Jimmy Carter actually said...

"I will never have a chance so momentous to contribute to world peace as to negotiate and to see ratified this SALT treaty."

"I want them to say that America, under our leadership, has been at peace."

"We do not expect that we will ever need to use this plan, but, as with our military forces, we would be foolhardy not to be prepared should such a need ever arise."

"Free people striving for excellence is the true strength of America."
