Author Description

This volume documents U.S. efforts to negotiate multilateral agreements with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) allies and the Soviet Bloc, which would allow for greater European security. This volume has a broader scope than most, since it covers the entire span of both the Nixon and Ford administrations, 1969–1976. The volume is centered around two basic questions the U.S. Government faced: how best to achieve security and cooperation in Europe, and how to reduce both NATO and Warsaw Pact forces in Europe.
