26Oct99 - BBC Intranet entry for BAP: "The British American Project (BAP) was founded in 1985 to encourage 'transatlantic friendship' between 'future leaders' of Britain and the United States. It is funded by donations from large corporations and was originally known as the 'British-American Project for the Successor Generation'. Each year BAP invites 24 American and 24 British delegates to take part in four days of dinners, parties and discussions. The aim is to "create, at a time of growing international strains and stresses, a closer rapport between Britain and the United States among people likely to become influential decision-makers during the next two decades". Delegates are nominated by existing fellows. They include George Robertson, Chris Smith, Mo Mowlem, Peter Mandelson, Jonathan Powell, Trevor Phillips, Charles Moore, James Naughtie and Evan Davis. Critics of BAP, such as John Pilger, have suggested that it constitutes a type of right-wing "casual freemasonry". "
Why go all the way to Valduc? Because the UK and France signed the ‘Teutates Treaty’ in 2010, to share advanced facilities at Valduc and Aldermaston AWE to research Nuclear weapons for the next 50 years. The French radiology facility (Teutates EPURE) will be at Valduc, in France. The UK Teutates Technological Development Centre (TDC Facility) will be built at AWE Aldermaston, Berkshire. The radiographic/hydro-dynamics facilities will permit design of new generations of nuclear weapons. This is contrary to the aims the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty, Article VI, ‘the elimination of all nuclear arsenals’ and and the spirit of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty.
