At that council dinner, Welch quoted himself from the John Birch Society's founding meeting in 1958 — 55 years ago now — laying out ten steps to destroy America. "A part of that plan, of course, is to induce the gradual surrender of American sovereignty, piece-by-piece and step-by-step, to various international organizations — of which the United Nations is the outstanding but far from the only example," he said.	+	'''Robert Welch''' (1900-1985) was a political activist who founded the [[John Birch Society]] in 1958 to fight [[Communism]], and dominated it until his death.
