Commentary

Commentary is a conservative magazine that, according to its own account 'emerged as the flagship of neoconservatism in the 1970s'.Commentary, About Us. Accessed 8 January 2015.
It is published monthly (except for a combined July-August issue) by the American Jewish Committee. Its editorial line is aligned with Israel's Likud and the US neocons. Founded in 1945, it claims to be "the publication that those who shape public opinion turn to first for in-depth analysis of politics, religion, foreign affairs, social policy, culture, and the arts".'About Commentary', Commentary website, version placed in web archive 20 June 2005, accessed 4 June 2009
==Intellectual home of neoconservatism==
According to its website:
:The magazine is primarily known as the intellectual home of the neoconservative movement, a brand of skeptical thought that emerged as a reaction to the anti-American radicalism of the 1960s and is today vitally engaged in the preservation and spread of democracy and Western values. As part of its historical mission, Commentary has always taken a special interest in Jewish issues and the state of Israel."About Commentary", Commentary website, version placed in web archive 20 June 2005, accessed 4 June 2009

Commission on the Scrutiny Role of Parliament

With the help of a Foundation grant the Hansard Society has established a new Commission to examine how effectively Parliament scrutinises and holds government to account. The Commission is seeking evidence from individuals and organisations on how effectively Parliament operates and how it could be reformed. The Commission's final report will be published in Spring 2001.
The Hansard Society has established a new Commission, chaired by Lord Newton of Braintree, to examine how effectively Parliament scrutinises the work of government and holds the executive to account for its actions. The Commission will conduct an over-arching review of Westminster's scrutiny role paying particular attention to the role of the chamber, the role of the select committees and financial accountability. The investigation will concentrate primarily on the House of Commons but will also take into account the role of the House of Lords and the impact of possible reforms to the second chamber.
Its final report, due to be published in the spring of 2001, will establish a set of core principles for the scrutiny of the executive. It will highlight examples of good practice and, where necessary, recommend changes to ensure effective parliamentary scrutiny of government.
The Commission has issued a consultation papers and invites written submissions. Full details of the issues being investigated are contained in the consultation paper, but the following questions set out the range of the Commission's inquiry:
 * What is the purpose of parliamentary scrutiny?
 * How effective is parliamentary scrutiny? How could it be improved?
 * How effective are select committees in holding government to account?
 * Are parliamentary questions an effective form of scrutiny?
 * Is there adequate scrutiny of government spending?
 * What is the role of the House of Lords in scrutinising government?
 * What is the impact of devolution on government accountability?
 * How can individuals and organisations outside Parliament be better involved in the scrutiny process?
Further information can be obtained from Commission on the Scrutiny Role of Parliament, Hansard Society, 14 Great College Street, London SW1P 3RX. Submissions can be posted to the above address or e-mailed to the Commission.
The Commission's consultation paper can also be downloaded from the Hansard Society website. The closing date for submissions is 14 April 2000.Nuffield Foundation Commission on the Scrutiny Role of Parliament Tue, 15 February 2000

Committee for Cultural Freedom

The Committee for Cultural Freedom was created in 1939 by former Trotskyist philosopher, Sidney Hook, to protest 'totalitarian' - meaning communist as well as fascist - 'acts of cultural dictatorship'.The CIA, the British Left and the Cold War: Calling the Tune? by Hugh Wilford, Frank Cass, 2003, p9.
The Committee was supported by non-communist left periodicals such as the Partisan Review and Sol Levitas's New Leader.The CIA, the British Left and the Cold War: Calling the Tune? by Hugh Wilford, Frank Cass, 2003, p125.
In 1951, Hook would go on to become chairman of the similarly named American Committee for Cultural Freedom, a national section of the CIA-backed Congress for Cultural Freedom.

Committee for Economic Development

G. William Domhoff, writes:
:Concerned primarily with issues of an economic nature, the Committee for Economic Development, which was founded in 1942 by Paul G. Hoffman of Studebaker and the Ford Foundation, is made up of representatives of the nation's leading corporations. As of 1957, 47 of its trustees were also members of the Council on Foreign Relations. Among its chairmen have been Marion B. Folsom of Eastman Kodak; Meyer Kestnbaum of Hart, Schaffner & Marx; J. D. Zellerbach of the Crown-Zellerbach Corporation; and Donald K. David of the Harvard Business School, Ford Foundation, and Atlantic & Pacific Company (A & P). The CED has two major functions, suggesting new economic policies and promoting and improving economic education. For example, a 27-member CED commission made a study which was one of the bases for the Kennedy Administration's tax cut. Among that commission's members were 13 members of the CFR. As of 1957, CED's training program in economics for prospective teachers was being used in 20 colleges, and 20 school systems around the country were trying out a program to introduce economics into the curriculum as early as the first grade. Over 19,000 teachers have participated in the CED's summer workshops on the teaching of economics. In 1961 the committee's information division distributed 3,716,676 books and pamphlets.'

Committee for the Liberation of Iraq

The Committee for the Liberation of Iraq (CLI) was formed in 2002 by the director of the now defunct Project for the New American Century, Bruce Jackson, to "promote regional peace, political freedom and international security by replacing the Saddam Hussein regime with a democratic government."‘Mission Statement’, Archive of CLI Website, accessed 19 July 2010 Neoconservative lobbyist Randy Scheunemann was listed as the president and George Shultz, John McCain and Joseph Lieberman served as "advisors." Investigative journalist Jim Lobe and others have suggested that the CLI was a "spin-off" of PNAC and letterhead organization which relied on its diverse list of hawkish lobbyists and politicians to establish its legitimacy.Right Web Profile, accessed 19 July 2010. 
Following the American overthrow of Iraqi president Saddam Hussein, CLI put this message at the top of its website and took it down shortly after:
:Following the successful liberation of Iraq, the Committee has ceased its operations.
:To contact Randy Scheunemann, President of CLI, please write to the following address: 918 Pennsylvania Avenue, S.E., Washington, DC 20003.

Eli Clifton and Jim Lobe's investigative work has revealed that the Emergency Committee for Israel (ECI) appears to be operating out of the same office as the CLI. Advisor to the ECI Michael Goldfarb provided the following explanation to Salon after a letterhead was sent from the ECI listing the same address as the CLI:
:"I’m on the record as an adviser to ECI and its no secret that I work at Orion, where the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq sign is still proudly displayed on the front of the building. ECI will be opening an office next week, but given the urgency of our cause, getting an office sorted out seemed less pressing than exposing Joe Sestak’s anti-Israel record."Eli Clifton with Jim Lobe 'Emergency Committee Based At Old Committee For The Liberation Of Iraq' Lobelog.com, 15 July 2010

Committee on Financing the BBC

The Committee on Financing the BBC, better known as the Peacock Committee was set up by the Thatcher government. Alan Peacock was appointed to head it.
It was widely expected that the Committee would abolish the licence fee and recommend that the BBC take advertising. However, the final report in fact rejected this option stating:
The main defects of a system based on advertising finance is that channel owners do not sell programmes to audiences, but audiences to advertisers… So long as the present duopoly remains in being and competition is limited to a fringe of satellite and cable services, the introduction of advertising on television is likely to reduce consumer choice and welfare. cited in Damian Green, ‘A Better BBC: public service broadcasting in the 1990s’, Centre for Policy Studies, 10 November 1991; p.27
