The Public Record
Jimmy Earl Carter served as the 39th President of the United States from January 20, 1977, to January 20, 1981. A member of the Democratic Party, he previously held the office of Governor of Georgia from January 12, 1971, to July 1, 1975. During his presidency, Carter focused on human rights, energy conservation, and the Camp David Accords, which led to a peace treaty between Israel and Egypt. His administration also faced significant challenges, including the Iran Hostage Crisis and economic difficulties marked by inflation and unemployment.

By the authority vested in me as President of the United States of America by Section 5317 of Title 5 of the United States Code, in order to place two new Deputy Under Secretary positions in level V of the Executive Schedule.
The American labor movement was built on realism, on persistence, and on democratic values.
Our country is on the right road to the right future, and we will stay the course.
