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. Nixon and Gerald R. Ford presidential administrations. Because of the long-term nature of the 1970s energy crisis, however, this volume includes the period of the Jimmy Carter administration, covering U.S. policy from August 1974 until January 1981. The documentation in this volume focuses primarily on Ford and Carter policies aimed at mitigating the damage to the U.S. and global economy caused by rising oil prices imposed in 1973 by the OPEC cartel, and in 1978 by the perceived shortage of oil supplies resulting from the Iranian Revolution. Compiled and edited by Steven G. Galpern, the volumeis available on the Office of the Historian Web site. Read more >
