Dante Bruno Fascell was an American politician who represented Florida as a member of the United States House of Representatives from 1955 to 1993. He was chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee for nine years. He attended the 1970 Bilderberg meeting.

Activities

For two decades he was a key backstage influence in American foreign policy-making.

He was one of the few leading Democrats who wholeheartedly backed the decision of a Republican President, George HW Bush, to send US troops to fight the 1990 Gulf War against Iraq

He was on the board of the National Endowment for Democracy.

In 1967, Fascell, well known for his links with the CIA and the Cuban exile community, proposed in Congress the establishment of a private foundation to openly finance foreign private organizations that until then had been financed secretly by the CIA, what eventually became the National Endowment for Democracy (NED). Fascell was named to the NED's first board. CIA whistleblower Philip Agee explained how "While the CIA had until then channeled the money through a complex network of 'conduits', the NED became a 'mega-conduit' to move the U.S. government money to the same series of NGOs that the CIA had been secretly funding."
