authority of section 1105 of title 44 of the U.S. Code by the
Director of the GPO. The Manual is prepared by the GPO Style Board
as a guide to the style and form of federal government publishing.
The GPO Style Manual has become a major reference source for
professionals involved in the field of federal printing and
publishing. Designed to achieve uniform word and type treatment and
economy of word use in the form and style of government printing,
the Manual has become to be widely recognized by writers and
editors within and outside the federal government as one of the

This volume is part of a subseries of volumes of the Foreign
Relations series that documents the most important issues in the
foreign policy of the administrations of Richard M. Nixon and
Gerald R. Ford. The volume documents U.S. national security policy
from 1973 to 1976, covering Nixon's abbreviated second term in
office and the subsequent Ford administration, and should be
considered a companion to another volume in this subseries,
National Security Policy, 1969-1972 (volume XXXIV).
This volume is part of a Foreign Relations subseries that documents
the most important foreign policy issues of the Jimmy Carter
administration. The focus of this volume is on U.S. policy toward
the Soviet Union during the Carter administration, demonstrating
the growing tension between U.S. and Soviet leaders and the
eventual downfall of detente. Relations with the Soviet Union
remained at the top of Carter's foreign policy agenda, just as they
had been in the Nixon and Ford administrations. However, the U.S.
relationship with the Soviet Union was never simply bilateral in
nature; instead, the two super powers were actively engaged
politically throughout the world. Therefore, this volume includes
documentation on the Middle East, China, Eastern and Western
Europe, and the Horn, as well as SALT, emigration, and human
rights. This historical, primary source reference would be
invaluable to anyone interested in the Soviet-U.S. relations and
negotiations during President Carter's administration as well as
international relations scholars, foreign policy analysts,
political scientists and historians. Additionally some nonprofit
development directors and corporate global affairs staffers that
work to provide products or services in the Middle East, China,
Western Europe, and Soviet Union may be interested in the type of
past negotiations that led to US agreements within this part of the
world.
On 29 July 1958, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the National
Aeronautics and Space Act, creating the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA), which became operational on 1 October
of that year. Over the next 50 years, NASA achieved a set of
spectacular feats, ranging from advancing the well-established
field of aeronautics to pioneering the new fields of Earth and
space science and human spaceflight. In the midst of the
geopolitical context of the Cold War, 12 Americans walked on the
Moon, arriving in peace "for all mankind." Humans saw their home
planet from a new perspective, with unforgettable Apollo images of
Earthrise and the "Blue Marble," as well as the "pale blue dot"
from the edge of the solar system. A flotilla of spacecraft has
studied Earth, while other spacecraft have probed the depths of the
solar system and the universe beyond. In the 1980s, the evolution
of aeronautics gave us the first winged human spacecraft, the Space
Shuttle, and the International Space Station stands as a symbol of
human cooperation in space as well as a possible way station to the
stars. With the Apollo fire and two Space Shuttle accidents, NASA
has also seen the depths of tragedy. In this volume, a wide array
of scholars turn a critical eye toward NASA's first 50 years,
probing an institution widely seen as the premier agency for
exploration in the world, carrying on a long tradition of
exploration by the United States and the human species in general.
Fifty years after its founding, NASA finds itself at a crossroads
that historical perspectives can only help to illuminate.
