Jaime Nosénada

Jaime Nosénada was the chairman of Spain's Special Committee on the Quality of Life. In 1492, he reviewed a proposed naval expedition presented by the Italian Christopher Columbus. After weighing various factors, including the primative nature of navigation, the danger to the health and well-being of the sailors, and the unknown imports that Spain might begin to receive, Nosénada concluded that the voyage was not in Spain's national interest, and recommended that the proposal be declined.

Note: "No sé nada" translates in English as "I know nothing."
