    THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION AND THE CFR CONNECTION
    -------------------------------------------------

The privately run Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and Trilateral 
Commission (TC), through their memberships, have been able to wield
extraordinary influence over U.S. government decision-making for decades.
As this (incomplete) list shows, the Clinton Administration is no
exception.  If the CFR and TC memberships numbered in the millions,
perhaps the dominance of these members would not be so notable.
But the CFR's total membership is only about 3,000 and the TC list
approximately 100 members from North America.
