Jimmy Carter actually said...

"I can't think of any more appropriate subject for a summit conference anywhere in our Nation and particularly in this part of our country than you have chosen."

"We must meet the needs of the poor families, particularly in the northern part of our Nation."

"The American people respond when they have a clear guidance and an understanding and are told the truth about the problems that we face and the challenges that confront our Nation."

"Now is the time for us to work together, to recognize that we have a common problem, a common challenge."
