Jimmy Carter actually said...

"I have just signed a Presidential Proclamation designating the Month of March as Red Cross Month."

"Our American Red Cross is in dire financial need because of vast sums expended for disaster relief during a three-month period last summer."

"The decision by Soviet authorities to deprive Nobel laureate Andrei Sakharov of his honors and to send him into exile arouses worldwide indignation."

"His voice may be silenced in exile, but the truths he has spoken serve as a monument to his courage and an inspiration to man's enduring quest for dignity and freedom."
