A memo from the European section, dated June 11, 1965, advises the Vice-President of the European Economic Community, Robert Marjolin, to pursue monetary union by stealth. It recommends suppressing debate until the point at which "adoption of such proposals would become virtually inescapable".

He has a direct descent from Henry III and from Henry VIII's sister Mary Tudor, who was also the wife of Louis XI of France. He is also descended from Charles II of England. "Never in the history of the United States have two presidential candidates been as well endowed with royal alliances," said Harold Brooks-Baker, pub- lishing director of Burke's Peerage. Brooks-Baker said there had always been a significant "royalty factor" in those who aspired to the White House, with Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan, among oth- ers, all boasting blue-blood links. Democrat candidate Al Gore, who is currently lagging George W. Bush by one point in opinion polls ahead of US elec- tions in November, has a less illustrious gene pool. Being a descendant of Edward I, he is also a cousin of former US President Richard Nixon, who resigned from the White House in 1974 for his part in the Watergate scandal. However, Gore does have direct links to the Holy Roman Empire. He is a descen- dant of Roman Emperors Louis II, Charles II and Louis I and is therefore also a direct descendant of Charlemagne, the eighth- century Emperor. The problem is, Gore's Charlemagne links also make him a cousin of George W. Bush. (Source: Reuters, London, 17 October 2000) eclassified United States government documents show that the US intelli- gence community ran a campaign in the 1950s and 1960s to build momentum for a united Europe. It funded and directed the European federalist movement. The documents confirm suspicions voiced at the time that America was work- ing aggressively behind the scenes to push Britain into a European state. One memo- randum, dated July 26, 1950, gives instruc- tions for a campaign to promote a fully- fledged European Parliament. It is signed by Gen. William J. Donovan, head of the American wartime Office of Strategic Services (OSS), precursor of the CIA. The documents, found by Joshua Paul, a researcher at Georgetown University in Washington, include files released by the US National Archives. Washington's main tool for shaping the European agenda was the American Committee for a United Europe, created in 1948. The chairman was Donovan, osten- sibly a private lawyer by then. The vice- chairman was Allen Dulles, the CIA direc- tor in the 1950s. The board included Walter Bedell Smith, the CIA's first direc- tor, and a roster of ex-OSS figures and officials who moved in and out of the CIA. The documents show that ACUE financed the European Movement, the most important federalist organisation in the post-war years. In 1958, for example, it provided 53.5 per cent of the movement's funds. The European Youth Campaign, an arm of the European Movement, was wholly funded and controlled by Washington. The Belgian director, Baron Boel, received monthly payments into a special account. When the head of the European Movement, Polish-born Joseph Retinger, bridled at this degree of American control and tried to raise money in Europe, he was quickly reprimanded. The leaders of the European Movement—Retinger, the visionary Robert Schuman and the former Belgian Prime Minister Paul-Henri Spaak—were all treated as hired hands by their American sponsors. The US role was han- dled as a covert operation. ACUE's fund- ing came from the Ford and Rockefeller foundations as well as business groups with close ties to the US government. The head of the Ford Foundation, ex- BUSH BEATS GORE IN THE BLUE-BLOOD STAKES f royal genes have anything to do with electoral success, then Republican US presidential candidate George W. Bush will be the next man in the White House, according to Britain's blue blood "bible". Burke's Peerage, a respected guide to the breeding of the aristocracy, said that both Bush and his rival Al Gore are of royal descent, but investigations deep into their heritage show Bush has far more noble and royal connections. Bush is closely related to every European monarch on and off the throne— including the King of Albania—and has kinship with every member of Britain's royal family, the House of Windsor. He is a 13th cousin of Britain's Queen Mother, and of her daughter Queen Elizabeth, and is a 13th cousin once removed of the heir to the throne, Prince Charles. Bush's family tree can be docu- —~—.
