Many significant foreign policy events are covered in these files.

Other major topics are U.S. military bases and the presence of American troops, especially in Thailand, Philippines, Diego Garcia, Republic of China (Taiwan) and North and South Korea. General topics covered throughout the collection include trade, arms transfers, mutual defense agreements, and meetings between American and foreign leaders.
Documents concerning President Ford's trips to the region are also available. The President visited Japan and Korea in 1974, and the People's Republic of China, Indonesia, and the Philippines in 1975.
In addition, materials on the following countries appear: Australia, Brunei, Burma, Fiji, Guam, Hong Kong, Malaysia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Singapore, and Trust Territories of the Pacific Islands.
State Department telegrams provide an interesting look at international relations and communications between officials in Washington and staff at embassies throughout the region. They are valuable for on-the-scene current reporting and analyses of conversations and events.

Series
This series contains memoranda, briefing papers, reports, correspondence, notes, and messages. These items are usually from National Security Council (NSC) staff members to National Security Advisers Henry Kissinger and Brent Scowcroft or from Kissinger and Scowcroft to President Gerald Ford. Supplemental materials from the Departments of State and Defense and Central Intelligence Agency are often included with the NSC items.

Major topics include arms control negotiations, nuclear test ban negotiations, arms sales, military assistance for Israel, the Middle East peace process, reorganization of the intelligence community, Angola, Cuba, and the Soviet Union. Items concerning the Richard Nixon to Gerald Ford transition and worldwide reaction to President Ford's assumption of office are available, as well as briefing materials prepared for Donald Rumsfeld's confirmation hearings as Secretary of Defense. Other materials relate to personnel matters and administration and organization of the NSC.
The volume of material is uneven over the course of the Ford administration. This file contains relatively small amounts of material for several months of 1975, and nothing for September of that year.
