Pedro González de Mendoza in "Report of the Special Committee on the Quality of Life"[]

Pedro González de Mendoza headed the second committee appointed by King Fernando and Queen Isabella to examine the feasibility of Cristóbal Colón's proposal to reach the Indies by sailing west. This committee rejected the plan in 1491.

Jaime Nosénada, chairman of the Special Committee on the Quality of Life, referenced the González commission's conclusion in his own report rejecting the Colón plan.[1]
