Jimmy Carter actually said...

"Building strong minority business enterprises is in the national interest because they contribute to our efforts to reduce unemployment and to stimulate community development."

"I fully endorse the efforts underway to revamp and improve the SBA Section 8(a) program."

"I believe that we should improve and strengthen existing programs rather than make wholesale changes at this time."

"The strength of our Nation depends upon this diversification, the fact that we are different."
