This volume documents the Nixon administration’s efforts to adapt the U.S.-Japan Alliance,
to reduce U.S. military involvement in Indochina, to improve relations with the Soviet Union
and the People’s Republic of China, and to realign an international economic system
following the Second World War.
These volumes are newly digitized as part of the Office's ongoing project, in
partnership with the University of Wisconsin Digital Collections Center, to digitize the
entire Foreign Relations series. They cover events that took place between 1874 and 1887 and were
originally published in print between 1875 and 1889.
This revised edition incorporates critical material found since the publication of the
first edition in 2014. This added material consists largely of personal handwritten notes
taken at the September 5–17, 1978, Camp David summit by Samuel W. Lewis, the U.S. Ambassador
to Israel from 1978 until 1985.
