American Security Council. Strategy Board. 1984. (ASC's Washington office
is at 916 Pennsylvania Avenue SE, Washington DC 20003, Tel: 202-484-1676.)
This is a listing of the Strategy Board of the American Security
Council Foundation, and the National Strategy Committee of the American
Security Council. ASCF is the tax-exempt fundraising and educational arm
of ASC, which maintains its headquarters mansion on a 850-acre estate in
Boston, Virginia (65 miles southwest of Washington). In 1978, ASCF and ASC
formed the Coalition for Peace Through Strength to lobby for a hard line
against Communism in general and the SALT treaty in particular. ASC and ASCF
boast a number of generals, professors, corporate executives, ex-ambassadors,
and intelligence professionals on their boards. This is about as far right
as one can get and still remain respectable.
Originally founded in Chicago in 1955 as the Mid-American Research
Library, ASC's initial function was to screen job applicants for 1500
employers who were worried about hiring suspected Communists. In 1972 they
phased out the Chicago operation and shifted their focus to international
security and nuclear strategy. The personnel files, which ran to over six
million cards, are now gathering dust on their Virginia estate, housed in
the Sol Feinstone Library for the Survival of Freedom.
