they had "never heard of it," nor did they have the slightest idea
where I might find what I was seeking. Such is the power and
prestige of the Committee of 300.
In 1966 I was advised by my intelligence colleagues to
approach Dr. Anatol Rappaport who had written a treatise in which
the administration was said to be interested. It was a paper
intended to bring an end to NASA's space program, which Rapport
said had outlived its usefulness. Rappaport was quite happy to
give me a copy of his paper which, without going into fine detail,
basically claimed that NASA's space program should be scrapped.
NASA has too many scientists who were exerting a bad influence
on America because they were always eager to lecture schools and
university audiences on how rocketry worked, from construction to
propulsion. Rappaport claimed that this would produce a
generation of adults who would decide to become space scientists,
only to find themselves "redundant" as no one would need their
services by the year 2000.
No sooner had Rappaport's profiling report on NASA been
presented to NATO by the Club of Rome, than the Committee of
300 demanded action. NATO-Club of Rome officials charged with
urgent anti-NASA action were Harland Cleveland, Joseph Slater,
Claiborne K. Pell, Walter J. Levy, George McGhee, William Watts,
Robert Strausz-Hupe (U.S. ambassador to NATO) and Donald Lesh.
In May 1967 a meeting was organized by the Scientific and
Technological Committee of the North Atlantic Assembly and the
Foreign Policy Research Institute. It was called "Conference on
Transatlantic Imbalance and Collaboration" and it was held at
Queen Elizabeth's palatial property in Deauville, France.
The basic purpose and intent of the conference at Deauville
was to end U.S. technological and industrial progress. Out of the
conference came two books, one of which is mentioned herein,
Brzezinski's "Technotronic Era." The other was written by
conference chairman, Aurellio Peccei, entitled "The Chasm Ahead."
Peccei largely agreed with Brzezinski, but added that there world
be chaos in a future world NOT RULED BY A ONE WORLD
GOVERNMENT. In this regard, Peccei insisted that the Soviet
Union must be offered "a convergence with NATO," such a
convergence ending in an equal partnership in a New World Order
