Jimmy Carter actually said...

"One of the most pleasant surprises that I have had as President of our country has been the quality of work done by the Central Intelligence Agency."

"I appreciate what you are, what you do, the high professionalism, training, education, experience that you bring to your job."

"There is established the Interagency Coordinating Council."

"I particularly want to thank Senator Abourezk and Senator Pete Williams; and especially Phil Burton, who has husbanded this legislation through the Congress in a very effective fashion."
