Muskie and Carter thumbing a ride to Europe. 'Why don't you go back and hide in the trees, and let me take over the thumbing for a while!', May 12, 1980
Scope and Content Note
President Carter had instituted a series of "get tough" foreign policy initiatives in reponse to the Iran hostage taking and Soviet intervention in Afghanistan. Despite misgivings, on April 22, 1980, NATO governments agreed to consider sanctions against Iran as a way to help stave off a U.S. military response. Two days later, on April 24, Carter launched the Desert One mission. As the new Secretary of State took office, Carter's credibility in NATO... was rapidly eroding. Anita Holst-Jensen.
