Jimmy Carter actually said...

"I think that we've been successful so far, without abridging anyone's deep commitment and integrity in past statements and beliefs on the one hand, and adequate progress on the other."

"I think that my own background in environmental questions and in matters that relate to the quality of life has been one of intimate and deep concern."

"This is going to be a competent, dedicated, courageous, tough partnership."

"I believe that the people of our country can rest assured that in the years to come, that our quality of life will never be abridged nor will it deteriorate."
