Jimmy Carter actually said...

"The greatness of our Nation has been proven, and the future greatness of our Nation is more assured than before this legislation was passed."

"I believe that we all know that conservation is the easiest and the cheapest way to either create or to save an additional barrel of oil or a thousand cubic feet of gas or a Btu of energy."

"I do not have any intention of doing this."

"I think it's a vindication of our system of democratic government."
