OverviewThis volume, the final of five covering relations between
the United States and the Soviet Union during the Nixon-Ford
administrations, presents documentation on how matters as diverse
as strategic arms limitation, European security, the Middle East,
Jewish emigration, and Angola intersected to influence the course
of Soviet-American relations during the presidency of Gerald R.
Ford. Documents published here reveal that Secretary of State Henry
Kissinger retained the central role in the formulation and
implementation of foreign policy on the Soviet Union that he
occupied during the Nixon administration and that his influence
remained undiminished in meetings between Ford and Soviet leader
Leonid Brezhnev at Vladivostok in 1974 and at Helsinki in 1975. The
volume devotes considerable space to the struggle in Washington
between politicians and policymakers over detente, and in
particular the October 1974 negotiations leading to the so-called
Jackson-Vanik amendment to the Trade Act of 1974, which linked the
extension of most favored nation status to an increase in Jewish
emigration from the Soviet Union. These negotiations highlighted
the domestic political implications of detente. Although the
Secretary of State was the driving force in Soviet affairs, the
documents reveal that President Ford also played an important role
in policy making. While Ford supported Kissinger's objectives, he
also advocated close consultation with Congress, demonstrating that
Ford--at least in style, if not in substance--pursued anything but
a continuation of his predecessor's approach to foreign policy.
