The theme for tll.is uroup is built around the issue of development in the postwar period of South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore. Hong Kong and Japan. These nations share a lack of wealth in natural resour ces, but an unusual development of management and production skills. The social, cultural and religiOUS development of these nations be coces a critical issue, along with their political and economic develop ment.
GROUP
The theme for this Group is buUt around the issue of the postwar emergence of a group of nations which would include but not be limited to the large oil and gas exporting nations of the Uiddle East, North Africa, Africa and Latin America. :.tost of these nations were colonies at the time of the "first industrial revolution." Havin

gained independence in the postwar period and having had a decade or two of experience in that independent state, these nations nave resources which might fuel their participation in their own or joint development programs. They are almost uniforcly troubled and frustrated in their attempts to participate in a "second industrial revolution" on their own terms.
The theme for this Group is built around the issues of postwar devel opment and future thrust of the veterans of the first industrial revolution who are bein~ called upon (the "Brandt Report " is a recent example) to assist their former colonies/suppliers into new stages of economic development (e. g'., USA. England. France. West Cermany, etc.). These are the industrial giants "hich are develop ing- neVi views of the objectives of national development. which have had the greatest experience in international planning for trade and development - and which have seen great dissatisfaction with their systems' performance both internally and as their performance affects other national groups. This is probably the place to consider the "only surviving postwar eiDpire'" - the Russian anachronism.

The theme for this Group is built around the issue of the "les8 de veloped countries"; the nations which have emerged or reemerged as independent states in a state of "chronic poverty"; the nations for wnor.l freedom has included the bitter in greater Jneasure than the 8\feet all too often. This is a group of nations which have been tossed into "classificatiolls" and lar~ely forgotten (e.g . Sub-Saharan - Africa).

Since there have been so many conferences on energy since 1973, we ought 'to focus on aspects of energy that have not been overworked ad nause8ln. Our general theme is whether we are soon to be en trapped by the entropy law, or whether the intelligent deployment of existing energy technologies is likely to avert the catastrophes iJreached by the entropists. Topics that might he touched upon include:
1)
2) 3) 4) 5)
oil)
Is conservation of energy (as opposed to conservation of a truly relevant strate:;y during the next twenty years?
The rediscovery of electricity - that is, the claim by tech .nological optimists that substitution of electricity generated from c\l8l or uranium could ease the 011 crisis. This mifht include a discussion of the outlook for electric transport. The problem of intermittency in renewable energy systems. Can the storage problelR of renewabIes really be solved? What energy technologies are appropriate for developing countries - for example, hydro verSl1S trendier renewables? Can nuclear energy be salvaged?

The first paper. "Can we escape from the entropy trap?". in a \fay is a keynote for the entire Committee. This paper ought to delJcribe the entropy trap as envisaged by the Neo-Malthusians. and then ou~ht to discuss' the relevance of these gloomy predictions during the transi tion period as well as point to paths for avoiding the trap. The second paper shOUld consider the outlook for minerals. For example. Limits to Growth claims that we shall run out of aluminum in less than Mty years. '-'by is that assertion wrong? What about other minerals? Is the crisis in oU likely to be repeated with other minerals? lihat about substitution for minerals that are in short supply? The final paper ought to examine the extent to which genetic engi neering and other biological advances are likely to ease problems of food and enern production. The issue of recombinant DNA might be mentioned. but mainly in the context of its promise - say. for devel opment of nitrogen ('lXing cereals - rather than the context of the ethical problems it poses.

The entropy crisis encompasses 80clal disorganization as well as phys ical pollution. Are the new technologies of information part of the problem or part of the solution - or both? The papers here should ~rimar1ly give an account of the state of the art in information sys tems. microprocessors. and infolT.1ation utilities as they address the prior question the social icJplications of these developments should be included.

The second paper could elaborate on some of the themes discussed by Daniel J. Elazar in his paper, "Constitutionalism. Federalism and the Post-Industrial American Policy." The centralizationl decentralization Issue wtll probably become even more urgent during the transient period. The underlying political issue, described by EIazar as Feder alists vs. Jacobin Democracy, needs discussion. The third paper could examine appropriate technology in a social context. For exalDple, is "appropriate technology" a useful instru ment of economic development for LDe's? Is Small really Beautiful, or is it simply poor?

Many changes based Of! increased automation and new industrial technology will have taken place during the transitional period. Group B will deal with their logical uevelopments. to the time when f space colonization is practicable and many of what we now consider r "supertechnologies" are commonplace. Communications methods 10ay both make travel easier and reduce the need to travel. On the other, hand. the "post-industrial society" may be a reality. and there may be a great movement to return to the simple life and an interest in the "primitive." f
Today science. or at least "applied science" is generally thought to be concerned with the improvement of human welfare and the devel opment of technology for the benefit of mankind. Will science con tinue to develop in this way. or will we have reached. at least in some fields. the limits of technological progress? VIllI science there fore be more concerned with extending the limits of human under standinliC. and with giving satisfaction to its practitioners?

For the past 200 years European, Christian civilization has been tech nically superior to Asian civilization and, for most of that period, numerically inferior. The period of Euro-American technological predominance has come to an end and, In the area of industry and commerce, the question is being asked: Wha~ can the West learn from the way the Japanese, Koreans and other Asians org'anize their econ k I omy and society? However, the organization of the economy is an expression of the larger issue of the values that move a community. id In the past, Asian clvilization has taken much from the West. Un doubtedly the Impact of Asia on the West will grow as the West con fronts the continuing success of Asian technological civilization and I worldwide communication makes each culture more readily accessible to the other. Because of the location of the Conference, the G roup will focus on East Asia. I

With the development of quantum physics and relativity theory, the older meChanistic cosmology gave way to a new order in physics. In the brain sciences recent developments point, toward similar develop ments. Interestingly, this "new" order, appreciated scientifically has many features in common with older traditions of Eastern and Western thought. This development heralds a new age of unity in the 21st century..

I have read a traIIscript of oral argg, meat. aad I bave read most of the briefJ irI .', ,. . tbe case, includiDg a brief filed J-y baU Zl dozeD' religious orpni'-atioDl in Moon's behalf. Viewed.simply as a matter ,of criminal lits Iiviq' messia1l; the, very embodimeot~ of law, the record does. not. establisb Moon~s this re~movemeot. . gvi1t be~,a.reasoaable doubl Viewed as a' " Tl1e government's: principal' cl1arge matter of constitutional law, tberecord against MooII.'bad,to do,with'bamncCOUDts raises most serious issues UDder the First maiDta1JIed ia his DIlDIe at Chase Manhattan Amendmenl. in New York. OVer a period of three years Let me quote from the 'brief filed br. (1973-75),' the accounts earned more than 1100,000 in interest. The government conb P Sa E various res yterian, pUst, piscopa, tends tbat this interest Wal:JeI10Dal iDcome Unitarian and Catholic associations, led by ..:..... . tile National Council of Cburches:' "(We) to MOOD, on wui.:u be aho d bave paid Instress that (oar) fillnl ot this brief is motivatcome tales.

"(We) are motivated, 'There was indeed SOIDe eVidence that nevertl1eless, by deep alarm at the means by Mooa regarded the Chase accouuts as peeuwhich defendant MOOD'S conviction was see lLarly subject to bia own discretion.

is widely feared. For these reasoDS, Moon asked to be tried not by a jury that mipt be prejudiced but rather by a Judge whO pre .. sumably would be impartial. . The gavenuneut resisted Mooo's motion for. . reason above all o~ It was to pUDish Mooll for making a speecb and for buying fuP-page ads to denoullCe the govem~ ment's .motives' in' selectively prosecuting him. The rigbt to a mal by jury is the right of an accused; he can waive that rigbt' if" be, wisheL It is'almost UDJ1eard oHor the gov emment to insist that a jury' be.. impaueled: ' agaiDSt a defendaat's motioD. In tbe' Moon case. the government acted from pure vindic tiveness. At the heart of tbe case is an establishmeat of religion, coupled. with the. right of Moon's followers freely to exercise their reli gion by entrusting large sums of money to .their suplJOS8l!' messiah. Moon's lawyers, led by ProfesSor Laurence H. Tribe of Harvard, do not SUISelt tbat ministers are exempt from the tax laws that apply to everyone else. Their contention is that religious beliefs must betaken into account in ~ivil and criminal contexta, and that by stu4iously exeluding religion from the case, Moon was denied a fair trial. It is not necessary to like this KOreaJl guru to say, aJ I must, that he got a bum rap. It is small, wODde~ tbat other' churches are alarmed.

While various governmental and private agencies insure against political risk and cur rency inconvertibility, an internationally-based agency would gain greater acceptance in the developing countries. Since the various studies for such an agency by the World Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank, and the United Nations have not reached fruition, the conference suggests that a new effort be made to form an international insurance agency which would bring together capital-exporting and capital-importing countries, as well as the various national agencies currently engaged in this task. The agency would be funded initially by the member countries until the fees charged reduce the need for such national contributions. The agency should be empowered to originate insurance, to coinsure or to reinsure. national6rprivate. companies. An interna tional im'estment insurance agency would have the distinct advantage of standardizing inr--~-=~--~vestiTIe-nts-;-contracts;-fees-;-ancl-centT0]s-of.l ..disbursements,,_and of eliminating hidden ex port subsidies that have encouraged injudicious lending.
1
(2) Export-financing agencies of the industrial countries should be empowered to make loans for projects repayable in kind rather than In cash. Repayment of the loans in cash should be delayed until the project financed by the loans begins to earn the means of repayment.
The export-financing agencies which acquire the goods used in repayment could dispose of these goods through private intermediaries. This arrangement would save the develop ing country from having to come up with cash immediately, a requirement which depletes that country's ability to finance other development and to achieve general econorrUc growth.
I ...
The mutual confidence between borrowing and lending countries through their joint administration would also have distinct political advantag~s. A working group under the leadership of the Global Economic Action Institute should be established to formulate details of such an organization.
17
Additionally, in assessing the credit-worthiness of a borrower, the financing agency should consider not only the immediate ability of the developing country to generate foreign exchange but also the value of readily-accessible proven reserves and other recognized and available assets of the borrowing country. For example, proven mineral reserves or standing timber could be utilized as security for loans. Currently, developing countries are often forced to sell their commodities in depressed markets, at distressed prices, to satisfy current-account requirements. The more they sell, the less they earn. The proposed switch would enable them to fund their needs on an asset basis, and improve their credit ratings by conserving proven reserves. World creditors would be assured of repayment on the basis of recognized assets.
"
(3) New instrumentalities should be created to help transform short-term paper into long term producti\re investments.
The massive movement of short-term paper in international markets tOday-estimated at many billions of dollars and growing-frustrates national monetary policy, destabilizes exchange rates, and threatens long-term confidence in the dollar. The following steps would be useful:
- A private multinational development-banking entity should be created for the purpose of recycling expatriated funds back to the developing countries of origin.
The flight of private capital is a serious problem for many developing countries. A new entity which could offer solidly-backed bearer shares and convertible debentures to the ho!ders of such wealth would help retain capital in those countries. The entity could be backed by governments-perhaps by central banks. The entity could then invest in .; ,development projects. Such a development bank could playa constructive role in finding the proper balance between austerity and indulgence for the refinancing of developing economies. The creation of such a bank was envisioned in the 1983 report of the Ba~ for International Settlements.
- Appropriate institutions should be created on a regional basis to borrow from financial markets and finance investments in productive projects, provide export credit. and aet as a clean"ng agent for trade agreements among member countries.
Mechanisms for arbitrating investment disputes should be improved and supported, especially with respect to compliance with the arbitrators' decisions. Risk insurance would make long~term investments more attractive to the commercial lending conununity.
--..---Qpgn-special-..Windo.ws_acrb.c..IFC and IDA,-E!...!et up new supra-national institutions,. that would work closely with the central banks ofless-develope71 co'"tlhtiJes7irborrow------ or guarantee development loans on the international money market.

The deficit of the public sector should be in a proper relationship with the flow of
'savings, taking into account the demand for savings by the private sector.
Lack of commitment to this principle in the United States and other countries has
led to excessive capital market borrowing. This in turn has brought about a "real" rate
of interest which is far too high and fundamentally detrimental to private investment.
._.
. .
The achievement of an appropriate balance between the demand for and supply of
money and credit should be the prime objective of monetary policy. Some countries may
seek to formulate the goal of monetary policy in terms of a stable relationship between
the supply of money and the growth of real national income defined in terms of trend.
Other countries may wish to put more emphasis on influencing interest rates and the
availability of credit. The approach adopted and the techniques used to achieve the basic
objectives should be left to the political and monetary authorities in the various countries.
In instances where the money supply is adopted as a guide, reliance should be placed on
quarterly or even annual money supply figures, and weekly statistics should be de
emphasized. The short-term focus caused by paying too much attention to volatile weekly
figures can have very destabilizing effects.
-~--~---~
19
..
Consultation and coordination of policies is indispensable to achieving greater stability . in foreign exchange rates and in achieving lower interest rates. The institutional framework for such coordination has not been working satisfactorily and nceds to be improved. The United States, United Kingdom, West Gennany and Japan have a panicular respon sibility, as the nations representing the most important currencies, to create an "island of sta.bility" as an anchor to all world currencies.
20
';
- Establishing international banking guidelines which could aid lending institutions in setting limits on sovereign loans to developing countries. Such guidelines should be recommended and monitored by the IMF.
Nations should come to acknowledge that their economic sovereignty can be threatened by excessive accumulation of debt. On the other hand, international agreement on the acceptable limits of debt that should be accumulated by countries in specified circumstances is no more threatening than the imposition by lenders of similar standards on borrowers in domestic capital markets. In this area, prevention would be less injurious to the n:itional interest of developing countries than the cures required by crisis management. Achievement of this objective would require improved disclosure of total existing debt by all countries.
- Helping developing countries assess the pace at which development can realistically be achievecfwithin the monetal)' and fiscal resources of the developed countries. Private institutions, however, should not be infringed. Commercial banks should be free to make their own decisions regarding loans, and private investors should be free to pursue their own investment policies.
VI. Conclusion
___
TI:I"':::a
Debtor and creditor nations have an equal interest in the effective functioning of the international monetary system. Policies that result in punitive action against either debtors or creditors for past misdeeds would only make the situation worse for all. Swift action is needed based on policies designed to reduce immediate financial strains and assure more prudent international lending in the future. . '
VII. Disagreelnent
The proposals in this report reflects only a concensus. Individual partIcIpants sometimes disagreed with the recommendations and will speak for themselves from time to time.

Midway between the international airport and the city. the Hotel Intercontinental Gen~ve. like its prestigious neighbour the United Nations, is ,exceprion3l1y well-loc3ted.
My Most Respected Colleagues: I welcome each of you to the "World Conference on Economic and Social Order."
I know many of you agree that, given the urgency of the global monetary situation, this
co~ld well be one of the most important meetings of the decade. The following is a plan to
make our stay most productive. ~.
It is hoped that before the last full day and a half of the meeting, drafts on every proposed recommendation will be in the h;;nds of each member of the conference, so that we can each give adequate consideration to the final proposals before adjournment.
I have given much thought to the implementation of proposals generated by the conference, once our meeting has adjourned. There will be many avenues open to us, and I will be anxious to hear your recommendations on this point. The recommendations of the Conference will be published and made available to all international monetary institutions and any other interested organizations. Also, we intend to form, with your help, an -----lifRast-it-u.tc-c<l-pab1e-~tingiti g~esC,-ideaS-to_the..a.tteDtiQIl...Ql.t..be yarious nat ion al ggyern men ts of the world. We further hope to use existing organizations as vehicles by which to ~ducate the voting publics of the World.
It is my hope that as each of you shares my feelings of urgency and seriousness, we can pool our collective insights, creativity, and influence to overcome a series of problems that threaten our global society.
Warmest Regards, Robert B. Anderson
We plan, as a matter of effective procedure, to establish a series of-small cor,'nmittees, each being asked to draft as early as possible, a proposed course of action for the solution of a specific problem. As soon as a draft is prepared by the committee, it will be circulated to every member of the conference for comments and suggestions.
,x.
1. The role of Central Banks in the current debt crisis.
2. Commercial banks: Internal and external debts. How do we insure the banking s)'stcm?
3. How do we maintain appropriate capital flows to less developed countries during the
current debt crisis?
8. Is there a role for gold in the monetary s)'stem and do we need a world agreement on
gold ownership and use?
9. Should consideration be given to a common currency in view of the dollar reserves in all
central banks? If no common currency is possible, should there be a supplemental
currency?
10. How do we secure productive investment of the large a-li'10UJ1t of floating capital around the world?

Introduction
The yonferees believe that the unprecedented debt of the developing countries and the issuance of all national currencies against principally dollar reserves pos~s a potential threat to international finance, trade, and economic growth, and requires a global response from all nations . ~_ _~_ After a week of deliberations, some rcconunend8.tions were produced for consideration.
The World Conference on Economic and Social Order, held in Geneva, Switzerland August 21 to 26, 1983, brought together many of the world's leading authorities on the international economy. The monetary experts, bankers, businessmen and academicians from 23 countries came together, under the chainnanship of Former Secretary of the United States Treasury Robert B. Anderson, out of their common, urgent concern for the state of the world monetary system and the economy. A list of those who attended can be found at the end of this report.
S~mmary
of Proposals
7. The IMF should provide contingency plans for each debtor nation in case economic
recovery is not sustained.
8. An international insurance organization, including both insured and insurers, should
be established.
9. Debtor nations should prepare to convert some assets to selvice existing debts. 10. Export financing agencies of governments should be empowered to make project loans with repayments in kind. 11. The General Agte.ement_on_Tar-i.f.fs-a-nd-'tFade,~A.-"h-T~h0t}lc:i4>e-str-engthened------' and empowered to monitor and expose the nature of protectionist and neo-protectionist measures. 12. International mechanisms must be instituted to prevent violent movement in exchange rates. 13. The United States must accept a large measure of responsibility in protecting dollar stability, since dollars ar.e the principal reserves of all central banks. 14. A Global Economic Action Institute will be establisJ1ed bringing together leading monetary experts, bankers, businessmen, and academicians to implement these and other appropriate recommendations through international action.
..,
". The universal use of dollars as reserves in the central banking system imposes upon
-.
the United States a special responsibility to maintain stability in the intrinsic worth of the dollar as a place to store long-term value.
The Conference does not believe it is practical to consider the reinstitution of gold as the principal reserve against which all currencies can be issued. The Conference believes there is no realistic substitute for the dollar as central bank reserves against which other currencies are issued. The Conference-expressed the hope that the United S:ates would pursue fiscal and monetary policies consistent with the important role of the dollar in the international monetary system.
The fiscal and monetary policies of the United States are central to the maintenance of a stable international economy.
The Conference noted .that instability and dollar inflation is immediately exported to countries who hold dollar reserves as a basis for their own currencies.

The following constitutes the First Report of the World Conference on Economic and Social Order.
(!
, .
I. Overview
The World Conference on Economic and Social Order believes the enormous debt of developing countries threatens to cause a worldwide banking crisis and economic upheaval. This urgent problem requires the immediate attention of the major industrial and debtor nations, as well as leaders of the private banking system.. Additional remedial action is required within the next several months. Although'the threat is real and imminent, the world economic system is capable of solving the debt problem. Debt levels of developing countries are large in relation to the resources of the international banking system. Banks collectively do have large capital resources, but the latter are not sufficient to absorb simultaneous loan losses from many developing countries. Yet, the total debts are not large in relation to total world assets. There is currently a surplus of world liquidi!y in the system.
Attempting merely to "muddle through" exceptionally high debt levels risks serious consequences. Any assumption that "the storm has passed" would not be justified. The $750 billion debt of the developing countries is straining the worldwide monetary and economic system. Swift action is needed, based on the realistic cooperation of governments, legislatures, and financial institutions around the world. 'The ability of the developing countries to resolve their debt problems is hampered by: inadequate governmenW support for the international lending agencies; excessive volatile foreign excbange rates;
_ _ _ _ _-_-~d.=..e~~.~n'-=d~e""n,..,ce"'-""by~l11.raLbanks-oRth.e-dal1ar. ...the-xalue_of_Which-is_being th[e.a~~ by large structural budget deficits in the United States; net capiW exports by some developing countries during critical growth years, as a result of demands for debt repayment;
Debtor nations must be held accountable for their debts. But the repayment of these debts is being made necessarily difficult by the over-reaction of some financial insitutions. Adjustment programs-spearheaded by the International Monetary Fund-should not set unrealistic balance of payments targets which could result in premature transfer of resources from developing countries to creditor countries. Such a result would hanlper the economic growth on which the developing countries must depend to work their way out of debt.
persistent inflation.
11
'The challenge is to marshal the resources of the world economic system to help resolve the international debt problem. .
short term debt to much longer term debt thin is 'currently being negotiated.
This should be done under the supervision ofthe International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. These debt rearrangements should be based on a realistic recognition of the adjustment capacity of each debtor country, and should seek to enhance political stability within these countries.
Of foremost importance is the prompt response of members of the International Mone tary Fund to the Fund's request for a $32 billion increase in member quotas. These funds should be approved by all countries without limitations or qualifications.
If IMF resources at any time prove inadequate to assure stability of the international financial system, the IMF should promptly be authorized to borrow additional funds in the market.
Governments should also assure increased funding for the International Development Association, since current debt problems have further diminished the small amount of commercial credit available to the world's desperately poor nations. The International Finance Corporation should increase its efforts to provide a larger share of capital import requirements through cquity~' investment. International lending agencies should encourage developing countries to remove impediments to direct private investment. The developing countries should be more responsive to the offers of private investors to take at least limited equity positions in various enterprises.
(3) The IMF should immediately draw up a contingency plan for each debtor nation, to encourage that nation's continued economic sta'bility in economic recovery in in dustrialiZed countries, which is critical to world economic recovery, is not sustained.
"
The World Bank and the Bank for International Settlements should become much more _ _ _ _---iaetive-m-reseJving-the-currenr-debr-probtem:-'fhe-W'<1rh:i-BanJc-canriot-afford-to-igrrore''''<-'- - ,the debt problem; its own loans are in jeopardy. The World Bank and multilateral regional development banks could well expand their secto'ral (as distinct from project) loans. The World Bank's capital may have to be increased, or its gearing ratio adjusted, to enable it to meet the current challenge. Continued close collaboration with the IMF is essential.
(2) Fundamentally, the private banking system should not be asked to support by itself the structure of international debt and the necessary level of international trade by uni laterally committing additional depositors' funds to de\leloping countries. Governments must also immediately take additional responsibility for ensuring the stability of the world monetary system.
13
(4) The IMP strategy to design stabilization programs should strive to find the right balance between imposing excessively onerous adjusunent programs on the debtor countries and being too lenient and thereby postponing the required policy changes in debt repayment.
In striking the balance, the adjustment program sI16uld not set balance of payments targets which, in effect, could result in a premature trartsfer of resources by a developing country to the creditor country, to the prejudice of its economic growth objectives.
(6) To strengthen the capital position of the major commercial banks holding the debt of developing countries, the banks should be authorized to issue new shares of preferred stock for purchase by large industrial corporations and investors. These issues should, if necessary, be supported by limited central bank assurances.
The present lull in corporate demand for capital and commercial loans presents an opportunity for major international commercial banks to acquire sizable injections of new resources to strengthen capital accounts. This use of corporate liquidity to help revitalize worldwide private-sector activity would be a far better use of funds than to be used merely to refinance existing loans. And it would be in the interest of multinational corporations to purchase such prefe;red shares, pe~haps for-their pension plans, -toh-elp-de-ve!-opjn-g'--- nations continue importing goods. It is recommended also that commercial banks adopt the Chrysler technique of convert ing some of the burdensome debt of private companies in developing countries into preferred stock.
(7) Special domestic (internal) accounts should be used to ease debt repayment problems.
A small but significant percentage of the debts of the private sector as they mature, and eventually also of the government sector, could bfi' paid in local currencies into special domestic accounts held by central banks or a special agency created for that purpose. Even tually payment of interest could also be paid into these accounts if new borrowings would otherwise be needed to finance interest payments. These accounts could be used whenever local currency is required. For example: A foreign owner could make local purchases of raw materials;
14
But these r~serves need to be increased over a time span sufficiently long to assure that lendable funds are not diminished. Appropriate regulatory steps to enable banks to absorb loan losses over a reasonable period of time are recommended.
(5) Private banking systems in the leading lending nations should continue to expand substan tially the amount of reserves set aside to cover loan losses.
,i
.r
A foreign lender could make new loans on the domestic market; A foreign investor could make new investments in the debtor country where local currency is required as part of the investment. The foreign purchasers of the balances in these accounts would pay the foreign creditor in hard currency at prices that may have to be discounted from par. The discounts would be established in financial markets which can be expected to emerge for such accounts. Balances in these accounts could also be acquired through the deposit of foreign exchange by those who have to finance spending in the debtor country, such as the purchase of local raw materials by hard currency importers.
Converting debt into equity in this fashion would be preferable to increasing already burdensome debt levels merely to meet interest payments on past debts.
(9) The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, (G.A. T. T.) should be strengthened and empowered to monitor and expose the nature of protectionist and neo-protectionist measures.
The rising tide of protectionism in the world can only be viewed with dismay and alarm. The link between caRital flow~. trade, and debt repayment, is self evident. The protectionist'trend must be reversed, in order to assist in' a solution 'Of the"'debt piobrein~.;"'=::=~~ and to aid in the world's recovery from economic stagnatio~ lr~1P-ort-r-est-rictiOiis~t only harmful to exporting countries, {very9ften ,including the least developed countries), but equally detrjm~ntalt0an 'effective world-wide allocation of resources. G.A. T. T.'s _ .._ present role' Is' far too limited to help the developing countries in their trading relation ~.--ships with the industrialized countries, and steps should be taken to pennit G .A. T. T. inter vention to overcome these limitations.
(10) A Global Economic Action Institute should be established to pursue implementation of the World Conference proposals and other meritorious economic programs. Conference participants authorized creation of such an institute, electing Robert B. Anderson Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer.
15
(8) The debtor nations must share rwancial responsibility by converting assets to help service existing debts. This could take the form, for instance, of seIling preferred shares in government-owned industrial enterprises. The debtor countries could also sell or pledge mineral interests or other proven natural resources.
It is also suggested that eventual later payments in foreign exchange - whenever this is possible - should be made at a fixed rate of'exchange, which would be negotiated.

A bribery investigation pertaining to subject was ~ initiated in November, 1974, upon receipt of a letter from the District Director, INS, New York, to the FBI concerning an anonymous letter Which was sent to INS, New York, alleging a payment to INS employees of $150,000 by MOON and the UC. INS advised that MOON was granted permanent resident status in 1973. Alleged payment to INS was to enable foreign members of the church to stay in the United States for their fund-raising activities. In December, 1974, Assistant United States..Attorney (AUSA), Southern District of New York (SDNY), advised that further investigat~on w~~not warranted and ~as~s closed. WWH:mjgf1LK. (5) 'J /rf!4._
MooN'Sun-myung waS born 1/26/20, in Korea and in 1954, establish~d the Unification Church (UC) also known as the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity. The UC has been described as a Judea-Christian group which attempts to unify all the churches in the world. Headquarters in the United States is located in Washington, D. C., and inter national headquarters is located in Tarrytown, New York. According to Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), members of the church have been admitted to the United States as Non-Immigrant Visitors or have applied for admission as visitors and their inspection has been deferred. Members have been found soliciting throughout various cities of the United States and have been arrested by local police for such soliciting. Numerous aliens have entered the United States and are admitted for training in the work of the UC and to participate in the activities of the church. As part of their activities, the aliens have been dispatched to many areas of the United . States where they solicit funds for the UC and questions have arisen whether these aliens have violated their immigration status as result of these activities. "14""",/1 y/ -, 1.'../

Legat, ~kYO ]ette~ referred to above also set forth information that I Riverton, New Jersey, had written State Department concerning MOON alleging that MOON was b6 mentally ill, personally immoral and involved in activities b7C contrary to the interesqof the United States. Legat, Tokyo, suggested that investigation be conducted to determine if the UC warranted investigation under Registration Act or Nationalistic Tendency classification. Investigation of MOON was conducted in 1967 under IS-Korea character (105-162770) apd in May,1967, Bureau directed communication to offices involved stating that based upon information developed, further inquiries were not warranted. In 1973, information was received from the staff of the Internal Security Subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee that a police officer in Scotland reportedly.at the direction of his superior officer, joined a group of 120 persons Who were in the United States at the invitation of the UC. This officer allegedly learned that UC had plans to penetrate the offices of U. S. Senators by placing female members referred to as "Eves" therein. Also, Senator James O. Eastland did not desire his staff to make any inquiries regarding the above alleged infiltration of Senators' offices by the UC because of the religious nature of this organization. In 1974, Senator Strom Thurmond furnished correspondence from a constituent regarding subject and the UC. By letter dated 1/15/74. the Director responded to Senator Thurmond stating that the facts as outlined by the constituent regarding the subject and the UC did not ~n~ate a violation of law within the jurisdiction of the FBI. ~

In 1967, Legat, Tokyo, in letter to the Bureau, made reference to Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) reports, one of which stated that in 1964, a high-ranking Republic of Korea Army officer alleged that the UC had components in every neutral country thoughout the world where there are Korean residents and that all these components were infiltrated or controlled by communists. Additional information received from CIA in 1963, indicated that the UC had been organized by the R9K ~IA and had been used as a political tOOl{'$6fWL h "i

I I provided a two-part news article dated June 9 by Andrew Ross and David McQueen of the Pacific News Service, 604 Mission Street, Room 1001, San Francisco, California. The article is titled "Moon Reaps Profits 1n U.S." and the article sets forth the following:
"The new savior of the world lives in a plush mansion right next door to Lawrence Rockefeller. He is the Reverend Sun Myung Moon, and his Unification Church has made more splash in the U.S. pver the past year than almost all o the other new religions put together. Sun Moon commands the devotion of up to a million members world-wide who regard him as the new messiah, and he presides over a multi-national, multi-million dollar' conglomerate which blends big business, messianic quasi Christianity, and virulent anti-communism. It is all a far cry from his humble beginnings as the only son of a poor Presbyterian farm family living in what is now North Korea. But Moon has encountered a.great deal of opposition, some of it extremely bitter. One critic, Rabbi Maurice . Davis of White Plains, New York, who counsels distressed parents of Moon's American followers. says" 'I hold this movement to be evil arid' dangerous.' Davis ac'cuses Rev. Moon of being a 'charlatan', and 'his inner henchmen to be devious, unscrupulous and false.' This docUWlent contains neither recommendations nor conclusions of the FBI.

AcC;rding to American Pre?ident, Ne~~alonen, the American branch has an annual operat~ng . budget of $8 Million, most of ,it spent on lavish banquets for civic leaders and saturation advertising preceeding Moon's "day of hope" rallies in cities across the country. Moon's Madison Square Garden rally in New York last September was estimated to have cost between $300,000 and $500,000 The cash flow involved in all the activities of the Church's subordinate organizations is much more than $8 Million.

While some of the money for Moon's American operations may corne from the ,profits of his industrial holdings in South Korea (worth $15 Million), most of it derives from the Herculean Fund raising efforts of the Church members. In return for no wages and spartan room and board, the Moonies work from dawn to dusk, selling candles and flowers on the streets or laboring for one of the galaxy of church enterprises, includin~ a printing company, gas station, a janitorial service, restaurancs, and a business consultancy firm. The income from such projects is larger than one might think. Selling candles nets the non-profit, tax exempt church well over a Million Dollars a year. According to one former church member, a 24-person team operating out of a single church house in Berkeley, brought in $500,000 a year sellinq roses on the streets of the bay area. The church's fund-raising efforts are not entirely straight-forward. Donors a&Often misled about what happens to their money. "T e people who bought t.he flowers never had any idea what the were contribU~ing to" said former bay area member Darcy~Black.&.M:f1We w uld ask them if they would like to donate 0 'youth prog ams. If asked to elaborate, we would simply 'lie". Tyler ,Cole who was once treasurer of the church's Laramie, ~y.ming branch agrees. She told a reporter: "We were goinga-ound telling people the money we were raising was being used to help young people get off drugs, and for charity, when none of it was
$35 Million is reflected in expen~ive property deals. Moon's private residence in Tarrytown, New York, cost the church $625,000. His "principal evangelist" Colonel Pak, lives in a $115,000 horne in Fairfax County, Virginia, which serves as the headquarters of Pak's own lucrative real estate business as well as a branch of the Unification Church. Otherpro perties include a New York City townhouse, a Washington, D.C. office building, 680 acres of prime land in Mendocino County, California (Moon's "international ideal city", at this point just two trailer houses and a lot of open land) , and the One and One-Half Million Dollar Christian~brother's seminary in Barrytown, New York, which serves as the Church's main training center. In January, 123 acres in New York's Westchester County were purchased for $5 Million as the site of the Unification Church "university" .. Just last month, the Church bought the prestigest Columbia Club of New York as its new American headquarters for $1.2 Million.

going for that. I once confronted the group with this; the consensus was that the goals of Mr. Moon's movement were so magnificent that the means we used to support them were okay whatever they were." The primary goal of the Unification Church is nothing less than the conversi~n of the whole world to Reverend Moon's religion . As outlined in the Divine Principle, the Church's Bible, most of humanity is in the clutches of Satan as a result of congenital "blood impurity" passed on by Eve's seduction by Satan~ Christ's real mission, according to Moon theology was to re-establish the kingdom of God by marrying and having pure children whose pure descendants would erase the taint of Satan. But Christ failed, and told Moon in a revelation Moon claims to have received at age 16 that he was to carry out my unfinished mission. Moon's children, plus the initiate of the church are the advanced guard of the new pure race come to' rule the world. The millenium, according to Moon's followers, is close at hand, and while they would prefer a non-violent conversion of humanity, they are told that the new age may be preceded by a final cataclysmic confrontation between the pure and those still controlled by Satan. They are instructed to prepar~ to die for the Church if necessary. Church officials realize that Moon's message may be difficult for the uninitiated to swallow immediately, so they play down Moon's devine status when speaking in public. They have formed a number of front organizations. One such group, "New Education Development Systems, Inc." (NEDS) has denied any links to the church on its own sworn application to the IRS for tax exemption, even though former members of NEDS insist it is a fund raising and recruitment arm of the Unification ~hurch. Church president, Neil Salonen told Pacific News Service that "core" members of NEDS are also members of the Uni fication Church. Cancelled checks show that money paid by "associate" members who thought they were joining NEDS went straight into the bank account of the Unification Church. There is no privacy and no free time for Moon's followers. If they are notfund raising, then they are seeking converts or reading and discussing Divine Principle. Recalls Darcy Black, "You are never allowed to think. If you're driving in the Church bus or in' a.car, you are always

\
singing. If you are caught just looking out the window or just sitting, you are inunediately told to stop spacing out." Some members rebel against the Church's absolute control over their lives, and leave the church while others are strongly attracted by it. Pressure on members to stay however, can be enormous . . In\one case reported by NBC News an individual deemed by a Korean woman high in the church leadership to be "possessed by Satan" was forcibly held at the Barrytown Training Center. There have also been scattered reports of violence used again~t Moon's opponents. Tom Riner, pastor of Christ Covenant Church in Louisville, Kentucky, told Pacific News of two such incidents -- one last April in Indianapolis where a follower of Reverend Moon pushed the pastor's wife around and took anti-Moon material from her, and another in Louisville last July when two women members of Riner's congregation were slugged by two male supporters of Moon for distributing anti-Moon leaflets. For forty days and nights in Washington, D.C., last winter, followers of the Reverend Sun-Myung Moon marched, prayed and camped out on the steps of the Capitol in a "forgive, love, Unite" crusade on behalf of the Watergate beleaguered Nixon. Similar demonstrations were staged by Unification Church members in a dozen other world capitols. Moon in full-page newspaper ads allover the country envoked a kind of divine right in Nixon's behalf. The ads told Americans: "At this time in history, God has chosen Richard Nixon to be President of the United States. Therefore, only God has the power and authority to dismiss him." One Unification Church memo entitled, "Project Watergate" referred to the soon to resign President as the archangel Nixon. Moon's pro-Nixon stance reflected in part his desire to become a spiritual advisor to the politically powerful in this country. God told him to speak out, Moon said in his newspaper ads because "there has been no American spiritual leader speaking out for unity". Moon's ambition, however, goes well beyond replacing Billy Graham as the nation's number one man of the clothe. He has told his upper echelon followers in writings entitled Master Speaks (available only to the initiate> "the world is in my ha,nd and I will conquer and sub; ugate the world".
One of Moon's training centers, located just outside Seoul gives anti-communist training courses to hundreds of South Korean military officers and civil servants each year. Moon's Korean anti-communist league actively participates in all anti-North Korean and anti-Japanese demonstrations in South Korea. In the United States, Moon's principal evangelist and interpreter, Colonel Bo Hi Pak, heads the Washington based Korean Cultural and Freedom Foundation (KCFF), which was established in 1965 to foster closer relations between the u.s. and South Korea. Church officials deny any organizational link between the KCFF and the Unification Church. However, a majority of KCFF's Board of Directors, are, or have been, high ranking Unification Church officials. and Reverend Moon's own calling card lists him as "Chairman of the Board and Founder" of one of KCFF's major projects - the Little Angels Korean Folk Ballet. Another KCFF project is Radio Free Asia, which at the height of the Vietnam war produced anti- communist programs in Washinqton and beamed them into China, North Korea and North Vietnam.
In the meantime, the Church's political energies are directed against communism, which Moon regards as the embodiment of Satan on earth. Thus Moon has been a militant advocate of the Vietnam war and has developed close ties to like-minded political and financial circles, especially in Korea and Japan. The 55 year old Korean preacher has remained silent in the face of the South Korean government's virtual elimination of civil liberties and its increasingly repressive measures against all suspected opponents. Last April, eight students and intellectuals, including practicing Christians, were executed in Seoul for allegedly plotting to overthrow the Government. Christian leaders, including the Roman Catholic Bishop of Seoul and the head of the Korean National Council of Churches, have been arrested and imprisoned and American missionaries who have protested the Park Government's policies have been deported. Moon on the other hand has enjoyed an especially warm relationship with the park government. As early as 1962, Prime Minister Kim Jong Pil then head of the newly formed Korean CIA assured the first small group of American converts at a meeting in a San Francisco Hotel of his fUll, but secret,support, one of those present told P & S. Today, Moon's machine tool factory, part of an industrial empire Moon has built under the benevolent eye of the Park regime, supplies the South Korean army with parts of M-16s.

Agency. While no hard evidence for this exists, connections between the Unification Church and the Korean Central Intelligence Agency - created in the early 1960s by Park Chung Hee and the American military intelligence agencies - are more apparent. The Boston Globe reported recently that Moon's interpreter, Colonel Pak, has been a member of the Korean CIA. Korean exiles have told Pacific News Service and the Washington Post that Pak is still connected to Korean intelligence circles, and had pointed o~t th~t Moon could not have built his industrial and religious organizations and his anti-communist training centers in South Korea without implicit cooperation of the Korean Central Intelligence Agency. The Korean CIA gained international notoriety in 1972 when its agents kidnaped South Korean opposition leader Kim Dae Jung from a Tokyo Hotel room and spirited him back to Korea. In the United States, its frequent harassment of anti-Park exiles prompted an FBI investigation and a Government warning to curtail its activities. (Members of San Francisco's Korean community have told PNS, and Washington officials have confirmed, that the Korean Central Intelligence Agency frequently uses the Tae Kwan Do Karate schools in major American cities as a cover for its agents. The agents are reportedly controlled from the South Korean Embassy in Washington where Colonel Pak was a military attache from 1961 to 1964. (Coincidentally, the largest chain of Korean tae Kwan Do Karate schools in the United States is owned and operated by Colonel Pak's, Jhoon Rhea, who is well known in Washington as a teacher of Marshal arts to political figures and columnists. Rhee was one of the founders of the Unification Church in the United States and his first Karate school served as a recruiting front for
This is the source of recurring rumors that Moon is somehow connected to the American Central Intelligence
In 1971, Radio of Free Asia came under investigation by several Government agencies, including the Justice Depart ment, for alleged violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act. In question was the radio station's status as a foreign private foundation when the South Korean Government con-' sistently gave it free air time on its national network. Colonel Pak acquired the legal services of former CIA Deputy Director of Intelligence Robert Amory, Jr., then employed by the Washington law firm of Thomas Corcoran, himself a top legal counsel to the CIA. The investigation was subsequently dropped.
REVEREND SUN-MYUNG MOON
Although Unification Church officials deny any financial links between Sasagawa and the church, Colonel Pak told Pacific News that Sasagawa is Moon's "chief ally in the battle against communism". Much of that battle is now waged by Moon's inter national federation for the victory over communism. The head of the Japanese branch of the international federation for victory over communism is former prime minister Kishi Nobusuke, a close associate of Sasagawa - they met in prison after the war. The IFVC, in ,turn, is a major component of the World Anti-Communist League, a very influential right wing pressure group, especially in Asian affairs, which was founded and financed by Sasagawa. The American branch of the IFVC, headed by Unification Church president Neil Salonen, is known as the Freedom Leadership Foundation, which claims to be "the standard bearer of ideological victory over communism in the United States." Its educational and training arm, the World Freedom Institute, offers training courses in anti-communism and plans to build an "international training center" in Washington, D.C., modeled after the center near Seoul,Korea. The Freedom Leadership Foundation is active on Capitol Hill spending upwards of $50,000 per year on educational seminars and teas for Congress people on such issues as military spending and foreing aid and i t reportedly plans a separate organization in the near future for direct lobbying and campaigning for select political candidates. There is even the hint that members of the Church may enter u.s. politics.
the church. Rhee also helped establish the Korean Cultural and Freedom Foundation, but, though he still professes support for the church's goal, he insists he is no longer actively inv~lved in the church's affairs. Through his representation in the World Karate Association, however, Rhee is connected to one of the church's principal Japanese backers, Sasagawa Ryoichi, who founded and heads the association. Sasagawa is now one of Japans most prominent financiers and behind the scenes political figure. In the 1930s, he was a leading advocate of imperial expansion and an architect of Japan's wartime strategy. After the war, he was imprisoned for a time as a "class A" war criminal. Sasagawa admits helping fund the anti-Sukarno coup in Indonesia in 1965 and reputedly exerts large influence over today's Japanese criminal underworld. .

ladditionally made available and article entitled "Korean Moonshine" which appeared in the Christian Century Magazine December 4, 1974 issue, a magazine article entitled "From Korea With Love" written by John D. Marks; which appeared in the Washington Monthly February, 1974, issue, and an article entitled "Moon Rising", which appeared in Newsweek Magazine, May 26, 1975 issue. Information con tained in these articles substantiate information which is set forth above regarding Reverend Sun Moon-and the Unification Church.
"r Ifurther provided a letter containing informatiDn abOaeSun-Myung Moon prepared by the Church of the Nazarene, Korean Mission, Box 63, Young Deung T.O., Seoul, Korea. The letter indicates that Mr. Moon is the founder of the Unification Church which is officfally titled "The Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity". Moon was born in Chung Ju, North Korea, in 1920. In his teenage years, Moon is said to have seen frequent visions and to have grown up surrounded by an atmosphere of mysticism. The letter indicates that he has divorced three wives having had one child by each of them. He was accused in 1955 of conducting a group sex orgie for which he served a three-month jail term. Moon founded his organization in 1954 basing it on his supposed religious visions. The letter alleges that actually Moon borrowed his doctrines from those taught at the monestary of Israel.

advised the General Crimes Unit is monitoring the activ1t1es of Moon and his Church. She also concluded the complaint does not fall within FBI jurisdiction.
Representative Minish was advised the Bureau is not in a position to provide a characterization of the Unification Church although we have been aware of Reverend Moon for a rmnber of year,. Further, that the apparent voluntary association of daughters with Reverend Moon as well as their maturity do not in dicate Moon and the Church are in violation of Federal laws which would enable us to enter the matter. Representative Minish agreed the factual situatirn appears to be. essentially a domestic problem existing within the household. b6

J
I'm enclosing a copy of a letter I have- recently received from a constituent in regard to the activities of Reyerend Sun Myung Moon and his Unification Church. A number of rather serious charges . have been leveled against Reverend M00n and his sect, jncluding allegations that he"preys on young ~ople and ha~.~~~apped young per sons through some sort of '''mind control" process . . It is also charged that Moon has been "brainwashing"young people.
In light of the controversy surrounding Reverend Moon, I would appreciate knowing what action your agency is taking on the matter and whether the F.B.I. is investigating the charges made of Moon's activities.
Thank you very much for your cooperation and assistance. Sincerely,.,

At approximately 9:10 a.m., 1/21/76, Assistant Director W. R. Wannall telephonically contacted Congres~man Chappell.

Mr. Wannall advised the Congressman that ~7;lfJ based on his recollection no FBI investigation relating '/J / to such allegations had been conducted. Congressman ChapP,ell said he did not consider this as an allegation, merely a .. communication from a constituent and while he fully supported freedom of speech and other rights of individuals, Moon did appear to have a wide following. If he also has a background oi Red army connections, this would concern him. He was advised that a check would be made to determine if Moon had, in fact been the SU~'~~f an FBI'RH\'V v~stigation. ~)." ~1lI I ().;": ,,<" /f;,,-:(' 770 ' A sUbsequ'nt check of BufiTes ,was made and no . information to corroborate this allegation was located.

The Bureau has conducted no investigation of Moon relative to any alleged communist or Red army connections and we have no information which would substantiate same., \ . Mr. Wannall subsequently recontacted Congressman Chappell's Office at 3:45 p.m. on 1/21/76. At that time he was advised that Congressman Chappell would return his call by 6 p.m. Congressman Chappell did not return the call. Mr. Wan~all again contacted Congressman Chappell's Office at 9:30 a.m. on 1/22/76. He was advised that Congressman Chappell was occupied but would return' the call after 2 p.m. Not having received a call by the morning of 1/28/76 Mr. Wannall telephoned his office at 9:10 a.m. and talked to Congressman Chappell.

It is re~~ested that the Bureau make inqu~r~es of appropriate local authorities, possibly Dutchess County, New York District Attorney's office, to determine the scope and status of SUch inquiry or grand jury investigation.
,'
~1
As you know, the Bureau has recently been involved in two limited investigations relating to some of the activities of the Unification Church in and around Barrytown, New York.
The Unification Church and Rev. Sun Myung Moon have been
the subject of considerable citizen and Congressional interest in recent months. A recent Congressional inquiry called attention to an article in the October 20, 1975 issue of People ~1agazine concerning allegations made by a Mr. James Sheeran that he was assaulted at the Unification Church b6 Training Center at Barrytown, and that his daughters
were b7C the Jictims of brain....r ashing.
The article iridi'c~tc:stb:a t an official inquiry was being made and
that there may be a grand jury investigation of this matter.

Dear 1'--
Your letter of January 27th and enclosures have been received and I can certainly understand the concern which prompted you to write. With respect to the information you furnished regarding Reverend Sun Myunq Moon and the Unification Church, this Bureau is strictly an investiq~tive agency of the Federal Government and, as such, neither makes evalua tions nor draws conclusions as to the character or integrity of any organization, publication or individual. I hope you will not infer either that we do or do not have mate,.ri.al ill our files relatinq to the sUbjects you mentioned. In addi tion, the FBI has no authority to'prevent anyone from speaking to members of the Congres$.

Greetings. I like to call your attention to an arti.cle which I did receive through the mail from Europe. It has to do with a fanatical religious group . The millionaiD9of Korean origin, namely, Sun Myung Moon is the leader of this group.
g.n. /6ao.'. Ft3.'1'J.s/'Jw'SYor~ ,1J5.~xfu(&~ r:;;;<~ They attempted yesterday to bomb a house in Paris in which the religious 'Moon' sectarian group is located and has established a residence. They tore off a leg of a young girl and a young man suffered from inflicted injuries .- The "Moon sectarian-Groupu has about two million members 'and is very rich. They became rich through begging and the sales of flowers. Theleadership'of this group has.peen criticized in France as'well as in the USA of bein~a dubious character and furthermore that they brainwashed some). of their members ,md then kidnapped them and mistreated them in order to cove:[' up their inhuman ac ts. There have also be en reports about "l3exorO'i I'> l:!. " A statement given to the New York Police Department by . Mre. James Sheeren states: liMy three daughters were pnFIBl~1.J16s of this 'Moon-Group It for three days and since then they ,iC't abnormal. - - . - , ' And Jane Baley from Long Island said: "After my son William /' made himself free of this group to which he belonged for 5 months i\.-n~~~hro~ himself befo,re a. tr~~~~ ~~_~_~ was dead instan;~tY."
. - t l_ _
~
This atricle was printed on January 25, 1976 and I will. translate it for you.: It reads as follows: ''''--/~' "Die sekte, die bet-tblt, betet and Kinder fangt. u uThe religious secterian group which begs for money, prays and catches children." The article goes on to

Five liundred American families who have lost their children belonging now to this group have joined up and formed a coUIiter society. Their intention is to get their children back and free them from the awsome power and force which this group holds over them, but they fear and are afraid that their children will be tortured and beaten up, like an ex-memberrof this 'Moon-Group' reprted. This man was a person with the name "steve" from New York and who was hospitalized for six months with a broken jaw. The leader of this "Moon-Sectarian" group is the Korean millionaire Sun-MYung Moon. He asserts that he met with Jesus Christ in a vision in the year 1936. A New York reporter who attempted to prove or disprove the activities of this group fled from a-.home in-Forres.t Hills_af.ter he stayed with them for three days. He stated: "We prayed, took part in exereises, participated in lectures aoout 1'1 hours a day. At the end of the third day I feared that I was going to loose my mind." The end of translation of this article. I do believe that an. investigation of the activities of such a dubious group should be undertaken and that it is worth while because the distruction of US citizen's is here at Btake if this is true what has been reported in ~this article. I do also agree with a statement which you have made lately. All reports like this one given to the FBI should be kept in confidence by the Bureau of Investigation. Your staement I~de to the Press that just in case illegal approaches are made by anyone, if President or any American citizen, the Bureau of Investigation should turn such requests over to the Justice Department. I object to a suggestion made by Senator Church who wants to install a nine member panel to oversee all CIA and FBI activities.
Our political setup and the mode of our Federal GovefllIDent establishment and operations is such that some highly classified information can be made use off and be exploited for personal political gains -: only and a terrible harm can come to the innocent people involved'such matters.
Hoping that you will find this information worthy of ~'our time to study, I remain with kindest nersonal rel':ards, thankfully yours

My dear frieneb. wbat I have to say to )'011 tonicht is Ion,. and painfUl. and difficull, and friptfut. an4 {rigtltenil\i.but it hili to be said. And il has to be said here. And it has 10 be Mid now. A fow monCbs 810 I became suddenly. penonall)'. and deeplY iftvolvcd with a'group of pe4J!le wbose eXIStence until that moment bad totally e5Qped my attention. After month$ of research. correspondenc:. and ,.,nonal involvement, 1 feel lbe need to brin, it all [0 your attention. and that is what I plan 10 do tOlliabt. The srou, is known jenerail)' as the Uni ficalion Church. Its oftlcial name. however. is The Hoi)' Spirit Association for the Uni fication of World Christianil)'. Under tbat umbrella there are &everul front ,roups operatini. Perhaps you have heard Sllme of their names. These are: Pruj eel Unity. One World Crusade. interna tioNl Federation for Victory over Com muni$m. Freedom Lcadenhip Foundation. American Youth for a Jut Peace. The Lit lie Anaels of Korea. Tbe Professors Acad emy for Worll! Peace, and the Committee Responsible DialOlue, What they all have in cornmon. aside from the fact that tbey are totally inlerl~k in ill that they all belOr1g to a Illan called Reverend Sun Myoong Moon, a K"rean whu has captured tbe minds and tbe bodie~ of Itn increros;nl number of people, and whu hilS become - al<ml the way - an urremely wealtby mall. Ler me leave awide (or Ihe moment Ihe qUllltion of hi' weallh. and the WIlYS in whkb he haa acquired it. I'll aet back tt> that. 1 promise )'ou! First of all; who is Ihis man? Reverend Moon was born in 1920 in Ihe Pyunlan BukDo province of what is presentl)' North Korea. At the age of sillteen he recounb that Jesus appeared to him and told him "to carry out my unfinished task:' Then a voice 'rom heaven SlIid. "You will be the c,)m pleler of man', salvation by being the sec ond coming of Christ:' And this reall y is the gist of the message: That Adam failed as the pertec:t man when Eve was literally $educed by Satan. That Jesus failed liS the perfect man beC:;lIIse he died before he could marry tbe perfect male, That the Messiah will come as Ihe third Adam, out. of Korea - tbe New Garden ilf Eden - in lhe year 1980. Reverend Moon. havin; divorced his fil'llt three wives, and bavinll Ihen married an ei.hleen year old girl. apparently is the tbird Adam. the sec ond Messiah, and Ibe lirst lellder of a n1CJVe ment designed 10 c:a;Jlure as manychil..tren as he clln.

I have been praying specificlIlIy for Presi dent Ricblnd Nixon. J asked God, "What sball we do with the person or Richnrd Nixon'!" The answer . . . was "Love. h is )'our duty 10 love him:', ..

J cannot say it any more carefully than tbat, And they ab~tain from liquor. lobacco. d.rugs. and IIU except, of course, for mar na.es arran.ed-lInd some limes rearrlln,ell ....by Reverend Moon. I have no quarrel witb tbe kids, buwever confused and mistaken they may be. My quarrel is with the movement. Thil movement preys upon the young thl: youn. of aU religions. The Moon peopl~ are oul to ,et lbern all. to convert Ihc worl<l I~~' 1980 for Sun Myoong Moon and his Mes aiahsbip, This m~vemenl preys upun Ihe youn upon the disturbed. upon Ihe frighl ened. upon Ihe idealists, upon lhose who hunpr for acceptance, or certainty or sim plisti<: answen in a world Ihat is too com plell.. It prey upon I/K>se Who sinccrel~' dream of a better world. and who rellch 0111 for .hort cuts. It pteys upon those who arc unhappy at home, unhappy with lhemselves unhappy with their parenls, Llnl!appy with Ihe doubl. and Ihe strusglcs of life IlliClf To all of Ihese it offers acceptante' of love. and aUI~ority. 'lInd protection, and a sense of ~ubhme commitment. And all it de.m!lnds In return is total submiuion. sub. mISSIon of body and soul. an end of thinking for themselves. a blind acceptance of the word of che Masler. and the abandonment of family and faith and values and reason. They speak of love and introduce satan ism. The kids at TarrYlown are bus:led into New York to see "The Exorcist" to show them what wil/ happen 10 them if the devil .ets inside. ~s !t any wO!'der then Ihall was delighte\l 10 JOIR the neIghborhood sroup Which suc. cessfully removed the Moon people from lhe rented hOllse on the corner Dr Earl. woode ~nd SOllndview Y"~en they. violated the zonang law? And J wlll~peak out against chem whenever an.! wherever I can, P1eo5C understand how 1 feel. They havc every rilht to elIist. 50 long liS they obey the law!! of this land. And) would not even attempl to deny Ihem Iheir cf\:i\ rights. Bllt we. too.-h3ve rishtl.

We have the right to prepare a brief. as some lire now doing, (or presenlation 10 the AlIome)' Generalla see if. ill facl. Ihey have violaled lhe law~ of Ihis land. and perhaps 10 unravel the mystcry of Reverend Moon's financC1.
Wi".;t~
- Thi~ we caR do - and should. The que~ liun Ihal keeps me awake at nisht, however is why our kids - even a few gf them - ar~ so vulnerahle. Hgw is it pussible" thaI one weekend at Tarrytown can destroy a life lime of family and ""lues'! For. believe me it happens amI ~ho is there amon, U5 s~ secure thaI he would let his childrenao to Tarrytown. and be confident Ihat nOlhin, would happen? What is lhe need thaI we do not fulfil'! Our Lius hllve al/lhings mat~rial - and Ihal simply i not enough. One boy said to me. "But now III least 1 believe in somethinl. My parents believe in nothin,," Well. we lire those parents. you and I, Most of us are fairlY decent people. We Wllr\; hard. We do Ihe riaht thing. We have It set of val liPS, :md we tl')' to live by tbem. What's missing? h it that we Ilu nol speak cnull~h about those values'! Is il Ihllt we do not show enoush of ,'iur love'! Is il that we oJo not shIIte with our child.:n our deeper dtellm~. our Jeeptr goals',) Our children want to believe in some thin,. Anll if we do not help them. the Moon people will. Only we have that "some Ihing." We have II heritage so areat. ~v brave. so ennohlin~. so ellcitin. so enrich in,. so demanding. BUI if we simply take our heritage for grantell. Ihey mllY not liCe it. and they may not love il. and they may fall vic tim to tholiC who would take advantage of them. Then let liS N:gin agllin with our children a dialogue of grealocs!'i anll a dialogue of love. leI us begin apin 10 lislen wilh ollr ears llncJ wilh our hearts. And let us bare our souls to our children. That they may know \I~ for our dreams. let us share (Iur lives more openly without pretense. wilhout defense. with a love that must nol be \Ie. niell. I can givp yoo a Ihousand reasons why we must do thi and more. BUI who needs a thousand reasons. We are fighting for our children anJ their lives. and that - I sUllge~1 is reason cn()\lgh.

PAK TOLD A press conference today that the suit was filed in U.S. District Court here "on the grounds of consp.racy to violate and deprive the Unification Church and me of our constitutional rights." He accused Fraser of "premeditated charactel' assassination" and of "a predeter mined commitment to 'get' Korea and the Unification Church." "Through this lawsuit we are seck ing a court injunction and damages to stop the abuses and the violation of civil and constitutional rights of the church, its leaders and its mem bers," Pak said. Pak. who has appeared before the Fraser committee five times, includ ing an executive session yesterday, flatly denied that he has ever been a member of the Korean CIA. He ac cused Fraser of using the technique of the "big lie" and "guilt by associa tion" in implicating him, Moon and his followers in the s~andal. "We believe that Congressman Fr;t~ an ulterior, hidden mo tive in this investilZlltion." Pak said.
The Rev. Sun'- yunfb 00l~ Uni fication Church andoon's mter preter, Col. Bo Hi Pak, today filed a $30 million damage suit against Rep. Donald M. Fraser, D-Minn. Fraser has been conducting an investigation of the church and its leadership for possible ties to influ ence buying activities by Korea in the United States. Moon. who has been subpoenaed to appear before the House subcommit tee on international organilations headed by Fraser. has said he will not cooperate with the investigation. He is now in London.
"He is determinea to destroy Rev. Moon and the Unification Church and. undermine Koreah-American rela tions." The suit charges.. that Fraser sent two investigators, ~dwin H. Gragert and Martin Lewin to the Unification Church of Washington, at 16th Street and Columbia Road NW. and that the pair "falsely misrepresented them selves as architects.and conducted a secret search of our church." P3k said th(:re is evidence that Fraser has been involved in a "re verse Korean payoff scandal," in that he awarded $2,000 "consulting contracts" to four witnesses who gave testimony dt:trimental to South Korea or to Moor.'s church.

ANSWERING CHARGES by Fraser that Moon left the country to avoid being served a subpoena to ap r.ear on June 13, Pak said Fraser 'led reporters to believe that Rev, Moor had been expecting the sub poena, and he implied Rev. Moon might have gone to England to avoid being served." "Yet previously. his attorneys had told my attorney that there was a very good chance that it would not be necessary to call Rev. Moon. They promised my attorney that the sub committee would not make any deci sion about calling Rev. Moon as a witness and would n'ot issue a sub poena for Rev. Moon until after the completion of my testimony, Why should Rev. Moon expect that he would be subpoenaed for June 13 when I was scheduled to testify on June20?" He said Moon had planned his evangelistic trip to England for a longtime, Pak said Moon "will not cooperate with such a sordid investi~atID~ _.----_._ .._--- .... --_._----------_. -

He stated he never personally witnessed any abuse of female members or the use of narcotics or liquor by Dr. Moon or anyone else associated with that movement. He stated that although some of Dr. Moon's bodyguards are trained in karate, judo or other defensive tactics, none, insofar as he knows, carry any weapons.

ladvised, however, that a prominent North Carolina o~r""""S~o~u~t~h~Carolina evangelist, Dr. Joseph Kennedy, was considered by most members of the Church to be a ~t:Qn: advocate of Dr. Moon and it was Kennedy, according t~_ who arranged or almost arranged a meeting between Presl en Richard Nixon and Dr. Moon a few years ago . ladded also that the ranks of the Unification Church in ~he On lied States include many illegal aliens from Korea, Japan, France and Germany who have overstayed their visa limitations or committed other passport violations. He noted that one of the favorite practices of the organization is to have members enter the United States as students. These individuals, however, never attend any school and spend all their time in connection with various fund raising programs.
