When they're over-- FADE IN ON: A TINY BLACK PIECE OF TAPE. We see it in the center of the large, dimly lit screen. As the tape is pressed around a door-- BEGIN THE BREAK-IN SEQUENCE. It's a major piece of action, running maybe five minutes and it's all as detailed and accurate as we can make it, with as many "if only's" included as possible. ("If only" the tape had been attached up and down instead of around the door, Wills wouldn't have spotted it and alerted the police; "if only" the first police car called had gone to investigate, Baldwin, watching from the Howard Johnson Motor Inn, would have seen their uniforms and radioed Hunt and Liddy in time for them to have gotten to the five burglars and then safely away.) The break-in ends when Leeper arrests the five men. He thought he only had one guy, so when ten hands were raised he was surprised. The hands are all encased in Playtex rubber surgical gloves.

The project aims to streamline the transition process and enhance the staff’s understanding of key White House operations. The WHTP reports are written by presidential scholars from across the country who draft essays about past transitions and the inner workings of key White House offices. The reports have been produced for presidential transitions in 2001, 2009 and now 2017. The WHTP maintains an important international dimension by consulting with foreign governments and organizations interested in improving governmental transitions. http://whitehousetransitionproject.org/ Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy The mission of Rice University’s Baker Institute is to help bridge the gap between the theory and practice of public policy by drawing together experts from academia, government, media, business and nongovernmental organizations.

    Nixon Legacy Forum Transcript: The Week That Changed the World Part I October 13, 2010 University of Southern California Los Angeles, CA Panelists: Colonel Jack Brennan, Marine Corps Aide to the President Dwight Chapin, Deputy Special Assistant to the President and Acting Chief of Protocol during President Nixon's 1972 trip to China Larry Higby, Assistant Chief-of-Staff to the President Clayton Dube (Moderator), Associate Director of the USC U.S.-China Institute Clayton Dube: Hi. My name is Clayton Dube, and it's my privilege to be from on the USC U.S.-China Institute. And it's a big week here at USC. On Friday, we are going to be inaugurating C.L. “Max” Nikias as the 11th president of the university. While he was provost, Max Nikias established the USC U.S.-China Institute, expressly to focus on the U.S.-China relationship in all its dimensions, how it was changing, why it mattered, and to look at critical trends in contemporary China. This focus on China remains a strategic priority here at USC. Unfortunately, President Nikias has another commitment and can't be with us today, but he asked that I extend to you his warmest of welcomes. And it's of course my pleasure to do just that. Thank you all for coming to today's symposium. We're going to be looking back at what went into making “the week that changed the world,” that week in February 1972 when President Nixon traveled to China. We are extremely fortunate to have a distinguished panel to speak on that subject.

  • Nixon, Kissinger, and the “Soviet Card” in the U.S. Opening to China, 1971–1974*
    evelyn goh Nixon, Kissinger, and the “Soviet Card” in the U.S. Opening to China, 1971–1974* The dramatic reconciliation with the People’s Republic of China in 1972 stands as one of Richard Nixon’s greatest achievements as the thirty-seventh president of the United States. While previous administrations had attempted minor modifications of the policy of containment and isolation of China, Nixon managed to negotiate a top-level reconciliation that would lead to normaliza- tion of relations in 1979.1 This rapprochement ended more than twenty years of Sino-American hostility and represented the most significant strategic shift of the Cold War era. It was intimately connected to U.S. relations with its super- power rival and the Nixon administration’s general policy of détente. In the writings of Nixon and his national security adviser Henry Kissinger—the key primary accounts of the policy change until recently—the central logic of the U.S.-China rapprochement was “triangular relations.” Within the context of the Sino-Soviet split, this entailed the opening of relations between the United States and China, bringing China into the realm of great power relations as a third vital power separate from the Soviet Union. The utility of triangular politics was derived from the expectation, accord- ing to Kissinger, that “in a subtle triangle of relations between Washington, Beijing and Moscow, we improve the possibilities of accommodations with each as we increase our options toward both.”2 The aim of pursuing better relations with both the PRC and the Soviet Union accorded with Nixon’s professed strat- egy of détente, to reduce international tensions and American overseas defense *The author would like to thank Rosemary Foot, Alastair Iain Johnston, Jeffrey Engel, Robert Schulzinger, and two anonymous referees for their comments and suggestions.

  • Washington Decoded
    Washington Decoded 11 June 2014 Naftali Reconsidered By Max Holland Since late April, Reuters, the Orange County Register, The Nation, Los Angeles Times, and The New Yorker have published articles lamenting the lack of a director at the Richard M. Nixon Library (RMNL) in Yorba Linda, California.[1] All the articles (excepting Jeffrey Frank’s slightly more nuanced New Yorker piece) have the same narrative, almost as if they were part of an orchestrated campaign. The uncommon delay in finding a new permanent director (going on three years) is the fault of Nixon partisans, so the story goes, who are holding out for a congenial person to rehabilitate the only president to resign in disgrace. And the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is being stymied in its admirable effort to present Nixon in an objective, unvarnished light. As proof, the articles reprise the conventional, heroic narrative about the tenure of Tim Naftali, who headed the library from 2007 to 2011. Naftali “presided over the installation of a new, historically accurate Watergate exhibit,” The Nation article said, which Nixon loyalists “vehemently objected to,” according to Reuters. That left Naftali “fiercely at odds with the . [Nixon] family and close supporters of the 37th president,” the Orange County Register reported. The Register also quoted Naftali to level the allegation that Nixon loyalists are consciously stalling so they can allegedly “write the text” for a pending $15 million renovation of the museum, which is the public face of the library, since most visitors to Yorba Linda do not use the archives. The Los Angeles Times article dispensed with a reporter and made these points in an article written by Naftali himself.

  • Why the Federal Adoption Tax Credit Should Not Subsidize International Adoptions
    IF CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME, WHY DO WE GO SEARCHING ABROAD? WHY THE FEDERAL ADOPTION TAX CREDIT SHOULD NOT SUBSIDIZE INTERNATIONAL ADOPTIONS by DeLeith Duke Gossett Charity begins at home, and justice begins next door. ~ Charles Dickens Currently, nearly half a million children reside in United States foster care, some “aging out” without ever having been adopted. As incentive for placing children from foster care in permanent homes, Congress passed a series of legislative measures, including a federal adoption tax credit, that were intended to promote adoption from foster care. However, recent years have seen a cultural trend, led by the unlikely pairing of celebrities and evangelical Christians, towards international adoption. Although the federal adoption tax credit was originally intended to benefit domestic orphans, those who adopt internationally are now receiving the same tax benefits as those who adopt from foster care. This Article examines the historical trends of domestic and international adoption, as well as the current international adoption movement. It looks at the issue from an intermediate approach to social distributive justice theories and asks whether American taxpayers should be underwriting international adoptions when more than 100,000 available children await adoption at home. Ultimately, Professor Gossett concludes that the federal adoption tax credit should not be used to subsidize international adoptions while the very ones who were the originally intended beneficiaries of the legislation—those “lost in the system”—remain there. Associate Professor of Legal Practice, Texas Tech University School of Law. Professor Gossett would like to acknowledge and thank Dean Darby Dickerson and Texas Tech University School of Law for the generous support of this project.

  • Memorandum for Sharon Fawcett, Assistant Archivist, Office of Presidential Libraries, National Archives and Records Administration
    MEMORANDUM FOR SHARON FAWCETT, ASSISTANT ARCHIVIST, OFFICE OF PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARIES, NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS ADMINISTRATION From: Ronald H. Walker, Chairman and President, Richard Nixon Foundation Date: August 2, 2010 Subject: Response to Draft Watergate Exhibit We appreciate the opportunity to offer review and comment on Dr. Timothy Naftali’s proposed Watergate exhibit. When finalized, this exhibit will occupy the largest space devoted to a single issue in the Nixon Library. The content and design of the exhibit are obviously of great interest to the National Archives, the Nixon Foundation, the history community, the media, and the general public. It is likely true that no new exhibit in any presidential library will attract the level of scrutiny and attention that this new exhibit is likely to receive. Accordingly, we have devoted considerable time and resources to reviewing the proposed material. Our goal has been to offer a specific and constructive set of comments for your consideration. To pull together such a response I asked several people to review the material. Serving on the team were Bob Bostock, Dwight Chapin, Frank Gannon, Tod Hullin, and Sandy Quinn. We also benefited from the independent submission by Geoff Shepard. The review team has spent countless hours analyzing the proposed exhibit, performing independent research, and developing the comments we present in this memo. Our response is organized as follows: • Identify our shared goals for the exhibit; • Comments on the process used in drafting the exhibit; • General comment on the proposed exhibit as a whole; • Discussion of the “special environment” in which the Nixon Library operates; • Suggestions for collaboration on future exhibits; and • An alternate approach to the Watergate exhibit We also attach our specific comments regarding the proposed exhibit text to this memo for your consideration.

All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled Nixon's Trip to China and His Media Policy by YAO ZHANG has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Chester J. Pach Jr. Associate Professor of History Benjamin M. Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 Abstract ZHANG, YAO, M.A., August 2009, History Nixon's Trip to China and His Media Policy (125 pp.) Director of Thesis: Chester J. Pach Jr. This thesis reviews the Nixon administration’s media policy and its China policy. It focuses on exploring how the Nixon administration made Nixon’s trip to China in February 1972 a well-known public event. Using archival documents and other primary sources, this thesis examines the Nixon administration’s media approach during the rapprochement with China. It argues that media policy was always an important part of Nixon’s plan to improve relations with China. Nixon’s trip to China was not only a significant event in U.S.-Chinese relations, but also an ideal example to study the Nixon administration’s foreign policy and media policy. Approved: _____________________________________________________________ Chester J. Pach Jr. Associate Professor of History 4 Acknowledgments I would like to thank those individuals who have helped me generously with this thesis. Chester Pach, my advisor, has constantly provided guidance and criticism.
