Background to series: The "Foreign Relations of the United States
"series presents the official documentary historical record of
major foreign policy decisions and significant diplomatic activity
of the United States Government. The Historian of the Department of
State is charged with the responsibility for the preparation of the
"Foreign Relations "series. The staff of the Office of the
Historian, Bureau of Public Affairs, under the direction of
theGeneral Editor of the "Foreign Relations "series, plans,
researches, compiles, and edits the volumes in the series.
Secretary of State Frank B. Kellogg first promulgated official
regulations codifying specific standards for the selection and
editing of documents for the series on March 26, 1925. These
regulations, with minor modifications, guided the series through
1991.Public Law 102-138, the Foreign Relations Authorization Act,
established a new statutory charter for the preparation of the
series, which was signed by President George H.W. Bush on October
28, 1991. Section 198 of P.L. 102-138 added a new Title IV to the
Department ofState's Basic Authorities Act of 1956 (22 U.S.C. 4351,
et seq.). The statute requires that the "Foreign Relations "series
be a thorough, accurate, and reliable record of major United States
foreign policy decisions and significant United States diplomatic
activity. The volumes of the series should include all records
needed to provide comprehensive documentation of major foreign
policy decisions and actions of the United States Government. The
statute also confirms the editing principles established by
Secretary Kellogg: the "Foreign Relations "series is guided by the
principles of historical objectivity and accuracy; records should
not be altered or deletions made without indicating in the
publishedtext that a deletion has been made; the published record
should omit no facts that were of major importance in reaching a
decision; and nothing should be omitted for the purposes of
concealing a defect in policy. The statute also requires that the
"Foreign Relations "series be published not more than 30 years
after the events recorded. The editors are convinced that this
volume meets all regulatory, statutory, and scholarly standards of
selection and editing. This volume is part of a Foreign Relations
subseries that documents the most important issues in the foreign
policy of the administration of Jimmy Carter. It illustrates the
Carter administration's efforts to define and implement a
broad-based human rights policy, including the establishment of the
Bureau of Human Rights and Humanitarian Affairs within the
Department of State, the creation of human rights coordinating and
review groups, issuance of a Presidential Directive on human
rights, institutionalization and standardization of human rights
reporting, and pursuit of human rights within the United Nations
and other multilateral venues.The volume also documents steps
undertaken by the Carter administration to fight hunger, launch a
global health initiative, and advocate for women's rights. This
volume was compiled and edited by Kristin L. Ahlberg.
