Richard Nixon Briefings

Series

The series contains periodic compilations prepared for former President Richard Nixon to keep him updated on developments around the world that might impact U.S. foreign affairs policies. The briefings were not intended to cover every foreign affairs development, just the most significant ones. Although news notes about various countries appear, they disproportionately concern the Soviet Union and China. There are also significant numbers of items on our NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) allies, especially France, West Germany, and the United Kingdom. Another major focus was developments in Indochina during the closing months of the Vietnam War. Many developments concerning OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries), the Cyprus crisis, and tensions and negotiations in the Middle East also appear.
