Dr. Frederick Wills served the government of Guyana in various posts, including Justice Minister and Foreign Minister. In the mid-1970s, he came into contact with the Lyndon LaRouche organization, and on September 27, 1976, he made an address to the United Nations General Assembly, promoting LaRouche's proposal for a Third World debt moratorium. Wills said:
- "The billions on this planet who live in the developing countries and whose existence is subjected to the constraints of the few who manipulate to their advantage the present-day economic system, have pinned their hopes on the modest programme put forward in Nairobi and elsewhere. Their determination is adamant, inexorable and relentless. The IMF and the Bretton Woods monetary system must give way to alernative structures such as the international development banks, which are not geared to the revival and reconstruction of Europe nor preferential arrangements for the developed market economies, but rather to the just distribution of the gains of an equitable global system...."
In the late 1970s, he broke with the Forbes Burnham government, and went into exile in the United States, where he became a leading member of the LaRouche movement. He also found a position at Rutgers University. Wills died in 1993.
