BACKGROUND STATEMENT

THE BILDERBERG MEETINGS

I. Origin

In the early 1950's, a number of people on both sides of the Atlantic sought a means of bringing together leading citizens, both in and out of government, for informal discussions of problems facing the Atlantic community. Such meetings, they felt, would create a better understanding of the forces and trends affecting Western nations; in particular, they believed that direct exchanges could help to clear up differences and misunderstandings that might weaken the West.

The first meeting that brought Americans and Europeans together took place under the chairmanship of H. R. H. Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands at the Bilderberg Hotel in Oosterbeek, Holland, from May 29 to May 31, 1954. Ever since, the meetings have been called Bilderberg Meetings.

II. Participants

It was obvious from the first that the success of the meetings would depend primarily on the level of the participants. Leading figures from many fields -- industry, labor, education, government, etc. -- are invited, who, through their special knowledge or experience, can help to further the Bilderberg objective of better knowledge and understanding. Government officials attend in a personal and not an official capacity.

Bilderberg, page 2.

To insure full discussion, an attempt is made to include participants representing many political and economic points of view.

Each year since its inception, Prince Bernhard has been the Bilderberg chairman. There are no "members" of Bilderberg. Each year an invitation list is compiled by Prince Bernhard in consultation with an informal international steering committee; individuals are chosen in the light of their knowledge and standing. Of the 80 to 100 participants, approximately one-third are from government and politics. From the beginning participants have come from North America and Western Europe, and from various international organizations. The official languages are English and French.

The meetings take place in a different country each year. Since 1957, they have been held in many Western European countries and in North America as well.

The discussion at each meeting is centered upon topics of current concern in the broad fields of foreign policy, world economy, and other contemporary issues. Basic groundwork for the symposium is laid by means of working papers and general discussion follows. In order to assure freedom of speech and opinion, the gatherings are closed and off the record. No resolutions are proposed, no votes taken, and no policy statements issued during or after the meetings.
