Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies

The Committee To Defend America By Aiding The Allies (CDAAA), also known as the William Allen White Committee after its nominal chairman, was a front group for British Security Coordination(BSC) in the US in the early years of the Second World War.Thomas E. Mahl, Desperate Deception, Brassey's, 1999, p.24
In 1940, the British Ministry of Information sought a direct telephone link with the Committee, but was dissuaded by the ambassador, Lord Lothian who said:
::It would be most disastrous to the William Allen White Committee were it ever to be established that it was communicating and collaborating with any branch of His Majesty's Government.Thomas E. Mahl, Desperate Deception, Brassey's, 1999, p.42
The Committee's offices were at 8 West 40th Street, New York City, which housed a number of other pro-British organisations including the League of Nations Association, Sandy Griffith's Market Analysts Inc. and the Nonpartisan Committee to Defeat Hamilton Fish.Thomas E. Mahl, Desperate Deception, Brassey's, 1999, p.109
After America's entry into the war, the committee was renamed Citizens for Victory.Ted Morgan, A Covert Life, Random House, 1999, p.37.
==Goals==
The Committee's key aims were to ensure the repeal of neutrality laws which impeded the flow of goods to Britain and France, and to ensure that both Republicans and Democrats nominated presidential candidates friendly to the allies.Thomas E. Mahl, Desperate Deception, Brassey's, 1999, p.42
==Activities==
The Committee's William Allen White News Service, headed by John Balderston, was based at the Rockefeller Center in New York, along with British Security Coordination and a number of other fronts.Thomas E. Mahl, Desperate Deception, Brassey's, 1999, p.41
The Committee acted as a BSC cutout in sponsoring propaganda broadcasts on radio station WRUL.Thomas E. Mahl, Desperate Deception, Brassey's, 1999, p.44 It was also one of a number of British fronts which sponsored opinion polls by the BSC-controlled Market Analysts Inc.Thomas E. Mahl, Desperate Deception, Brassey's, 1999, p.78
In 1941, David Dubinsky hired Jay Lovestone to run the Committee's labour division.Ted Morgan, A Covert Life, Random House, 1999, p.37. 
==Postwar legacy==
Twelve members of the CDAAA went on to become members of the 1950 Committee on the Present Danger.Jerry Wayne Sanders, Peddlers of Crisis, South End Press, 1983, p60.

Committee to Maintain a Prudent Defense Policy

The Committee to Maintain a Prudent Defence Policy (CMPDP) was a group active in 1969, which lobbied Congress in favour of continued support for anti-ballistic missile (ABM) systems.James Mann, Rise of the Vulcans: The History of Bush's War Cabinet, Penguin, 2004, p.31. 
The committee was founded by Dean Acheson and Paul Nitze to fend off liberal opposition to the ABM, the most expensive item in a defense budget facing growing scrutiny as a result of the unpopularity of the Vietnam War.James Mann, Rise of the Vulcans: The History of Bush's War Cabinet, Penguin, 2004, pp.31-32. 
Albert Wohlstetter recruited a number of graduate students to work in the Committee's office; including two of his own students at the University of Chicago, Paul Wolfowitz and Peter Wilson, and Richard Perle from Princeton. As part of their work they drafted material for Henry Jackson, the leading ABM supporter in he Senate. In late summer 1969, the Senate approved the system by 51 votes to 50, the closest vote on a major national defense program since 1941.James Mann, Rise of the Vulcans: The History of Bush's War Cabinet, Penguin, 2004, p.32.

===Member speaks out over government's refusal to name arms firms selling under controversial 'open licence' scheme===
According to Middle East Eye, Lloyd Russell-Moyle, a Labour MP who sits on CAEC said that government ministers had refused to reveal the names of arms firms linked to open licence applications. 'Open licences in effect give a carte blanche to UK arms companies to transfer as many arms under a named category as they like to a specific country," he said.
He added: "Only the firm knows how many weapons are being sent. The public doesn't know, not even CAEC knows and we are supposed to be the parliamentary body tasked with scrutinising the government."

Commonwealth Games 2014

==The Cost of the Games==
In March 2008, the cost of hosting the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow was estimated at £373m, with the stadium alone estimated at £98m and the Scottish Parliament only meeting 80% of costs.Gerry Braiden, Finance experts sign up for 2014 Games: Ernst and Young recruited to keep project on budget, The Herald, 17 March 2008, p.4.
While the city has staked a large part of its events-based tourism strategy on showpieces like the Commonwealth Games as part of regenerating Glasgow,Glasgow's Tourism Strategy to 2016Co-published by Glasgow City Marketing Bureau, Glasgow City Council, Scottish Enterprise and VisitScotland, 2007 (accessed 4 April 2008) the Games do not have a good track-record for generating revenue. According to reports, they led to 'financial meltdown in Edinburgh when it hosted the Games in 1986 [which] led to the city reporting a £ 3 million deficit on a £ 27 billion budget. South of the Border, the experience of Manchester is similarly worrying. The company behind the 2002 Games came within hours of insolvency until the Government rode to the rescue with an extra £ 105 million in public subsidies.'Gabriel Rozenberg, 'City's resurgence has been built on arts, leisure and tourism', The Times, 10 November 2007, p.7.
==Costly Junkets==
Since Glasgow won the bid, the campaign has been mired in controversy, largely due to the travel costs run up by members of its steering group including Bailie Liz Cameron, Glasgow City Council Leader, Steven Purcell, and Chief Executive of Culture and Sport Glasgow, Bridget McConnell.
Following initial resistance to release figures under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act, Kevin Dunion ruled that Glasgow City Council must co-operate. This revealed that a £5 million fund had been set up by the Scottish Executive and Glasgow City Council to meet expenses incurred in winning the bid, with representatives of the Glasgow team visiting 68 countries in seven months, staying at top hotels as far afield as Asia and the Caribbean at a cost to taxpayers of £250,000.
The ceremony in Sri Lanka at which the winning bid was announced was attended by 46 Scots councillors, MSPs and their wives, costing £100,000.Paul Drury, 'Revealed, the secret costs of 2014 that they didn't want you to find out', Mail on Sunday, 24 February 2008, p.33.

Communications Streams and Radicalisation

See main article: Estimating network size and tracking information dissemination amongst Islamic blogs
 
Communications Streams and Radicalisation was the name of a £27,666 Economic and Social Research Council grant given to Dr David Stevens of the University of Nottingham to study 'radical blogs'. The research was conducted from January to March 2008, in collaboration with the UK Government's 'counter terrorism' group the Research, Information and Communications Unit (RICU). The description of the grant given on ESRC's website states:
The purpose of the placement is to conduct a study of radical weblogs (‘Blogs’) over the period of the placement, as well as to provide more general advice and assistance on RICU business. The nature of this study is somewhat sensitive. Consequently, the exact aims and outcomes of the project will not be publicised. In general terms, however, identification of a community of bloggers, and a hierarchical structuring in terms of importance forms its core business.In addition to this stand-alone project it was also agreed that participation in seminars, presentation of work, commenting on other issues of interest to RICU staff, and fortnightly reporting on issues of interest arising from Blog monitoring would be undertaken, as well as providing any specialist advice on fundamentalist recruitment and beliefs, as and when requested. Economic and Social Research Council, Communications Streams and Radicalisation
The research components of the placement was compiled into a report completed in April 2008, but not published by the Home Office until March 2010. The report - titled Estimating network size and tracking information dissemination amongst Islamic blogs - ranked 'Islamic' blogs according to their 'network' structure of hyperlinks.
