PUBLISHER: British-North American Committee. At the Committee's first meeting in New York City, December, 1969, the following statement of its aims was authorised: The British-North American committee has been established to study and comment upon the developing relationships between Britain, the United States and Canada. It seeks to promote clearer understanding of the economic opportunities and problems facing the three countries, to explore areas of co-operation and of possible friction, and to discover constructive responses. It believes that sound relations between these three countries in the context of an increasingly interrelated world are essential to future prosperity and seeks to promote better understanding through the collection of facts and their widespread dissemination. In serving these aims, the Committee is sponsoring a series of objective studies undertaken by qualified experts in the three countries and published with the Committee's approval. On the basis of these factual studies and of discussions at its meetings, the Committee may also issue policy statements signed by its members. The Committee's membership-listed on pp. 45-50-includes business, banking, labour, agricultural, and professional leaders from Britain, the United States and Canada. The Committee is sponsored by three non-profit research organisations-the British-North American Research Association in London, the National Planning Association in Washington, and the C. D. Howe Research Institute in Montreal, described on pp. 51 and 52. The British-North American Committee is a unique organisation both in terms of its broadly diversified membership and in terms of its blending of factual studies and policy conclusions on British-North American relations. It meets twice a year, once in Great Britain and once in North America. Its work is jointly financed by funds contributed from private sources in Canada, Great Britain and the United States. SYNOPSIS: This publication on the GATT Negotiations comprises two elements: a report by Sidney Golt and a Policy Statement in which the Committee speaks out in its own voice on the subject. The Statement was adopted by the Committee during a regular semi-annual meeting at Key Largo, Florida, USA in December 1977. Signatures and footnotes of members endorsing it are appended.
