations.2 My first thought is one of thanks and appreciation to all those who have made constructive comment in the course of the Project. Some of the most helpful partici- pants are contributors to this issue, but there are many others as well. There is no doubt in my mind that the final product enormously benefited, as do almost all Institute products, not only from the comments of members but also from informed groups and individuals outside the Institute. 1. Mr. Perkins is a member of the New York bar and prac- tices law with Debevoise & Plimpton in New York City. He served as President of The American Law Institute from May 1980 to May 1993. 2. I have commented on prior occasions, including: Perkins, The Genesis and Goals of the ALl Corporate Governance Project, 8 Cardozo Law Review 661 (1987); The ALI Corporate Governance Project in Midstream, 41 The Business Lawyer 1195 (1986); The President's Letter, The ALl Reporter, Vol. 4, No. 2 (January 1982).
