===The Kissinger Report===
On December 10, 1974, the U.S. [[National Security Council]] under Kissinger completed a classified 200-page study, “National Security Study Memorandum 200: Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests.”<ref>[https://www.nssm200.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/NSSM-200.pdf Implications of Worldwide Population Growth For U.S. Security and Overseas Interests (THE KISSINGER REPORT)], National Security Study Memorandum NSSM 200 , December 10, 1974.</ref>
The study claimed that population growth in the so-called Lesser Developed Countries was a grave threat to U.S. national security and needed to be culled. Adopted as official policy in November 1975 by President Gerald Ford, NSSM 200 outlined a covert plan to reduce population growth in those countries through birth control, and also, implicitly, war and famine.
