U.S. Information Agency film from the U.S. National Archives collections.
NARA description: "This film documents President Nixon's 1972 trips to the People's Republic of China, the Soviet Union, Iran, Poland, and Austria. Highlights include the exchange of toasts by Mr. Nixon and Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai and the signing of five major agreements by President Nixon and Russian leaders concerning cooperation in environmental protection, medicine, space, science and technology, and the use of the seas and other commercial relations."
Nerds Make Media comments: Richard Nixon takes a whirlwind global tour in this colorful propaganda film, rubbing shoulders with historic figures and several bloodthirsty criminals like the Shah of Iran and Henry Kissinger. First Lady Pat Nixon visits pandas in a zoo. This breakthrough would soon lead to the loaning of several pandas to the National Zoo in Washington, DC.
