We've Been Asked
Campaign attacks on George Bush and John Anderson for membership on the Trilateral Commission again are putting the spotlight on a contro- versial international organization.
Conservative critics claim that the commission constitutes a conspiracy seeking to gain control of the US. government and to create a new world order.
Bush and Anderson are not the only presidential aspirants with Trila- teralist links. An adviser on Ronald Reagan's team, former Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare Cas- par Weinberger, is a member. Presi- dent Carter also was in the organiza- tion before. his election, as were nearly 20 present or former top members of his administration.
What is the commission? It is a group of 275 prominent busi-
nessmen, labor leaders, scholars, statesmen and politicians from the world's three major non-Communist industrialized regions-North Arneri- ca, Western Europe and Japan.
What are its goals? The commission's avowed aim is to
increase political and economic co- operation among the three regions. This is done by analyzing major is- sues of common interest and devel- oping practical proposals to deal with these problems. The commission has published 20 reports, covering such topics as energy, East-West relations and economics.
When and how did it start? David Rockefeller, head of Sew
York's Chase Manhattan Bank, con- vened a meeting of leaders from the three regions in 1972 to discuss a plan "to bring the best brains in the world to bear on problems of the fu- ture." As an upshot of the meeting, the Trilateral Commission was founded 1.1 1973. Its first full-time di- rector: Zbigniew Brzezinski, now Carter's national-security adviser.
How is it organized? A 35-member executive commit-
tee manages the group's activities between annual meetings. There are three headquarters-New York, Par- is and Tokyo-each with a small, full- time staff. Rockefeller is chairman of the North American section.
When and where does it meet?
The full commission gathers once a year for several days, rotating the meetings among the three areas rep- resented. The annual meetings are closed to the media and public and are reported in a quarterly magazine published by the commission.
This year's meeting was held in London March 23-25. The program, underscoring the importance the British attach to the group, included dinner with Prince Philip, a recep- tion with Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and speeches by former Prime Minister James (Lhghan and Foreign Secretary Lord Carrington.
Who finances the commbrion? The North Americaxi share of the
current three-year budget totals 1.67 million dollars. Of this, $644,000 comes from foundations, $530,000 from corporations, $220,000 from in- dividuals and $84,000 from invest- ment income. The Rockefeller name is conspicuous on the list of donors: $180,000 from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, $100,000 from the Rockefeller Foundation, $150,000 from David Rockefeller's personal funds. There is no government mon- ey involved.
How are members of the commls- don chosen?
An 11-member American execu- tive committee nominates candi- dates for the North American delega- tion. Nominations are made on the basis of interest in international af- fairs but with an attempt to strike a balance among areas of the country and professions.
Who serves on the commission? Among the 76 U.S. members are 8
congressmen, 3 state and local gov- ernment officials, 17 businessmen, 13 academicians, 7 bankers and finan- ciers, 10 officials of nonprofit organi- zations and institutes, 7 lawyers, 4 trade-union officials, 3 journalists or media executives and 1 representa- tive of agriculture interests. Cornrnis- sion members who join the executive branch of government must resign, but they often rejoin when their offi- cial service ends.
What .bout conspiracy charges? George Bush, who resigned from
the organization in 1978, says: "To suggest that those that belong to the commission . . . are involved in a con- spiracy is absurd." Reagan loyalist Weinberger, who describes himself as "very conservative," says "the Tri- lateral Commission is performing a very valuable service in strengthen- ing ties between the U.S. and our natural allies."
How influenthl is the commission in shaping go- policy?
Its voice is undoubtedly heard. Be- sides Carter, former Trilateralists in- clude Vice President Mondale, Sec- retary of State Cyrus Vance, Secretary of Defense Harold Brown and Brzezinski-the entire foreign- policy and national-security team.
Still, foreign-affairs experts make this argument: The policies pursued by the Carter administration have produced results that conflict with the commission's goals of closer coop- eration among the non-Communist industrial regions and between this group and the Third World. Rela- tions between the U.S. and its indus- trialized allies, these experts say, have frayed seriously over the past three years, and ties with a number of Third World nations-such as Iran-have rarely been worse.

Big Tycoons
By William Greida ~ ~ o r ( o n P M I t . i i O M t g
When David Rockefeller's Tri- lateral Cornmiasion came to Washington lost week and called upon the Cartu admini, tration, it was like the nest r e turning to the SPMIRI.
President Carter, an la-% lateralist himself, p m t e d hir former brethren in the East Room with praise so generous
. that it was mildly tmbarraab fng to some.
"I was dumbfounded by same of the things he said," said a Trilateral srecutiva "I would love to get permission to quota him in our fund-nirinp."
This ir taiibly off-th- like all Trilateral discuaaiona. but Carter, told the 200 moven and sheken from America, ac+ t a n Europe and J a w that, Sf the Trilateral Commission had been in businem after World War I, the world might have celed World War XI.
Thus encouraged, the Trilat- eralists he& from three other alumni, the Cabinet officen who count most in global matters- State, Deferw and lYmsury. A fourth star canceled his briefing because of illnesx-Carter's nr. '
tional security affairs adviser. Zbigniew Bnednski. th intel- lectual father of the Trilateral idea.
"Poor Zbtg, he was s i r ! u a pup," said Tril.teral coordinrtur George S. Franklin. "He caught the Russian flu in ChiM."
~t least 18 toplevtl executivu of the Carter administration were dream from the Trilateral memberlip, Sa was the foreign minister of J a m SO m e tho prime mfnista of France md the labor minister of West Ger- many. The present membership includes l2 former Cabinet offb cera and top advisers of p8d U.S. administrationq from K m nedy's to Ford'r.

A Plan for How the Ou&t to RUII, I f Only . . . i :
TRILATERAL, From A1 promising politiciw and a light spri~ikling of trade unionists drawn from three continent& This has stirnu- lattd much spooky theorizing about a Rockefeller shadow world govern- ment, a floating establishment con- Sptracy to run everything. In some circles of fervid political imagination, the "Trilateral connection" is short- hand for ~ u o m t s on a string, respond- ing to a secret agenda.
The reality, alas, is less dramatic. On paper, they run the world. But. in the flesh, the Trilateralists get tp gether and mostly talk about how tbe world out to run, if oqly the world would moperate. This humble little secret slipped out
from under the mirror-paneled doors at L'Enfant Plaza where the T r i l a t td btr met for three days last week: the heavyweight members, despite their a m m e economlc clout, feel defen- sive, uneasy, unloved.
"It's surprising," said one pu t id . paht, "that these big, powerful, hefty tycoons would be so defensiua They are not terribly confident."
At the White Hause, even the presi- dent lectured them on their bad im- age. Three foreign leaders from Third World countries. Carter said. have told him personally that the Trilateral Commission is nothing but "a rich man's club" that doesn't care about the rest of the world. The Trilateral- ists, Carter urged, should demonstrate to the poor nations of the world that the commission "has a heart"
"Ninety percent of th8 questions," one informed witnesa mid, "wen: 'Tell us, Mr. President, what can b e do to get .on better terms with the Third World?' "
It j4 a "rich man's club" In global terms, but that was the idea in the
first place. The members are drawn from the leading industrial and finan- cial and intellectual empires of the noncommunist world - Citibank and Fiat m d Nippon Steel, Oxford and Harvard and Tokyo Univemity, Coca- Cola and Barclays of London and Mit- subishi. Their meetings are all in pri- vate, presumably to stimulate franker
. discussion, but perhaps also to en- hance the mystique of importance.
At the Washington sessions, a num- ber d participants noted how r e strained and defensive the Trilateral- b were with one another, tiptoeing around the mains and differences among themselver
The Japanese were defensive about. their trade surpluses. The' Americans about their growlng oil imports. The British and French about their import barriers. The Germans about t h e r low rate of growth.
This is not exactly what weryone cxpecttd when "Trilatmalism" was co- ined five years ago by Bnezhski as the new catch phrase of global think- ing. It may have a short shelf life, as catch phrases go, because the Trila- teral agenda has not exactly swept the world.
NeitHer the Carter administration nor its counterparts in Europe or Ja-
. pan have been able to move very far on the monetary revisions proposed
. by a Trilateral study. Nor have they dweloped the unified energy strategy urged by the commission Nor have they worked out a consolidated bar- gaining approach to those underdevel-
.oped nations that are demanding a new economic order in the world.
The problem is mesay politics, in ev- ery instance. And some of those who were inside noted that the Trilateral

The Trilateral
Commission
A Private North American-European-Japanese Initiative on Matters of Common Concern
Organization and Policy Program The Commission is composed of about 290 individuals from the three re- gions. From this larger group is drawn the Executive Committee, including the Regional Chairmen and Deputy Chairmen, and twenty-eight other in- dividuals - twelve from Japan, eight from the United States. one from Canada, and thirteen from the various countries of the European Commu- nity and Norway. Once each year the full Commission gathers in one of the regions, as in Washington in June 1978, in Tokyo in April 1979, and in London in March 1980.
A major portion of each annual meeting is devoted to consideration of task force reports to the Commission. Task f o m work is at the center of the Pol- icy Program of the Commission. Each report is the joint product of authors from each of the three regions. Although only the authors arc mponsible for the analysis and conclusions, they are likely to draw on a wide range of consultants in the course of their work, including Commission members and others. Before publication, a full draft is discussed in a plenary meeting of the Commission. Twenty task f o m reports have been completed so far, and four others are in various stages of preparation.
In addition to its task force reports, the Commission follows other subjects on a more topical basis by means of presentations and briefings at its meet- ings. Subjects covered have included the social and political implications of inflation, financial aspects of the oil crisis, prospects for peace in the Mid- d k East, illicit corporate payments, macroeconomic policy coordination, nuclear energy and nuclear weapons proliferation, trade problems, and Chiha and the international community.
Major curtent issues are also addressed in Trialogue, the quarterly magazine published by the Commission. Three of the four issues each year are devoted to key international problems high on our nations' agendas, with articles and interviews by important public figures and experts from the trilateral regions and beyond. The fourth Trialogue each year covers in detail the annual three-day meeting of the omm mission.
"/H)ere above national and international bureaucracies and beyond the brief tenures of most elected governments. a useful level of meetings and exchanges of views has come into being-a sort of European-Japanese-American Establishment. Problems can be at- tacked there in a way that are beyond the narrow scope of nation- stare interests and transcend the time horizons of a legislative ses- sion. Also problems can be more impartially and frankly discussed than in offlcial channels. . . . "

**From a Japanese point of view. I beliew the Trilateral Commission has played an immensely useful role in bringing us more closely into the international concert. First. and most important to us. Japan. . .was involved since the wry beginning in the exploratory stages which led to the Commission's creation. This was probably the first time Japan had been associated as an equal partner in a discussion group of such importance and magnitude. Second. unlike the United States where businehnen and lawyers often find their way on loan to the government, private citizens in Japan seldom have a chance to see and think about world affairs from a general and broader point of view. Their joining the Trilateral Cqmmission has enabled them to do just that. . .fD)iscussions within the Com- mission do affect the thinking of our governments and in some cases-although indirectly-their policy decisions. In this sense. I believe that the Commission has made a difference-even if a number of crucial problems. trade relations for example. still exist among the trilateral countries. "
Kiichi Miyazawa, former Foreign Minister of Japan, in Trialogue
The Industrialized Democratic Regions in a Changing International System
Inaugurated in July 1973, the Trilateral Commission is a policy-orknfed or- ganization. Based on analysis of major issues facing North America, West- em Europe, and Japan, the Commission has sought to develop practicable proposals for joint action. The Commission's members arc about 290 distinguished citizens from the t h m regions, drawn from a variety of back- grounds. Commission reports and activities have Plnrdy stimd wide inter- est and made some important contributions.
The historical roois of the Commission can be traced ptimarily to serious strains early in the 1970s in relations among Japan, North America. and Western Europe. As the decade pmaeded, however, it b a ~ m e inmasingly clear that the strains and shifts in the internrtiond system am global as well as trilateral in scope. The renwation of the internaticmal system is thus a task of global as well as trilateral dimensions, and the work of the Commis- sion, as evidenced in its meetings and reports, has moved .ccordingly.
In this global effort, the industrialized democratic regions r e d kidenti- fiable community and a vital core. Their focus, however, must not be an the '
pmmation of the status quo, but on rrt.ngementt which in- em- brace the Third and Fourth Worlds in a cooperative endeavor to - a more equitable world order.
The renwation of the i n t e m t i o d system will be a vey prolonged process. The system shaped after World W u I1 was created through an act d rill and human initiative in a relatively restricted period d time. One pacr had overwhelming might and influence, and othns were closely associated with it. In contrast, a renwated international system rill now require a p cea of creation-much longer and more complu-in which prolonged ne- gotiations will have to be initiated and developed. In nurturing habits and ptactices of working together among the trilateral regions, the Cammissiin should help set the context for these n m s s u y effort..

"The men organizing the Commirsion want it to take new look^ at things. But not for abstract purposes . . . they want to bring about ac- tion, and hence they wcint the new body to be a m a r w e of the intcilcc- tual and the influential. " The Economist
' "The interests of North America. Western Europe and Japan now in- I terlock in so many fieldr: trade and monetary questions, security and / defense, energy supplies, sochl and environmental issues, aid to I developing countries. It is essential for the future. . . that these three
advanced industrial regions coordinate their policies and learn to work together. It is essential that Japan be treated as a full and equal pan- ner. And first and foremost the communicaiions gap with Japan must be overcome. It is good to hear that a group of distin~uished citizens from d l three areas is gening together. . . . Of course, the primary ef- fort in formulating common policies must comefrom the governments concerned. But a non-governmental effort along the lines of Jean Mon- net i Action Committee for a United States of Europe can do much to improve the atmosphere through mmlateml contacts among scholars. economists, industrialists, labor leaders, and journalists.
