Responsive to NSDM-314, I submit herewith the first annual report on International Population Policy, which has been prepared by the Interagency Task Force on Population Policy. The report was approved by all Members of the Under Secretaries Committee; Treasury submitted a statement of clarification, which is attached to the report. This report develops further the general strategy set forth in NSSM-200 study (approved by NSDM-314). It underscores in particular the NSSM-200 recommendation that the President and the Secretary of State, as well as our Ambassadors and others, treat the subject of population growth as a matter of paramount importance and address it specifically in their regular contacts with leaders of other governments, particularly less developed countries (LDC’s). In the last analysis, the problem must be resolved by the countries threatened by excessive population growth. Increasingly, these problems are being met through specific measures such as better education and information programs, better outreach of family planning services and supplies, the development of more effective and acceptable means of contraception, changes in laws and policies to support family planning such as delayed marriage, and, most importantly, the improved status of women.

More of the Introduction follows. The Report is several pages long:
In order to maximize U.S. popular and Congressional understanding and support for our international population programs, we recommend that at a suitable time there be at least a brief public Presidential statement of our international population policy and objectives.
In the last analysis, the problem must be resolved by the countries threatened by excessive population growth. Increasingly, these problems are being met through specific measures such as better education and information programs, better outreach of family planning services and supplies, the development of more effective and acceptable means of contraception, changes in laws and policies to support family planning such as delayed marriage, and, most importantly, the improved status of women.
However, even in the aggregate, we believe that these approaches are inadequate to cope with the total problem. The report (Section II) therefore emphasizes three additional principal lines of attack that have already proved successful in several countries; and we should find ways to encourage their replication elsewhere: (a) strong direction from national and provincial leaders; (b) emphasis on community participation to root family planning in village life; and (c) integration of health, family planning, and nutrition, including training of competent multi-purpose paramedics to provide fellow villagers with family planning as well as other medical services. As for (c), Secretary Kissinger has already advocated this approach at the United Nations General Assembly Special Session last September and more recently at the Nairobi United Nations Conference on Trade and Development.
It should be emphasized that the funding levels set forth in Section VI of the attached report are illustrative only.
In the next few months as a matter of high priority, the Task Force will be directing special attention to how best to promote and strengthen effective population strategies in the key 13 countries cited in NSSM-200/NSDM-314, including our estimates of projected funding requirements. In addition, the Task Force will examine expected sources and adequacies of food, the relationship between these patterns and population growth, and implications for our population and other assistance programs. Over the longer term, the Task Force will be assisting AID’s continuing efforts to develop and improve methods by which performance criteria for our programs in the key 13 and other countries can be utilized in the most effective and directed way.
Clearly, there is need for an expanded worldwide effort to cope with the problem. As pointed out in our assessment (Section I), excessive population growth is causing serious environmental deterioration, rising unemployment and underemployment, and a surge of humanity into cities where jobs, housing, sanitation, and other basic facilities are lacking. These overcrowded cities are spawning crime, social unrest, and potential extremism, all with serious strategic implications. Our own national security interests are ultimately affected. As nations increasingly feel the impact of excessive population growth, interest grows, and requests for assistance mount in this field. Any delays in implementing effective population programs will only make the ultimate problem far more serious and intractable. Under these circumstances, we believe there is clear justification for increased funding levels (generally as recommended in NSSM-200) which, together with anticipated increased contributions by recipient nations, other donors, and international organizations and private voluntary groups, will result in a more vigorous, effective attack on the problem.
It is specifically recommended that you:
(a) Approve the general strategy reflected in this paper, including a Presidential statement (proposed text is attached) at a suitable time, and
(b) Approve in principle an expansion of AID’s population assistance program. The attached First Annual Report (specifically in Section VI) sets forth general program directions as well as illustrative funding levels.

This is the beating elitist heart behind the absolute ruse that is the so-called Global Warming or Climate Change movement.
What they really want is depopulation. From north of 8 billion living humans on earth to “comfortably” less than 1 billion.
Yes, I agree. This is the ‘Eugenics’ Model that Kissinger proposed. Interestingly enough, the Explorer Jaques Cousteau recommended a population of 300 Million for earth.
I included the whole report so that anyone that is interested can research at the Archives. Here is an AI summary:
The 1974 Kissinger Report, officially known as National Security Study Memorandum 200 (NSSM 200), was a classified study completed on December 10, 1974, under the direction of Henry Kissinger for the U.S. National Security Council. The report, titled “Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests,” claimed that population growth in so-called Lesser Developed Countries (LDCs) posed a grave threat to U.S. national security. It outlined a covert plan to reduce population growth in these countries through birth control, and also, implicitly, through war and famine.
The study was reworked and adopted as official U.S. policy through National Security Decision Memorandum 314 by President Gerald Ford on November 26, 1975.
It was initially classified for over a decade and declassified in 1985.
The report specifically targeted thirteen countries for population control: India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nigeria, Mexico, Indonesia, Brazil, the Philippines, Thailand, Egypt, Turkey, Ethiopia, and Colombia.
It emphasized the importance of abortion as a population control measure and tied U.S. foreign aid to a country’s willingness to participate in population control programs.
The document has been controversial, with some critics arguing that it represents a plan for global depopulation and has raised concerns about the continuation of such policies.
Does anyone else see the connection between spending $3 Billion in Somalia and this report? What is the strategic interest of the US in Somalia?
If that were the case then why would they be moving so many millions to the West?
America alone has already increased by about 100/120 million as a result of post 1965 immigration and it seems they want no end to it which will lead to an American population of a billion at some point.
300 million MAXIMUM will never work===
295 million will consider themselves ELITE and, like BERNIE SANDERS, NEVER do a lick of work.
NO FOOD—NO CLOTHES-—NO HOMES-— NO TRANSPORTATION, ETC
“If that were the case then why would they be moving so many millions to the West?”
What you’ve cited is part of the Cloward-Piven Strategy of destruction via overwhelm.
My point is that they aren’t reducing the population to one billion, instead they are vastly increasing the populations by drowning the West in people while the third world shows overwhelming population growth of its own.
Apologies.
It looked as if you were asking a question, rather than making a point.
Surely you are familiar with Cloward-Piven?
Satan wants us to destroy ourselves and these people are helping him directly.
“”””What they really want is depopulation. From north of 8 billion living humans on earth to “comfortably” less than 1 billion.””””
That isn’t what I see, America is already up to 340 million alone with about 100/120 million of that from JFK’s immigration plan, and the left is flooding America and the West with masses of populations which are also of high birth rate.
If the left has America alone on a path to a billion people then what of the rest of the world?
You are clearly not familiar with the Cloward-Piven Strategy.
This Guy recommends you bone up.
Evidently you have no idea what you say, you just post.
bump
Cloward-Piven, named after two Columbia professors, is frankly something one needs to research for oneself to get a true sense of its diabolical, anti-American nature, and to appreciate the mind-numbing scale of its use for decades to drag this country down into the gutter.
“”””What they really want is depopulation. From north of 8 billion living humans on earth to “comfortably” less than 1 billion.””””
You obviously can’t explain or defend that post.
Perhaps this is a problem that develops when (1) consilience over decades has cemented a final conclusion in This Guy’s mind, and (2) This Guy is not necessarily interested in returning to the debate.
Wow, you can’t explain your post at all.
Won’t.
Is there not a difference?
