Summary View help for Summary
The focus of this survey is Ronald Reagan's scheduled visit to Bitburg cemetery during his trip to West Germany in May 1985. Respondents were asked for their opinions of the visit, whether it would dishonor either the Holocaust victims or American soldiers who had fought in World War II, and whether Reagan's proposed visit to Bergen-Belsen concentration camp would counter objections to the Bitburg visit. In addition, respondents were asked for their perceptions of how the news media and White House had handled the planned trip. Demographic data on respondents also are included.
