-Caveat Lector-
Doing what the Rhodes Scholarship does for the CFR,
this is one of Lord Carrington's Bilderberger "front groups,"
recruiting Anglophiles from a younger "high tech" crowd.
Sponsor corporations today include Apple Computer,
Texas Instruments, Honeywell, MONSANTO ...

THE BRITISH-AMERICAN PROJECT
http://www.bilderberg.org/bap.htm
(There is little information available about this elitist
group. It seems to be "self selecting" group who pretend to
'define' the transatlantic relationship. No mention here of
building links between native americans and marginalised groups
in the UK. The agenda is corporate, the ideology is capitalist,
hardly a fair reflection of the best in future transatlantic
potential.)
In their own words: What is the British-American Project?
"The British-American Project exists to reinforce the
long-standing special ties between the United States and Britain
by bringing together young people from the two countries who have
achieved distinction in their chosen fields. The Project's
primary activity is an annual intensive four-day conference,
which brings together 24 exceptional people from each side of the
Atlantic to tackle a specific issue of importance to both
countries.
"Delegates are chosen for proven leadership in their field,
and are drawn from a wide range of backgrounds and views; they
include senior representatives from business, government, the
media, voluntary /non-profit organizations, law, medicine, and
the armed forces.
"Since its first conference in 1985, the British-American
Project has built an influential Fellowship of more than 600
members, many of whom return to the annual conference in
subsequent years. The success of the Project is remarkable, and
its impact on those who attend lasting."
"You discuss ideas, you face challenges, you have your
prejudices questioned, you make friends, you learn a lot and you
have fun. It's an incredibly worthwhile venture."
--The Rt. Hon. Chris Smith, MP, Secretary of State for
Culture, Media & Sport, UK Fellow
While the Fellows return at their own expense, the Project
funds the attendance of participants in their first year to
ensure the broadest possible gathering of talent. In addition,
the Project produces newsletters and reports on conference
deliberations to promote deeper trans-Atlantic ties.
The Project is run by its Fellowship whose elected officers
and its Advisory Board, led by the Rt. Hon LORD CARRINGTON
[[Rothschild descendant, leader of the Bilderberg Group and
Council on Foreign Relations, and former NATO President]] manage
its development.
Their challenge is to ensure the long-term financial
viability of the Project so that its valuable and distinctive
contribution to Anglo-American relations can continue.
