Yeutter, Clayton (1930-2017). Architect of NAFTA who oversaw the negotiations with Canada under President Ronald ReaganBiblio.com

TYPED LETTER to SPIRO AGNEW'S CHIEF OF STAFF SIGNED by CLAYTON YEUTTER who later oversaw trade negotiations with Canada that led to NAFTA.

196895496Lincoln Nebraska October 26 1968. 1968. Fine. - Over 360 words typed on 11 inch high by 8-1/2 inch wide creamy white paper. Clayton Yeutter who later oversaw trade negotiations with Canada under Ronald Reagan thanks Spiro Agnew's chief of staff Arthur Sohmer for "the gracious invitation to visit you during my tenure at the Foreign Service Institute" though he declines since Sohmer will likely be very busy with his work for the Vice Presidential candidate in the final days of the Presidential campaign. Yeutter writes of having done some "farm policy work for Mr. Nixon" earlier and comments that the campaign appears to have a comfortable lead though he's concerned about the "Wallace movement" "We can do without a third party in this country and particularly without one that has the fascist trimmings of the American Freedom Party". Considering his later negotiations which brought about NAFTA it is interesting that Yeutter goes on to comment on how difficult it was to intensely study Spanish for 12 to 14 hours a day while at the FSI. Signed "Clayton". Folded horizontally and vertically for mailing else fine with the original mailing envelope bearing a Franklin D. Roosevelt U.S. postage stamp and with Sohmer's "Executive Department" address re-routed to his home. <p>The American lawyer Clayton Yeutter 1930-2017 was a farmer who served as the U.S. trade representative under Ronald Reagan. Yeutter was involved in the multilateral trade negotiations with Uruguay which resulted in creation of the World Trade Organization. He oversaw the negotiations which led to the Canada-United States Free Trade Agreement and subsequently led to further negotiations with Mexico resulting in NAFTA. Yeutter went on to serve as Agriculture Secretary under President George H.W. Bush. Lincoln, Nebraska, October 26, 1968. unknown

YEMEN FROM THE AIRBiblio.com

Two albums containing 230 photographs of Yemen Ethiopia and Somaliland.

1935169367Aden: 1935-36. A superb window onto Yemen in the 1930s Two albums depicting the experiences of British servicemen stationed in Yemen around the time of the Second Italo-Abyssinian War 1935-7 mixing the documentary and the personal. The images include very rare contemporary aerial photographs of towns including Aden Ta'izz and Shibam graphic pictures of war in Addis Ababa urban military and agricultural scenes and records of free time on the RAF base at Khormaksar. Nearly all carry explanatory manuscript captions. Aden was of crucial strategic importance to the British Empire having been brought under the control of the East India Company in 1839. After the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869 it became one of the world's busiest ports. The RAF maintained a base at Khormaksar now Aden International Airport which played host to numerous squadrons throughout the 1930s. Of these No. 8 Squadron was stationed at Khormaksar for the longest period of time maintaining a policing and day-bombing role. Photographs of military aircraft belonging to No. 8 Squadron can be seen in these albums alongside pictures of planes flown by Nos 203 41 and 55 Squadrons. The photographs give a vivid impression of the volume of air and maritime traffic - mostly British but also French and Dutch - which passed through Aden after Mussolini's invasion of Ethiopia. Aerial shots show Fairey MK IIIs and Vickers Vincent planes flying in formation as well as night and day bombers and flying boats. There are also detailed close-ups of ships including British aircraft carriers. It seems probable that the photographer who assembled these albums was involved in surveying: there are fine aerial shots of Aden and Crater the Sultan's palace at Lahij Shuqra Shibam Tarim Ibb al-Mukalla and Ta'izz giving an outstanding sense of how these towns looked in the early 20th century. The pictures of Ethiopia include one aerial photograph of Addis Ababa a number of ground shots of an execution the wounded and the dead and images of buildings on fire. There is only one photograph captioned as having been taken in Somaliland but this provides a further clue that the photographer was sent from Yemen to the Horn of Africa with the intention of documenting Italian military activities there. As a result of the Second Italo-Abyssinian War Ethiopia was incorporated into Italian East Africa consisting of Italian Somalia Ethiopia and Eritrea. Britain ruled British Somaliland and France controlled French Somaliland Djibouti. Many of the images may have been taken when the photographer was off duty. There are several almost touristic shots of everyday life in Crater showing children playing and Friday prayers images taken on the beach and in the salt pans around Aden pictures of Yemeni pastoralists with their cattle and photographs of Yemeni Indian and Somali women. A significant minority of the pictures show downtime at Khormaksar with a string of images depicting airmen in fancy dress playing football and drinking. There are even two photos of the squadron's dog in a cap and glasses and with a pipe in its mouth. 2 albums. Album I with 175 silver print photographs of various dimensions 100 x 65 mm - 240 x 180 mm mounted on card. Album II with 55 silver print photographs all c.100 x 150 mm or c.75 x 100 mm.
