Anne Bartley - InfluenceWatch

Bartley’s political career began in the early 1970s: Gov. David Pryor (D-AR) appointed her the first director of the Department of Arkansas Heritage in 1975, President Jimmy Carter appointed her to the influencewatch.org/person/anne-ba…

National Neighborhood Commission, and then-Governor Bill Clinton appointed her director of the Arkansas Washington office in 1979. She later worked as a staffer for Hillary Clinton in the First Lady’s Office from 1993 to 1995.
Anne Bartley, also known as Anne Bartley McNeil, is

the daughter of Jeanette Edris Bartley McDonnell, who was the spouse of Rockefeller heir and former Arkansas Governor Winthrop Rockefeller (R) from 1956 through 1971.

Anne Bartley is married to a former director of the Service Employees International Union’s (SEIU)

Institute for Change, Larry McNeil.

Bartley worked as a staffer for Hillary Clinton in the First Lady’s Office from 1993 to 1995. During this time, Bartley’s job consisted of writing memos and taking notes on topics such as gender equality, healthcare, non-profit agencies,

presidential boards and commissions, White House personnel matters, the arts and humanities, and Romania.

Bartley also sits on the board of directors for the Natural Resources Defense Council Action Fund, the advocacy arm of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). The

president of the Bauman Foundation, Patricia Bauman, also sits on the board of directors of the NDRC Action Fund,32 as did former Hillary Clinton campaign manager John Podesta between 2008 and 2014.

The NRDC was founded in 1970.[5][6] Its establishment was partially an outgrowth of the Scenic Hudson Preservation Conference v. Federal Power Commission, the Storm King case. The case centered on Con Ed's plan to build the world's largest hydroelectric facility at Storm King

Mountain.

The Natural Resources Defense Council started in 1970 from a partnership including attorneys of the Scenic Hudson Preservation Conference, led by Stephen Duggan.

John H. Adams was the group's first staff member and Duggan its founding chairman; Whitney North Seymour

and Laurance Rockefeller, and others served as members of the board.

Laurance Rockefeller became interested in UFOs. In 1993, along with his niece, Anne Bartley, the stepdaughter of Winthrop Rockefeller and the then-president of the Rockefeller Family Fund, he established the

UFO Disclosure Initiative to the Clinton White House. They asked for all UFO information held by the government, including from the CIA and the US Air Force, to be declassified and released to the public. The first and most important test case where declassification had to

apply, according to Rockefeller, was the Roswell UFO incident. In September 1994, the Air Force categorically denied the incident was UFO-related. Rockefeller briefed Clinton on the results of his initiative in 1995. Clinton did produce an Executive Order in late 1994 to

declassify numerous documents in the National Archives, but this did not specifically refer to UFO-related files.
