| Info | Foy Kohler's thirty-five year diplomatic career took him to eleven countries on five continents, including Canada, Romania, Egypt, Vietnam, and Bolivia, before President Kennedy sent him to Moscow in 1962. Kohler presented his credentials September 27, 1962, just days before the most serious crisis in Soviet-American relations began, over the placement of Soviet missiles in Cuba. In 1963, in response to the crisis, a "hot-line" direct telephone link was established between Washington and Moscow. Nikita Khruschev was removed from his leadership posts in 1964 and replaced by Leonid Brezhnev. In 1966 the U.S. and Soviet Union signed an agreement on nuclear testing, the beginning of a long series of arms-control agreements that marked the last phase of the Cold War.
