While much of the work of this committee was cloaked in secrecy, there is strong evidence of its repugnant nature. At the May 1969 meeting, for example, Huntington presented a paper entitled "Getting Ready for Political Competition in Vietnam." In this document, he advocated electoral manipulation, control of the media and "inducements and coercions...
...first document was titled "A Framework for Peace in the Middle East." As ambitious as its name, it envisaged in great detail the mechanics, if not all the solutions, that would enable Israel, Jordan and the Palestinians to work out over five years the final status of the West Bank and Gaza, a measure of autonomy for the Palestinians in those regions, and gilt-edged guarantees of security for Israel...

The Catholic hierarchy's call a month later for a pluralistic "national government" to replace Somoza was immediately seconded by every major business organization in the country. The businessmen were worried by Nicaragua's growing fiscal problems, mounting foreign debt and Somoza's proposal for new taxes. Said William Baez, executive secretary of the Nicaraguan Institute of Development: "Somoza foments Communism solely by remaining in power...
