The 1962 Bilderberg Meeting was the 11th such meeting and the first one in Sweden. It was held at Saltsjöbaden (as were the 1973 and 1984 Bilderbergs). It had participants from 10 European countries, the United States and Canada.[1] It was held at St-Castin near Quebec, Canada. The guests included business executives, politicians, financiers, editors/journalists and academics. The next meeting was the 1963 Bilderberg.
Agenda
The 1962 Bilderberg Agenda has been leaked and is now online.[1]
1. What initiatives are required to bring about a new sense in leadership and direction within the Western Community?
The role of NATO in the world policy of the member countries
Eight guests had prepared answers to the following questions:
- What is the attitude towards the Alliance in the various countries?
- What are the principal problems at present arising in connection with the Alliance?
- Should it be attempted to increase cohesion among members and, if so, how?
The role and control of atomic weapons inside NATO
"The discussion of this item was based, on the one hand, on a technical note from an authoritative source and, on the other, on an article by one of the American participants that had recently appeared in Foreign Affairs under the title: "Nuclear Sharing: N.A.T.O. and the N+I country".[1]
2. The implications for Western unity of changes in the relative economic strength of the United States and Western Europe
This was introduced by two working papers.[1]
