This folder also raises and answers questions of the US principles of engagement with communist countries through the lens of tobacco trade disputes, detailing how the US finds a balance with Yugoslavia while maintaining the containment policy. In addition, much of the documents discuss a financial assistance package and its potential use as leverage for the US as it fostered deeper engagement with Yugoslavia, a uniquely non-aligned communist country. Overall, these documents offer a more personal flair through an abundance of person-to-person notes and briefings that range from presidential summaries on US-Yugoslavia bilateral relations to a singular demand that a meeting must be kept to 10 minutes long. Other documents include information on the Skopje earthquake, the India-Pakistan dispute, and a photo inferred to be a wooden charter for LBJ.
