The 1971 Bilderberg Meeting was the 20st such meeting and had participants from 12 Western European countries, the United States, Canada and "various international organizations".[1] It was held at the Woodstock Inn, Woodstock, Vermont, United States. The guests included business executives, politicians, financiers, editors/journalists and academics. The next was the 1972 Bilderberg.
Agenda
The 1971 Bilderberg Conference Report has been leaked and is now online. There were two topics on the agenda.[1]
1. The Contribution of Business in Dealing with Current Problems of Social Instability
This topic had working papers from US and Italy.
2. The Possibility of a Change of the American Role in the World, and its Consequences
Exceptionally, this topic had three working papers from a single Bilderberg Steering Committee member, Dennis Healey. He spelled out the "Nixon Doctrine" a paper on Deluded Strategies in the Twilight of the Cold War (originally published in The Times), The Nixon Doctrine and the Future of Europe and Possibility of a Change in the U.S. Role in the World, and Its Consequences.[2]
Absence
The meeting was opened by Klaus-Georg von Amsberg who read a letter from Professor John Pesmazoglou, who had been invited but was not given a passport by the Greek government, so did not attend.
