Acceptances to the World Advisory Council
La Pausa, France
May 1997

Dear Garry Davis,

Thank you for including me in your thinking for the new advisory council.
For me, the wife of Emery Reves, this is a great "happening."
I have learned in a short time, that the man who moves mountains is Garry Davis and the organization founding and all that it entails is overwhelming!
I accept to be a member of your advisory board and am honored.
My husband, Emery Reves, would have been proud that I come into his world, which has been the world of Garry Davis since many years.
Good luck, dear friend Garry, and God please give you courage which you so need, for all that you are doing.
Your admirer and "follower."
Wendy Reves

Dear Garry,

You know how much I share your thoughts and hopes. Of course I shall be happy to serve on the Advisory Council of the foundation, if the board of directors considers this to be useful. Probably the greatest contribution most of the proposed council members can make is to find suitable, but consideably younger successors.

I shall be seeing, probably, both Yehudi Menuhin and Peter Ustinov in Sept. when we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the world federalist movement in Montreuz. Maitre Max habicht, an international lawyer and Quaker and old friend of mine, called the first meeting in 1947 in Monteux. He is no longer with us and is sorely missed by other activists.

All good wishes to your first meeting of the board.

With greetings to all,.
Badi M. Lenz
Coordinator: World Forestry Commission

Dear Garry,

I am honored by the invitation to serve on the Advisory Council of the new World Citizen Foundation, and pleased to accept.
Alas, old friend, you and I probably won't be around to see it, but sooner or later all the work so many people have done to move us towards your and my world community will bingo. And you stand alone as the most dedicated, most persistent, and most effective. Wish there were more laurels!
With affection,
Sincerely,
Rufus King

My Dear Garry,

I was delighted to receive your letter of 21 April and kind invitation to join you in your Advisory Council of the newly formed World Citizen Foundation. It comes at a time when I am myself considering the creation of a Foundation next to the University for Peace on my 250 acres of primeval tropical, sacred land including Mount Rasur, wherefrom the God of the indigenous children appeared to them and predicted that from that hill a civilization of peace will extend the entire world.

As you could guess, I accept with enthusiasm your good offer and will help you in any way I can. A first idea: please write to Desmond Berghofer and Geraldine Schwartz who organized a wonderful meeting of eleven schools in Vancouver to celebrate Global Citizenship on 6 April when there remained 1000 days to the first of January 2000. The children and youth formulated their visions of the next century. Inform them of the creation of the Foundation and ask them to send you their documents and list of ideas of the youth. I am waiting for their final report to include them in my 2000 ideas to the year 2000. and to send them also the Secretary General of the UN. Herewith two main documents which I kept for that historical meeting.

We need a world movement or association of all groups around the world anxious to see the birth of a global citizenship and one world.

I develop several ideas in this respect in my 2000 ideas and recommend also that a major publisher should republish the Anatomy of Peace as a world best-seller. The world federalists are republishing Planethood by Ken Keyes and Ben Ferenz. I have recommended Ben Ferenz for the Nobel Prize for Peace.

With warm greetings of one who has never forgotten the man at the bridge of Kehl. When I return to Strasbourg in June I will go to it and thank God that your dream and that of Robert Schuman was fulfilled. Alas, Robert Shuman is dead. I went to his tomb to report it to him in 1994 when I crossed the bridge for the first time without any control.

Yours ever,
Robert Muller

Dear Gary,

I accept gladly your invitation to become a member of the Advisory Council for the World Citizen Foundation.
As you know, Burlington citizens have established strong people-to-people ties with sister cities around the globe. Indeed ours is a city that has officially recognized and acknowledged its global citizenship.
The World Citizen Foundation has the potential to foster and deepen our understanding of the inter-relationships among the citizens of this planet. I would be pleased to play a supporting role.
Thank you for inviting me to serve in this capacity.

Best regards,
Peter Clavelle
