The truth is that Pakistan is and was on the US State Department travel warning list. This meant, and means today, that non-essential travel is highly discouraged. (See the following State Department link; http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/tw/tw_930.html.) Simple logic would conclude that he would not have required a foreign passport, but could have traveled on his US passport. There were other Americans who traveled in Pakistan (at least one journalist) at that time as well, so Obama wasn't alone. Although it is recommended to register with the embassy beforehand or immediately upon arrival, it is not a requirement now or in 1981.
