Status of the Foreign Relations of the United States Series
Foreign Relations volumes proceed through four main stages of production: Planning (when a volume is assigned to a sub-series plan), Research (which includes archival research, selection, annotation, and review), Clearance (when the manuscript undergoes declassification coordination and is edited and prepared for publication), and Publication (when the volume is released to the public). This page lists publications released in the current and previous calendar year, those planned for release later in the current year, and those at various stages of production. A growing number of volumes are published incrementally as individual chapters are cleared; volumes with outstanding chapters are listed in the table below. Published volumes being digitized are also listed.
