Foreign Alliances and Misalliances Part I
From the 7-part series The Presidency and the Constitution (1987)

An ally of the United States is under siege in his own country. How should we respond? What is the proper division of power between the President and the Congress in formulating our policy? Should arms be sold to this faltering leader? Should the U.S. make contact with the opposition? Panelists including former President Gerald Ford, Chief of Staff, Dick Cheney, Senators Kassebaum and Hatch and journalist Dan Rather are pushed by Moderator Schmidt to grapple with these and other tough issues in a challenging scenario.
