The following events occurred in July 1975: ==July 1, 1975 (Tuesday)== *CITES, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, went into effect after being ratified by the 10th nation that had signed on March 3, 1973, representing the first international agreement to protect wildlife and plants from extinction as a result of poaching and trade.〔Edmund Jan Osmańczyk and Anthony Mango, ''Encyclopedia of the United Nations and International Agreements: T to Z'' (Taylor & Francis, 2003) p2688〕 *ARPANET, predecessor to the Internet, was declared fully operational and under the control of the Defense Communications Agency, part of the U.S. Department of Defense.〔Janet Abbate, ''Inventing the Internet'' (MIT Press, 2000) p136〕 *Former U.S. President Richard Nixon said, in an affidavit to federal court, that he had secretly begun taping Oval Office conversations at the suggestion of his predecessor, President Lyndon Johnson, who had said that the tapes "had proved to be exceedingly valuable in preparing his memoirs, and he urged that I re-install the recording devices". The affidavit was filed as part of Nixon's suit seeking custody of his records, including the tape recordings, some of which had proved he had ordered a coverup of the Watergate investigation.〔"Nixon says LBJ urged tapes system installation", ''Spokane (WA) Spokesman-Review'', July 2, 1975, p1〕 *As the 1976 fiscal year began, New York City announced the firing of 37,000 city employees in order to save $1.2 billion from the city budget. Laid off were 5,000 police, 2,100 firefighters, 3,000 garbage collectors, 10,000 health workers and 17,000 people in education.〔"19,000 In N.Y. Fired In Bid To Balance Budget", ''Toledo (OH) Blade'', July 1, 1975, p1; "37,000 lose jobs in New York", ''The Age'' (Melbourne), July 2, 1975, p1〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「July 1975」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
