State Releases New Volume in Foreign Relations of the United States Series

Foreign Relations of the United States, 1969—1976, Volume XXXVII, Energy Crisis, 1974—1980 is part of a subseries of the Foreign Relations series that documents the most important foreign policy issues of the Richard M.

Compiled and edited by Steven G. Galpern, the volumeis available on the Office of the Historian Web site. Read more >
