Unidentified 1960 Bilderberg participant

Edward M. Martin went to the 1960 Bilderberg. There is some uncertainty with his identification.

Chicago

One of the most likely candidates is the Edward M. Martin (1896-4 August, 1985) who in 1936, he was a Public Affairs Secretary of the Union League Club of Chicago, one of the top clubs in the country. His 1936 book The Rôle of the Bar in Electing the Bench in Chicago[1] was well received. He was also Secretary of the Committee on Judicial Selection of the American Judicature Society and the National Municipal League.[2]

Described in an obituary as "Edward M. Martin, 89, former director of public affairs for the Union League Club of Chicago (1924-60); he led the drive for the adoption of voting machines in elections and took part in campaigns to promote civic and judicial reform in Illinois"[3]

In 1949 he forwarded an article on "Intelligence as an Instrumentality of National Security in Peace and War" to Roscoe Hillenkoetter.[4]

Edwin McCammon Martin

[Edwin McCammon Martin], a US economist a diplomat, would fit the bill for a typical Bilderberg participant. Confusingly, in some newspaper reports his name is sometimes misspelled Edward.

During the 1960s and the Cuba Crisis he was Assistant Secretary for Inter-American Affairs. He was Senior Advisor to Henry Kissinger on the World Food Conference [5] in November 1974.

Nebraska

A third candidate Edward M. Martin (3 Jan 1913-23 Feb 1965), who died aged 52 in Nebraska.[6]
