What does it take to publish a #FRUS volume?
@StateDept historian James Graham Wilson says it’s a marathon, not a sprint.
From archival research and selection to peer reviews and interagency declassification, each volume takes years of meticulous work.

While it isn’t a blueprint for every scenario, @StateDept historian James Graham Wilson says the 2,705 combined pages of the START I Foreign Relations of the United States volumes map out what sustained, serious negotiation can achieve under pressure.

“Go to the sources.”
@StateDept historian James Graham Wilson hopes the #FRUS series helps students and the public empathize with the historical figures in these pages and grapple with their dilemmas. Faced with the same tradeoffs, what would you have done?

What sparks a life dedicated to the archives?
For @StateDept Historian James Graham Wilson, it traces back to high school documentaries, a dissertation at @UVA and a moderate obsession with the ideas and people that brought about the end of the Cold War.

What do you wish more people understood about the #FRUS series? State Department Historian James Graham Wilson breaks it down:
Myth: FRUS only publishes @StateDept documents.
Reality: Historians dig through CIA, Pentagon, NSC & presidential archives too.

In 1988, VP George H.W. Bush met privately with Soviet Foreign Minister Shevardnadze. His candid message? If elected, he'd have to work hard to get conservative support to ratify START.
An archival gem uncovered by @StateDept historian James Graham Wilson.

In 1966, Pres. Johnson signed the Freedom of Information Act — giving the public the right to request government records. It took effect in 1967. 60 years later, FOIA remains a cornerstone of government transparency and the #StateDept is leading the way. #FOIA #FRUS #FRUSRelease #USHistory #ForeignPolicy

In advance of the release of the movie #TheBrinkofWar next month, here is a #FRUS Starter Pack with documents covering the 1986 #Reykjavik Summit👇
In 1969, violence at a World Cup qualifier ignited a “Soccer War” between El Salvador and Honduras. Read the declassified U.S. diplomatic record, published in #FRUS in 2009:

On July 17, 1975, Apollo and Soyuz docked 140 miles above Earth. President Ford called the crews. Brezhnev sent a message. The handshake didn't happen by accident. #FRUS #NASM50

See the Ford-Brezhnev letters at @USNatArchives: https://t.co/68IITS9JOg
At the 1972 Moscow summit, Nixon and Brezhnev signed SALT I—and a space agreement. One clause called for compatible U.S.-Soviet docking systems. That technical sentence became Apollo-Soyuz three years later. @NASA @USNatArchives #FRUS #NASM50

In 1970, President Nixon reviewed a memo on international space cooperation and wrote in the margin: "This is a must." He wanted allied astronauts included in future missions—an idea that helped move space diplomacy from memo to policy. @USNatArchives #FRUS #NASM50
