BRAZIL LAUNCHES INQUIRY INTO
U.S. POPULATION ACTIVITIES
The charge: millions sterilised
to meet U.S. political objectives
A U.S.-sponsored program that resulted in the sterilisation of nearly half of Brazil's women has prompted a formal congressional inquiry, sponsored
by more than 165 legislators from every political party that is represented in the Brazilian legislature. The investigation was initiated after
information about a secret U.S. National Security Council memorandum on American population control objectives in developing countries was published
in the Jornal de Brasilia, Hova do Povo (Rio de Janeiro), Jornal do Brasil, and other major newspapers in early May.
That U.S. foreign policy document, officially known as National Security Study Memorandum 200 or NSSM 200, detailed a plan to target thirteen large
de- veloping nations with intensive efforts to promote population "policies'' that would allow the U.S. to run massive birth control and
sterilisation projects in those countries.
Brazil, the study said, was placed on the list of thirteen target nations because it "clearly dominates the continent [South America]
demographically,'' and its population was projected to equal that of the United States by the turn of the century. This, said the report which was
jointly prepared for the National Security Council (NSC) in 1974 by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the Departments of State and Defence (DOD),
and the Agency for International Development (USAID), suggests "a growing power status for Brazil in Latin America and on the world scene over the
next 25 years.''
