Jimmy Carter actually said...

"The overwhelming endorsement in the House of Representatives today of my civil service reform proposal is a victory for every citizen concerned about government waste and inefficiency."

"The House's commitment to civil service reform deserves the appreciation of every American."

"I will nominate Marvin S. Cohen, of Tucson, Ariz., to be a member of the Civil Aeronautics Board."

"It symbolizes the debt of gratitude we owe our veterans."
