Jimmy Carter

Mr. Klutznick has had a great deal of experience in the two most important areas of concern to the Commerce Department—trade, particularly in its international aspects, and economic development.

I will nominate William H. Wilcox, of Harrisburg, Pa., to be an Associate Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

The action in the House was a victory for a highly financed, special-interest lobby, and a defeat for the common good.

The ball game is not yet over and that we intend to continue to fight to contain hospital costs.

The Group was established by President Carter and Prime Minister Ohira at their bilateral May 2 meeting in Washington.

The action of the House of Representatives is a blow to the fight against inflation.

I have ordered blocked all property and interests in property of the Government of Iran, its instrumentalities and controlled entities and the Central Bank of Iran.

I hereby order blocked all property and interests in property of the Government of Iran.

I find that the situation in Iran constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy and economy of the United States.

It would be premature for the United States to alter its position on sanctions.

I have authorized the Secretary of the Treasury to employ all powers granted to me by the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to carry out the blocking.

This action is taken with respect to Iran for the reasons described in this report.

I hereby determine that it is in the national interest of the United States to continue sanctions against Zimbabwe-Rhodesia at this time.

Encouraging progress has been made in recent months toward a peaceful resolution of the conflict in Zimbabwe-Rhodesia;

A termination of sanctions at this stage could lead all the parties to harden their positions and would jeopardize the chances for a successful settlement for Zimbabwe-Rhodesia.

I have today exercised the authority granted by this Act to block certain property or interests in property of the Government of Iran.

A vote for this bill will clearly and properly be seen by the public as a vote to reduce inflation.

You will have an opportunity this week to help our fight against inflation by passing Hospital Cost Containment legislation that can save Americans more than $40 billion over the next five years.

Without the type of consumer marketplace which exists in other sectors of the economy, hospitals generally have no incentive to reduce waste or inefficiency and to curb costs.

I am pleased to announce the nomination of Iraline Barnes as an Associate Judge of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia.

This modified cost containment legislation will have a significant impact in reducing the hospital industry's inflation rate.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Proclamation, no crude oil produced in Iran may be entered into the customs territory of the United States.

I agree with these recommendations and that the changes proposed are consistent with the purposes of Proclamation 3279, as amended.

Those developments underscore the threat to our national security which results from our reliance on Iran as a source of crude oil.

Deportation proceedings will be conducted in accordance with constitutional due process requirements.
