Rockefeller had a lifelong association with the [[Council on Foreign Relations]] (CFR) when he joined as a director in 1949.<ref>{{harvp|Zweig|1995|p=110}}</ref> In 1965, Rockefeller and other businessmen formed the [[Council of the Americas]] to stimulate and support economic integration in the Americas. In 1992, at a Council sponsored forum, Rockefeller proposed a "Western Hemisphere free trade area", which became the [[Free Trade Area of the Americas]] in a Miami summit in 1994. His and the council's chief liaison to President [[Bill Clinton]] in order to garner support for this initiative was through Clinton's chief of staff, [[Mack McLarty]], whose consultancy firm [[Kissinger McLarty Associates]] is a corporate member of the council, while McLarty himself is on the board of directors.<ref>{{harvp|Rockefeller|2002|p=437}}</ref> He was a trustee of the [[Carnegie Endowment for International Peace]], including in 1948, when [[Alger Hiss]] was president.<ref>{{cite magazine
