: John H. Roseboom asserts that he was a member of the original PERT team in his letter to the editor of OPERATIONS RESEARCH (Vol. 9, No. 6, November-December 1961, pp. 909-910). This would seem to be supported by the original paper on the development of PERT authored by D. G. Malcolm, J. H. Roseboom, and C. E. Clark of Booz, Allen and Hamilton; and W. Fazar of the Special Projects Office, U.S. Navy (OPERATIONS RESEARCH Vol. 7, No. 5, September-October 1959, pp. 646-669).

::<blockquote>Charles E. Clark was the principal author of PERT... The early key documents are: PERT Summary Report Phase 1, Bureau of Naval Weapons, Department of the Navy, Washington, July 1958; PERT Summary Report Phase 2, Bureau of Naval Weapons, Department of the Navy, Washington, September 1958. Fazar (op. cit. 1962) reports that he gave the technique its name, and that formal work on it began February 6, 1958. Within a week Clark presented the outlines of the method.</blockquote>
