We are pleased to have recently received extensive film
footage of former President Anwar Sadat from the Jimmy
Carter Library, the Gerald R. Ford Library, and the
Ronald Reagan Library. The footage contains highlights
of major events in U.S.-Egyptian relations during these
administrations including visits by President Sadat to
the United States, a visit by President Carter to Egypt,
the Camp David Accords, the Egyptian-Israeli Peace
Treaty, meetings between President Ford and President
Sadat, and remarks by President Reagan following the
assassination of President Sadat. The discussions,
speeches and ceremonies that took place during these
events strengthened significantly the relationship
between the United States and Egypt – a relationship
that endures to this very day. In particular, the
extensive and intensive interactions between President
Sadat and President Carter culminated in the first
Arab-Israeli peace treaty – a treaty that has stood the
test of time.
Below, we invite you to view some of the excellent
footage we have received, which attests to President
Sadat’s commitment to peace in the Middle East. We are
thankful to the Jimmy Carter Library and Archivist David
J. Stanhope, in particular, for providing us with the
footage. The source of the footage is the Naval
Photographic Center (NPC) Film Collection housed in the
Jimmy Carter Library. In addition, we thank the Gerald
Ford Library and to Archives Specialist Nancy E. Mirshah
for providing us with exceptional photographs. We are
thankful to the Ronald Reagan Library as well and to
Archivist Ray Wilson for the footage and photographs
related to Sadat during the Reagan Presidency. Finally,
we also express our appreciation to the Office of
Academic Computing Services (OACS) at the University of
Maryland for transferring segments of the film footage
into streaming media clips for your viewing pleasure.
