Jimmy Carter actually said...

"I have asked the United States Senate to defer further consideration of the SALT II treaty so that the Congress and I can assess Soviet actions and intentions."

"I have decided to halt or to reduce exports to the Soviet Union in three areas that are particularly important to them."

"I come to you this evening to discuss the extremely important and rapidly changing circumstances in Southwest Asia."

"I continue to share your view that the SALT II Treaty is in the national security interest of the United States and the entire world."
