Dear Friends,
After having read recently that the televised presidential debates were not
going to include Nader or Buchanan, I wanted to find out more about the
organization which decided that 15% support is necessary to be included in
the debates.
So after looking up the history of the foundation of the Commision on the
Presidential Debates (CDP) at
http://www.debates.org/pages/report.html#findings
we find that it was created in 1987 after two study groups issued reports
recommending this.
The first report was done in 1985 by the Center for Strategic and
International Studies. We know that their board of trustees has 32 members
of which 18 are Council on Foreign Relations members. To see this, compare
list of board members of CSIS
http://www.csis.org/html/csislead.html
with the CFR membership list
http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/2807/CFR97list.html
The second report was done in 1986 by the Twentieth Century Foundation
(formerly the Twentieth Century Fund). We find that the TCF board of
trustees
http://www.tcf.org/About_TCF/Board_of_Trustees.html
has 27 members, of which 12 are Council on Foreign Relations members
(compare the TCF trustee list to the CFR list above).
I feel that Buchanan and Nader should be included. The Commission on the
Presidential Debates was created to exclude people like Nader and Buchanan
and to limit the debate to include only those candidates "hand picked" by
Council on Foreign Relations members and their rich and powerful friends.
Sincerely,
Eric Yandell
