American Committee on United Europe
- American Committee on United Europe
The American Committee on United Europe (ACUE), founded in 1949, was an American organization which sought to counter the Communist threat in Europe by promoting European political integration. Its first chairman was ex-wartime OSS head, William Joseph Donovan.
Declassified American government documents have shown that the ACUE was an important early funder of both the European Movement and the European Youth Campaign. The ACUE itself received funding from the Rockefeller and Ford foundations.
The U.S. policy was to promote a United States of Europe, and to this end the committee was used to discretely funnel CIA funds - by the mid 50's ACUE was receiving roughly $1,000,000 USD per year - to European pro-federalists supporting such organizations as the Council of Europe, the Schumann plan, and the proposed West European army.
