From: campbell@ufomind.com (Glenn Campbell, Las Vegas) Date: Thu, 26 Jun 1997 05:33:48 -0800 Subject: Press Release for 1997 Bilderberg Meeting in Atlanta |
06/12 Bilderberg Meeting of 1997 Assembles (List of Participants)
ATLANTA, June 12 /PRNewswire/ -- The 45th Bilderberg Meeting will be held
near Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A. June 12-15, 1997 to discuss the Atlantic
Relationship in a Time of Change. Among others the Conference will discuss
NATO, China, Islam, EMU, Energy, Growth, Corporate Governance.
Approximately 120 participants from North America and Europe will attend
the discussions. The meeting is private in order to encourage frank and open
discussion.
Bilderberg takes its name from the Hotel where the first meeting took
place in May 1954. That meeting grew out of the concern on both sides of the
Atlantic that the industrialized democracies in Europe and North America were
not working together as closely as they should on matters of critical
importance. It was felt that regular, off-the-record discussions would
contribute to a better understanding of the complex forces and major trends
affecting Western nations.
What is unique about Bilderberg as a forum is (1) the broad cross-section
of leading citizens, in and out of government, that are assembled for nearly
three days of purely informal discussion about topics of current concern
especially in the fields of foreign affairs and the international economy,
(2) the strong feeling among participants that in view of the differing
attitudes and experiences of their nations, there is a continuous, clear need
to develop an understanding in which these concerns can be accommodated, and
(3) the privacy of the meetings, which have no purpose other than to allow
participants to speak their minds openly and freely.
At the meetings, no resolutions are proposed, no votes taken, and no
policy statements issued. In short, Bilderberg is a flexible and informal
international leadership-forum in which different viewpoints can be expressed
and mutual understanding enhanced.
To ensure full discussion, individuals representing a wide range of
political and economic points of view are invited. Two-thirds of the
participants come from Europe and the remainder from the United States and
Canada. Within this framework, on average about one-third are from the
government sector and the remaining two-thirds from a variety of fields
including finance, industry, labour, education and the media. Participants
are solely invited for their knowledge, experience and standing and with
reference to the topics on the agenda.
All participants attend Bilderberg in a private and not in an official
capacity.
Participants have agreed not to give interviews to the press during the
meeting. In contacts with the news media after the conference it is an
established rule that no attribution should be made to individual
participants of what was discussed during the meeting.
There will be no press conference. A list of participants is appended.
