Nixon Legacy Forum: Detente & Arms Control with the USSR
- Date: Monday, February 23, 2015
- Time: 3:00 pm
- Location: William G. McGowan Theater, Washington, DC
In May 1972, President Richard Nixon travelled to Moscow to sign the historic Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty (SALT) with USSR President Leonid Brezhnev. It followed Nixon’s February 1972 trip to China, and set the stage for the January 1973 Paris Peace Accords which ended the Vietnam War.
This panel features former members of the National Security Council staff discussing their behind-the-scenes efforts, and how Nixon’s diplomacy with the USSR included detente and arms control. The panel will include Phil Odeen, Jan Lodal, David Aaron, and Winston Lord, and be moderated by FOXNews National Security Analyst KT McFarland.
Presented by the National Archives in partnership with the Richard Nixon Foundation.
