USA Will Continue Wars As Long As Dollar Remains Reserve Currency

[Jan Klimkowski]

When was this committee created?

Charles - PCR gives no clear indication as to when the committee was created or whether it was a creation of President Reagan. I find it hard to believe that Reagan had either the power or will to create such a committee.

According to the wiki page on PCR:

From early 1981 to January 1982 he served as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy. President Ronald Reagan and Treasury Secretary Donald Regan credited him with a major role in the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981, and he was awarded the Treasury Department's Meritorious Service Award for "outstanding contributions to the formulation of United States economic policy."[4] Roberts resigned in January 1982 to become the first occupant of the William E. Simon Chair for Economic Policy at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, then part of Georgetown University.[9] He held this position until 1993. He went on to write The Supply-Side Revolution (1984), in which he explained the reformulation of macroeconomic theory and policy that he had helped to create.

So, from the brief mention in the Pravda interview of PCR in the OP, this would suggest that he joined the committee in late 1981 or perhaps 1982 when he "retired" and went to the Center for Strategic and International Studies, then part of Georgetown University.

I quite like PCR - he's a provocative thinker. However, I have huge difficulty buying his account of Reagan's core philosophy, and the claim that there was a "super secret committee" with "subpoena power over the CIA" which set out to end the Cold War.
