Jimmy Carter actually said...

"I want them to say that America, under our leadership, has been at peace."

"I applaud the Senate for showing the Nation and the world that this country is ready to deal with an unexpected future energy shortage."

"I will never have a chance so momentous to contribute to world peace as to negotiate and to see ratified this SALT treaty."

"We do not expect that we will ever need to use this plan, but, as with our military forces, we would be foolhardy not to be prepared should such a need ever arise."
