It is a fundamental right of every American, as guaranteed by the first amendment of the Constitution, to worship as he or she pleases.

I welcome enactment of this resolution as an important action to assure religious freedom for all Americans.

I have signed into law S.J. Res. 102, the American Indian Religious Freedom Act of 1978.

An act to authorize appropriations under the Arms Control and Disarmament Act for the fiscal year 1979, and for other purposes.

Since I've been in office this is the 30th session we've had with special groups who represent the major news media in our country.

An act relating to the disposition of certain recreational demonstration project lands by the State of Oklahoma.

American Indian Religious Freedom.

True progress is achieved when we work together to overcome our challenges and build a better future.

There is no task more important than this search for peace.

I, Jimmy Carter, President of the United States of America, do hereby call upon the people of this Nation, and their local and national government officials, to observe Wright Brothers Day, December 17, 1978.

I support and encourage the cooperative efforts of private enterprise and government in developing low cost residential sprinkler systems.

Let there be no mistake about what this bill does.
