A good example of what transpires at these important Annual Meetings is described in the minutes of this meeting of the international elites who form the membership of the Aspen Institute. Some quotes follow: “One of the direct outcomes was the Aspen Institute’s participation in Philadelphia’s Bicentennial Era Program ‘A Declaration of Interdependence’…Harlan Clelveland helped this imaginative enterprise, a project of the World Affairs Council…The program in International Affairs has also been active in forming a new non-profit organization ‘Global Perspectives in Education, Inc.’ with Clark Kerr as Chairman and Harlan Cleveland as Vice Chairman to develop teaching suggestions and public support for international curriculum in United States elementary and secondary schools.”
