Jimmy Carter

Such a treaty, such an agreement, is within our grasp.

Let us seize this opportunity while we have it.

Hope is the beacon that guides us through the darkest times.

The question of Palestinian autonomy will have to be resolved in the talks that would commence 1 month after the Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty.

I think it's obvious that these people want peace.

We expect it's possible that you may arrive in Israel 24 hours late?

I would like to offer a toast tonight to my friend, to a great and courageous leader.

I don't think that's easy to predict.

The White House also announced that the President called Venezuelan President-elect Luis 'Herrera Campins and Brazilian President elect Joao Baptista de Oliveira Figueiredo.

Tonight he and I share great hopes for the future.

No. I don't think there's any likelihood at all that I would get to Israel a day later.

I know two things: One is that the people of Israel and Egypt want peace.

Both President Sadat and Prime Minister Begin have reconfirmed their commitment to me that all of the Camp David agreements will be carried out.

That's hard to predict.

I've not been disappointed nor pleasantly surprised.

I look upon President Sadat as a partner.

Support for the proposed hospital cost containment legislation

I have not been surprised after I got here.

We'll get together in Alexandria with the whole group to see what differences still remain.

I bring from 200 million Americans to 40 million Egyptians a heartfelt expression of the same kind of friendship.

President Sadat is such a man.

I think what it will do is to take to Israel either an encouraging prospect or one that would require some substantial modifications.

He wished them and their new administrations success, and he conveyed his personal wish that our Governments will continue to work closely together on issues of common concern.

No. I think we'll get to Israel on time.

We obviously came on this trip without any assurance of success.
