Lasting peace can be achieved in the Middle East only through a comprehensive settlement.

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.
I reaffirm the longstanding American commitment to the security and well-being of Israel and to the achievement of a just and lasting peace between Israel and its neighbors.
I have a very good feeling about the future this year, about controlling inflation and reduced interest rates.
I cannot freeze, now, imports of the small foreign cars that American consumers want.
I'm very grateful to be with you today, here in truly an historic place.
The measures which I am announcing today are still nonbelligerent in nature.
