The Office of the Historian, U.S. Department of State, will host a conference on the Arab-Israeli Crisis and War of 1967, within the broader context of U.S. relations with the Middle East during the Johnson administration. The conference will be held on January 12 and 13, 2004, in Washington, DC, and coincide with the release of the forthcoming volume in the Department of State’s historical series, Foreign Relations of the United States, vol. XIX, The Arab-Israeli Crisis and War, 1967. The volume covers the period from May 1967, when Egyptian President Nasser requested the removal of the United Nations Emergency Force, to November 1967, when the United Nations passed Resolution 242. The Office of the Historian invites proposals for original papers on topics relating to the pre-war regional crises, the war itself, and the immediate post-war impact. Paper proposals should concentrate on the time period under consideration. Possible themes include:
- Origins of the 1967 war (e.g., military and strategic decisions, Arab states and leaders, Israel, the United States, and the Soviet Union)
- U.S. diplomacy leading up to and during the war
- The USS Liberty incident and the role of intelligence
- Immediate consequences of the crisis and war (e.g., for NATO, the first oil embargo, the regional balance of power)
- Regional and international economic dislocations (e.g., Suez canal closure)
- U.S. view of post-war problems (e.g., Palestinians, refugees)
- U.N. Resolution 242
- Other immediate post-war issues
