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.

I am very pleased today to sign into law S. 1143, a 3-year reauthorization of the Endangered Species Act.
I look forward to and will continue to support the implementation of a vigorous endangered species program.
I am also pleased that the Congress has deferred the effective date of a court decision.
It is simply unacceptable for the Federal Government to force small savers to accept a submarket rate of return on their deposits.
Our clear preference is now, and has been from the beginning of this crisis, for a quick and a peaceful solution of this problem through concerted international action.
