President Lyndon B. Johnson met with Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin during the Glassboro Summit Conference. Only four people were present including their respective interpreters.
Hollybush Mansion served as a compromise location because it was roughly equidistant from both capitals. President Lyndon B. Johnson preferred meeting away from protesters while Premier Alexei Kosygin wished to conduct the summit near the United Nations.
Discussions covered the ongoing crisis in the Middle East following the Six-Day War and the Soviet-US arms race. Leaders also addressed the Vietnam War but produced no binding resolutions regarding peace settlements.
No concrete treaties were signed during the Glassboro Summit Conference despite extensive dialogue on arms control. Both leaders walked away without specific commitments on how to proceed with their respective nations policies.
