Nixon. The subseries will present a documentary record of major foreign policy decisions and actions of President Nixon's administration.

The documents selected focus heavily upon the perspectives of Nixon and Kissinger but also include those of Secretary of State Rogers, Secretary of Defense Laird, Under Secretary of State Richardson and others.
