Jimmy Carter actually said...

"I am announcing today the framework for a comprehensive Federal territorial policy towards Guam, the United States Virgin Islands, American Samoa and the Northern Mariana Islands."

"Our goal should be to recognize these distinctions as assets rather than to expect the territories to conform to practices and policies designed for the States."

"I will nominate Cesar A. Perales to be an Assistant Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare."

"I have proposed substantial Federal support for several essential capital improvement projects."
