In his address at the Commencement Exercises of the University, May 22, 1977, President Carter outlined the principles and goals on which the foreign policy of the United States Government understands itself to be based. Given the nature of the topic, the editors of The Review judged that it would be a service to our readers to print it here. The text is complete except for the opening remarks directed to the immediate audience.

From 1919 to 1942, Peruvian foreign policy focused on two interrelated issues: the resolution of Peru's territorial disputes with Chile, Colombia and Ecuador, and the reconciliation of an expanding and deepening relationship with the United States government. The two issues were entwined since the Peruvian government and people, for part of the period, expected the support and assistance of the United States government in resolving the three territorial issues. Partially in an attempt to respond to these expectations, the United States government was aggressively and extensively involved, albeit sometimes in a manner contrary to Peruvian desires, in the resolution of all three disputes. On the whole, United States foreign policy seldom equaled Peruvian expectations throughout the period, and its failure to do so precipitated or accelerated the growth of major new tenets in Peruvian foreign policy.

GOVERNMENT stocks of surplus agricultural commodities, which reached a record level of over nine billion dollars in February 1956, have moved to the center of the stage in recent agricultural legislation and discussions of the farm problem. Reasons for this prominence are numerous. Most obvious perhaps is simply the reaction against the apparent waste of resources in building up huge stocks for which no clear use is in sight. Merely to maintain stocks of this magnitude is a costly undertaking and has necessitated an uneconomic expansion of storage facilities. Little wonder, then, that more and more attention is being devoted to finding means for disposing of this vast mass of agricultural products acquired by the United States government as a prop to farm prices.

AbstractTwo-dimensional (2D) cross sections through three-dimensional (3D) polycrystalline materials present a biased picture of the statistical properties of grain boundary networks. These properties are essential to many practical applications such as grain boundary engineering. We show a simple correction that will partly correct for the sampling biases by removing the effect of the correlation between grain boundary type and grain boundary area. This correction alters number fraction estimates by as much as ∼60% for σ3 boundaries in the highly-twinned copper samples we consider. We also estimate the bias introduced by the correlation between boundary type and boundary shape, which for many materials represents perhaps a 10% shift in the measured statistics, so that the simple method we propose should correct for the majority of the bias in favorable cases.This document was prepared as an account of work sponsored by an agency of the United States Government.

The passionate “Biafra Lobby” in the United States is a perfect example of the moral and political pitfalls of organized pleading and pressure on particular international problems The pro Biafra crusade is an improbable conglomeration of the New Left and old right idealists and hierlings American citizens and foreigners churchmen and secularists isolationists and interventionists. Though no clear common concern unites these diverse persons most of them agree that the United States Government should do more than it is now doing to feed starving Biafrans and many of them seem to believe that the U.S. hands-off policy toward the brutal civil war in Nigeria is immoral because it interferes with mercy measures and denies the Biafrans the “right of self-determination.”
