Meeting size
The size of the 1956 Bilderberg was unusually large; the meeting size was apparently still being researched. The previous meeting, the September 1955 Bilderberg Meeting was attended by 78 men. The 147 guests included 36 business executives, 46 politicians, 6 financiers, 6 editors/journalists and 9 academics. The next meeting was the 1957 February Bilderberg, which had just 75 guests.
Contributors
Richard A. Gard wrote a speech entitled Asia and the west in the free world.[1]
