Bilderberg/1970
The 1970 Bilderberg Meeting was the 19th Bilderberg meeting. In contrast to the 1969 Bilderberg, (9-11 May), the 1970 Bilderberg was in April, as were all Bilderbergs of the 1970s. The next was the 1971 Bilderberg.
It had participants from 14 European countries, the United States and Canada.[1] It was held at the Hotel Quellenhof in Bad Ragaz, Switzerland. The 95 guests included 17 business executives, 24 politicians, 5 financiers, 13 editors/journalists and 15 academics. The next was the 1971 Bilderberg.

Agenda
The 1970 Bilderberg Agenda has been leaked and is now online.[1]
1. Future Function of the University In Our Society
Three working papers were produced on this topic; one entitled The Future Function of the University in Our Society by Eric Ashby, one on The University and Society by James Alfred Perkins and one entitled Transformations in Society and the Replanning of Education by Edgar Faure.[2]
University administrator Douglas LePan attended the meeting. In 1982 he told his thought on the subject:
I came to a few conclusions about it in its manifestations in Canada and in the University of Toronto that perhaps I might disclose. I had the feeling that the leaders of the student protest movement could be divided roughly into two categories, and I confess I had more sympathy with one category than with the other. The two categories I'm thinking of were those who are making their first bid for political power and who would end up in powerful positions as leaders of political parties or of trade unions or of businesses. They were riding this wave for their own purpose and for their own advantage. I don't mean to say that they were altogether insincere. Far from that, but as I ultimately analyzed what they were after, it was for positions of later and continuing power. In the other category, I would put those who, in my opinion, were rather more deeply sincere, many of whom were to end up virtually in the gutter. And for them, my sympathy goes out now and went out then in a much more real way.[3]
2. Priorities In Foreign Policy
Two working papers were produced on this topic; the first on Young Americans' Attitudes Towards Foreign Policy for the 1970's by Graham T. Allison, the second on Priorities in Foreign Policy by Karl Kaiser.
"The Environmental Problem"
The meeting report also mentions a paper on the "environmental problem" written by "a German participant".
