“Of all these meetings, the most valuable to me while I was in opposition were the Bilderberg Conferences... They were the brainchild of Joseph Retinger... After the war he organized the Congress of the Hague, which launched the European Movement... I was invited to the first [Bilderberg] meeting and later acted as convenor of the British who attended.”

- ↑ 1955 and 1957 both had two meetings, a model which was not adopted. The 1976 meeting was cancelled due to the media attention surrounding the arms dealing of the chairman, Bernhard von Biesterfeld.
