It is with great pleasure that I sign into law today H.R. 3434, the Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act of 1980.
Jimmy Carter
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.
these discussions were both very frank and extremely cordial and constructive.
I hereby proclaim July 21, 1980, as Veterans Administration 50th Anniversary Day.
I think the best hope that I can see is demonstrable progress under the Camp David process.
Such approaches can cut cost and red tape without sacrificing legitimate regulatory goals.
I am directing all agencies with regulatory responsibility to review their programs and find areas where these alternatives can be applied.
I will certainly encourage King Hussein to join in these talks as soon as it's possible for him to agree to do so.
In my opinion, the establishment of additional Israeli settlements on the West Bank is not necessary.
We have long maintained this position under the administration of previous Presidents... that the establishment of settlements in that area was contrary to progress toward a comprehensive peace.
