Some progress was made in easing Cold War tensions when Kennedy was president. In 1963, the two sides reached a major arms control agreement. They agreed to ban tests of nuclear weapons above ground, under water, and in space. They ... established a direct telephone line between the white house and the kremlin. Relations between east and west also improved when Richard Nixon was president. He and Leonid Brezhnev met several times.
NARA holdings relating to the Cold War are voluminous but not consistent in chronological coverage. Textual records relating to foreign policy and military affairs generally span from the 1940s to the early 1960s for military affairs or early 1970s for foreign policy. Special media and electronic records accessions from all military service branches extend into the 1980s. NARA has acquired comparatively few textual records from government intelligence gathering agencies but has recently accessioned extensive runs of reconnaissance satellite imagery and documentation from the Central Intelligence Agency. And, while there are National Security Council policy records housed at the National Archives at College Park, individual Presidential libraries hold the bulk of documentation relating to that office.

[One] related thought that arose during the conference was that some of the cold war sites that were being discussed were simply collections of cold war artifacts and information—museums, in general. For example, the Atomic Testing Museum in Las Vegas is not actually on the test site itself. Others, though, were the real thing, such as the Kennedy Space Center or a museum at the Berlin wall. These not only tell the story but actually are the story, and B Reactor falls into that category. The site is of educational interest, but ... allows people to experience the landmark itself, something of incalculable value.
