Correspondence, printed material, reports and other records documenting McCloy's activities in international affairs and government service. Series 21 includes material from his official and unofficial arms control and disarmament activities, including his tenure as Chairman of the General Advisory Committee of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency (1961-1974). Series 22 concerns Berlin and heightened East-West tensions there following construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961. Series 23 documents McCloy's service as Chairman of the Coordinating Committee of the U.S. on the Cuban Missile Crisis, which worked to achieve a peaceful negotiated settlement to the October 1962 confrontation between the U.S. and the Soviet Union over the presence of Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba. Series 24 consists of a lengthy memorandum of McCloy's apparently unofficial meeting with Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin at the Russian Embassy on July 3, 1962, concerning a variety of topics. Series 25 chiefly documents McCloy's role as head of the American delegation to the Tripartite or Trilateral Talks of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), 1966-1967, to discuss issues arising from a redeployment of forces stationed in Europe.
