Historically important manuscript by Richard Nixon with detailed, handwritten notes from August 1966. As Nixon was gearing up to run for President in the 1968 election, he here outlines various foreign policy themes integral to his future campaign, with Vietnam at the forefront. Upon a sheet of legal paper entitled ''Report on World'', Nixon outlines his views on Vietnam, writing that the U.S. is ''at a great turning point'' and it is ''Time for decision to end war.'' Nixon then outlines this plan in detailed notes, ''1. Unite the U.S. (secret weapon of Allies) / 2. Inform our allies...4. Quit talking with 2 voices - Need talk of victory - strength, unity. 5. Don't change policy toward China''. He continues, ''Result = Peace & freedom & progress.'' Regarding domestic policy, Nixon writes in part, ''High prices: who it hurts / who is to blame / How to end''. Document measures 8.5'' x 13.25'' on one single sheet with two staple holes at top left. Near fine.
