U.S. Messages Concerning the Sixth Fleet and USS Liberty Incident
During the 1967 Mideast Crisis

The Department of State Foreign Relations of the United States, Johnson Administration, 1964-1968, Volume XIX, Arab-Israeli Crisis and War, 1967, documents 1 through 115, cover in great detail the period of 15 to 31 May 1967. However the vast majority of the department's documents (including messages) are diplomatic, not military oriented. Only the first message (Document 2 - 151920Z May 1967) of the first 115 documents contained in the volume is reproduced in the following table listing. As an illustration of the tension building during this period two short diplomatic messages, not contained in the FRUS volume, are included for this period of May.

The Department of State Foreign Relations of the United States, Johnson Administration, 1964-1968, Volume XIX, Arab-Israeli Crisis and War, 1967, Documents 199 through 226, cover 8 June 1967. As expected a good number deal with reactiom to the news that the USS Liberty had come under attack. Document 204 is an Editorial Note summarizing those actions. The below table contains, in far greater detail then possible in the FRUS volume, messages generated in response to not only the Liberty attack itself, but also the immediate aftermath.
