Jimmy Carter

You might say that one person can't make a difference.

The consequences of this election are very dear and very important to all of you.

Vote for yourselves.

Oregon is the only State that's ratified the equal rights amendment, not once, but twice.

The greatest legacy we can leave our children is a nation more peaceful.

Now it's time to rebuild the United States of America, and that's what we're going to do.

Let's don't let that happen.

You might say, well, one person can't make a difference, but that's not true.

Don't forget that for a minute.

I ask you to vote for yourselves.

Democrats have always been builders.

I'm counting on you.

The function vested in the President by Section 602 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is hereby delegated to the Attorney General.

Both these decisions are especially pleasing to me, as I am sure they are to you, since they carry forward policy initiatives for which we have worked together.

I do not intend to disapprove the Board's orders within the 60 days allowed by statute.

I believe that the action I am taking today will make it easier for those jurisdictions which wish to comply with Federal nondiscrimination statutes and much harder for those who seek to violate those provisions.

The Attorney General shall coordinate the implementation and enforcement by Executive agencies of various nondiscrimination provisions of the following laws.

This is a significant development.

The Iranian parliament today has finally taken a position on the release of our hostages.

This selection has been made possible by one of the four agreements I signed on September 17, 1980, which together completed the process of normalizing the U.S.P.R.C. relations.

I have affirmed that our policy is based on two fundamental objectives: protecting the honor and the vital interests of the United States and working to ensure the earliest possible safe release of the hostages.
