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 Soviet action, in flagrant violation of the United Nations Charter, constitutes a most serious threat to international peace.
Access to the public capital markets was virtually closed to small businesses.
Small business is one of the sectors that is particularly hard hit by inflation.
Viewed in the aggregate, there is nothing small about small business.
Inflation is one of the most vexing and intractable problems we face as a Nation.
Employment in firms with 500 or fewer employees increased by 7.5 million.
