Paperback. Condition: Fine. Signed speech from former President Gerald R.

Octavo, 13pp. Illustrated pamphlet, stapled at spine. Housed in custom blue cloth chemise. A fine copy. Signed on the title page by President Gerald R. Ford. The Vladivostok Summit Meeting on Arms Control took place in 1974 between sitting President Gerald R. Ford and Soviet Premier Leonid Brezhnev, with the intention of extending arms control provisions between the United States and USSR. Both agreed to limit certain types of weapons, with some calling the summit the peak of détente between the nations. In this speech before the University of California, San Diego in 1986, Ford was cautiously critical of the Reagan administration's approach to arms control with the USSR, thinking that some of the gains in 1974 had been lost.

Victoria Cross official citation: The King has been graciously pleased to approve the award of the Victoria Cross for daring and valour in the attack on the German Naval Base at St. Nazaire, to:Commander Robert Edward Dudley Ryder, Royal Navy. For great gallantry in the attack on St Nazaire. He commanded a force of small unprotected ships in an attack on a heavily defended port and led H.M.S. Campbeltown in under intense fire from short range weapons at point blank range. Though the main object of the expedition had been accomplished in the beaching of Campbeltown, he remained on the spot conducting operations, evacuating men from Campbeltown and dealing with strong points and close range weapons while exposed to heavy fire for one hour and sixteen minutes, and did not withdraw till it was certain that his ship could be of no use in rescuing any of the Commando Troops who were still ashore. That his Motor Gun Boat, now full of dead and wounded, should have survived and should have been able to withdraw through an intense barrage of close range fire was almost a miracle.
