Jimmy Carter actually said...

"I urge you to help me control inflation and to set an example of leadership for the nation by supporting my veto of the public works bill."

"No challenge the Congress and the Executive Branch must face together is more painful than the exercise of budgetary discipline."

"I am returning H.R. 12928, the Energy and Water Development Appropriations bill, to the Congress without my approval."

"The hard work and dedication that went into the original legislation will not be wasted."
