More Information
On Wednesday, November 12, at 10 AM, the 威尼斯人娱乐场 hosts the annual Nixon Legacy Forum. An expert panel will discuss President Nixon鈥檚 historic opening to China. This event is free and open to the public and will be held in the William G. McGowan Theater of the 威尼斯人娱乐场 Building in Washington, DC. Attendees should use the Special Events entrance, located on Constitution Avenue at 7th Street, NW. The building is fully accessible. Metro: Yellow or Green lines, Archives/Navy Memorial station.
President Nixon's trip to China in 1972 ended twenty-five years of isolation between the United States and the People's Republic of China and resulted in establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries in 1979. His opening to China was the public result of sensitive diplomatic initiatives. Former members of the National Security Council staff discuss their behind-the-scenes efforts as well as the ramifications for the United States and its allies. Jonathan Howe, Winston Lord, Nicholas Platt, and Richard Solomon form the panel moderated by Fox News National Security Analyst K. T. McFarland. This program is presented in partnership with the Richard Nixon Foundation.
