I am very pleased today to sign into law S. 1143, a 3-year reauthorization of the Endangered Species Act.
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 look forward to and will continue to support the implementation of a vigorous endangered species program.
The administration has strongly supported a limited Federal preemption of State usury ceilings on mortgage loans.
I am hopeful that the bill I am signing today is only an interim step toward the passage of historic financial reform legislation early next year.
A thoughtful and determined policy, which makes clear that Iran will continue to pay an increasingly higher price for the illegal detention of our people, is the best policy to achieve those goals.
I am also pleased that the Congress has deferred the effective date of a court decision.
Oregon's Department of Environmental Quality will monitor the air quality impact of operating the Harborton facility.
This determination applies only to the Harborton facility discussed in the Governor's petition.
The decision by the Court of Appeals confirms the view that the administration has held all along—that the action taken in surveying Iranian students was both constitutional and lawful.
