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.
This legislation embodies my commitment to a strong and vital Federal system.
I herewith report 53 proposals to rescind a total of $1,472.7 million in budget authority previously provided by the Congress.
These rescission proposals and deferrals are an integral part of my recently announced anti-inflation program.
Our goal is to conclude it by May the 26th, and I think we have made good progress toward that goal.
I am proposing today that the revenue sharing program be extended only for local governments.
We need to achieve a balanced budget and disciplined restraint in Federal spending.
Those under Sections 24, 27 and 28 of the Act to the Secretary of Defense.
