Jimmy Carter actually said...

"There is no more powerful force for peace than the United States of America—a beacon for freedom and for human rights, committed to world peace for all, and strong militarily."

"He's also asked that I express his personal thanks to the many hundreds of volunteers in both those States who helped to make these two important victories possible."

"We do not consider it necessary at this time to impose additional sanctions, but that is always an option open to us."

"We will assume that the President will carry out the commitment that he has made early this morning."
