Reuters published an article titled "Clinton Names Hawke, Geithner To Top Treasury Posts." Conspicuously absent from the title is Edwin Truman, also named to a top treasury post.

Edwin Truman is a Council on Foreign Relations member. Clinton's Deputy Secretary of the Treasury, Roger Altman, is also a Council on Foreign Relations members.

In 1988, Timothy Geithner, worked for the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a CFR Washington based think-tank ( see The CFR & the Center for Strategic and International Studies ).

John Hawke, was an intelligence operative who worked in Portugal in 1965. Just about every CIA director, including CIA directors John Deutch, and R. James Woolsey, and CFR member Clinton's first choice for Deutch's spot, National Security Advisor Anthony Lake, is a Council on Foreign Relations member.

The Reuters article follows :

Title-50 War and National Defense § 783 states - "It shall be unlawful for any person knowingly to combine, conspire, or agree with any other person to perform any act which would substantially contribute to the establishment within the United States of a totalitarian dictatorship, the direction and control of which is to be vested in, or exercised by or under the domination of control of, any foreign government."

The Council on Foreign Relations are in violation of Title-50 War and National Defense § 783. The Council on Foreign Relations has unlawfully and knowingly combined, conspired, and agreed to substantially contribute to the establishment of one world order under the totalitarian dictatorship, the direction and the control of members of Council on Foreign Relations, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, and members of their branch organizations in various nations throughout the world. That is totalitarianism on a global scale.
