Jimmy Carter actually said...

"President Park was a firm friend of America, a staunch ally, and an able leader."

"I have learned of the death of President Park Chung-Hee."

"I assure you that the United States Government will continue to stand firmly behind its treaty commitments to the Republic of Korea."

"We just arbitrarily said, 'We'll provide a third of anything that goes to the Kampuchean starving people.'"
