The goal of the agency was to increase the safety of the workplace. OSHA brought many health concerns to light, including asbestos and the dangers coal mining had on the lungs. Many believed that the government was overstepping when OSHA was passed but the justification lies on the premise that, “To the extent that the way goods are produced affects people other than the employer and the employee, the interest of those others may justify a role for the government.”

Nixon, along with the help of Secretary of State Kissinger, moved to push connections with the USSR and China. He did this as an effort to “thaw out” the Cold War. America wanted out so Nixon did so accordingly with as easy of an exit as he could make. Realpolitik was used by Nixon to not only benefit the American society but foreign, too.
