The policies would not be in these events that happened but rather in his response to them, or his policy that led up to the event. He obviously, for example, had a policy to spy on the USSR and therefore U-2 spy missions were used to photograph various military and industrial locations in the USSR. While they were denying it, the USA had the misfortune of having a U-2 shot down and the pilot captured.

These would have nothing to do with policy. These are events. Now Ike's decisions could have led to or enhanced some of these things. But in reality, the world stage probably was beyond Eisenhower, and he was more in a reactionary mode.

They were no "policies" but "events" during the Cold War. And Eisenhower (or the US for that matter) was not the only player involved...
