Frontier Atlantic Union Now_.

In this new book, Streit expresses jubilation about the NATO Citizens
Commission Law; and, on the second page of the first chapter, he says:

"One change in the picture, which has seemed too slight or too
recent to be noted yet by the general public, seems to me so
significant as to give in itself reason enough for new faith in
freedom's future, and for this new effort to advance it. On
September 7, 1960, President Eisenhower signed an act of Congress
authorizing a United States Citizens Commission on NATO to
organize and participate in a Convention of Citizens of North
Atlantic Democracies with a view to exploring fully and
recommending concretely how to unite their peoples better."

_The Atlantic Union News_ (published by the Atlantic Union Committee,
Inc.) in the September, 1960, issue presents an exultant article under
the headline "AUC Victorious: Resolution Signed by President Becomes
Public Law 86-719."

The article says:

"Members of the Atlantic Union Committee could certainly be
forgiven if by now they had decided that the Resolution for an
Atlantic Exploratory Convention would never pass both Houses of
Congress. However, it has just done so. It was signed into law by
the President September 7, 1960. The incredible size of this
victory is hard, even for us in Washington, to comprehend...."

Who actually runs Clarence Streit's Atlantic Union Committee which

Council on Foreign Relations! The three top officials of the Atlantic
Union Committee are members of the CFR: Elmo Roper, President; William
L. Clayton, Vice President; and Lithgow Osborne, Secretary.

As of December, 1960, there were 871 members of the Atlantic Union
Committee. Of these, 107 were also members of the Council on Foreign
Relations. The December, 1960, membership list of the AUC is in Appendix
II of this volume. Each Council on Foreign Relations member is
designated on that list with CFR in parentheses after his name.

The NATO Citizens Commission Law of 1960 provided that the Speaker of
the House and the Vice President should select 20 persons to serve on
the Commission. In March, 1961, Sam Rayburn and Lyndon Johnson ap
