June 19th, 1973 - Second Détente Conference Recap

On June 19^th, 1973, President Nixon invited Prime Minister Brezhnev to a second Détente conference in Washington DC. Even more progress was made during these meetings including further discussion in SALT treaties along with discussion of European Security and the emigration of Jews to the USSR. President Nixon also presented Brezhnev with peace offerings such as a new Lincoln Continental and a stay at Camp David instead of the traditional Blair House. The discussions of that month were so successful in fact that Brezhnev once again invited President Nixon to Moscow for another Summit, which would take place the following year.
