- International Development and Economic Defense Policy, 1964–1968 In Foreign Relations of the United States, 1964–1968, Vol. 9. "Overview The editors selected only the most important reports from diplomatic posts, particularly those containing records of multilateral international conferences on economic subjects and significant conversations held with foreign leaders and their diplomatic representatives on economic issues. Details of military and economic assistance programs for specific nations or their implementation are not included."
- Foreign Assistance, International Development, Trade Policies, 1969–1972 In Foreign Relations of the United States, 1969–1976, Volume 9. " The first compilations in this volume focus on President Nixon's interest in developing bold and flexible foreign assistance and development policies (such as utilization of the private sector for foreign direct investment, which included the establishment of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation) and the administration's responses to the bureaucratic interplay among the concerned government departments and agencies and to the resistance from the Office of Management and Budget and Congress toward its proposed funding levels. A related compilation treats the emergence of an administration policy involving sanctions in reaction to the expropriation of U.S. properties without reasonable compensation by expropriating governments, particularly those of Peru, Bolivia, and Chile."
- Human Rights and Humanitarian Affairs, 1977-1980 In Foreign Relations of the United States, 1977–1980, Volume 2. "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."
