...The CIA Backs the Common Market

by Steve Weissman, Phil Kelly, and Mark Hosenball

Cord Meyer Jr.'s main task as head of the U.S. Central Intelli-
gence Agency's operation here may be to ensure Britain's entry
into the Common Market. New evidence developed by investi-
gators in Britain and America shows that Meyer and his prede-
cessor as head of the CIA's International Organization Division,
Tom Braden, engaged in a major operation in the 1950s and 60s
to secretly build up the groups which are now pushing Britain
into Europe.

The European Movement, the elite international pressure
group which takes much of the credit for the founding of the
Common Market, took secret U.S. funding. Its British Council
is currently leading the "Keep Britain In" Campaign. The Euro-
pean Youth Campaign, which was the European Movement's
most active component in the Fifties, was almost totally funded
by the American government. Members of organizations affili-
ated to the campaign are still active in pro- Europe circles.
