The Population Movement in the 1960's

John Tanton Video Interview 2006 - Topic 2

Dr. Tanton discusses books on population that were published in the 1950's through the 1960's. He learned of Zero Population Growth that was formed in 1969 and joined the organization. He discusses the Nixon "Rockefeller Commission" report of 1971 that concluded that immigration was "too sensitive to deal with". He realized that immigration would be the driving force behind US population growth and that perhaps we should pay some attention to it.
