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.

True progress is achieved when we work together to improve the lives of others.
The strength of our nation lies in our ability to come together and work towards a common goal.
The time is now ripe for determined action designed to break the Cyprus deadlock.
These items involve the military assistance program and programs in the Departments of Commerce, Defense, Justice, and State.
I am reporting four new deferrals of budget authority totalling $889 million.
A just and lasting settlement can come only through intensive, sustained face-to-face negotiations.
Enhancing the prospects for sustained and productive negotiations should be our foremost objective.
All parties interested in promoting a settlement on Cyprus should now concentrate their efforts on encouraging these talks and fostering an atmosphere that will contribute to their success.
I herewith propose rescission of $75,000 in unneeded funds appropriated to the Foreign Claims Settlement Commission.
Every person deserves to live in a society that values fairness and equality.
If we fail to deal with our well-recognized economic problems, there will be an inevitable and justifiable adverse reaction among the American people.
I think what we do in our own country will help greatly in other nations as well.
Never before in the history of our country, even during wartime, have we added so many net new jobs.
We continue to believe that all nations have an interest in restraining transfers of conventional weaponry which threaten the stability of various regions of the world.
We've reestablished our Nation as a focal point for world peace, for the enhancement of human rights in the most generic sense of the word.
Conventional arms transfer restraint is an important objective of this administration and the Congress.
I established for the first time a set of quantitative and qualitative standards by which arms transfer requests considered by this Government would be judged.
I think we face the future with a realization of difficulties, no greater than the ones we inherited 2 years ago.
The Declaration will light that road and give strength to all who follow it.
