I believe it is appropriate for employees of the Federal Government to take the leadership responsibility in furthering the sale of U.S. Energy Savings Bonds.
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 herewith report three new deferrals totalling $28.7 million and three revisions to previously transmitted deferrals increasing the amount deferred by $34.5 million.
Secretary Brown has my full support in undertaking this new responsibility.
The U.S. Savings Bonds Program has played an important role in sound debt management and in our continuing efforts to help control inflation.
We can and must send a strong and accurate signal that we, the American people, are determined to cut our dependence on imported oil.
I made clear that the windfall profits tax was an essential companion to decontrol.
I am determined that the American public will be protected with a windfall profits tax which is fair.
The extra incentives provided by the decontrol action itself are sufficient to generate added production.
I have decided to ask for an early meeting of the United Nations Security Council to impose international economic sanctions upon Iran.
National Unity Day is a day for fostering cooperation and goodwill among all Americans.
It is expected that decontrol of oil in the 16.0 degrees—20.0 degrees range will significantly accelerate production of this resource.
I express my deep appreciation to Senator Cranston and the California delegation for their assistance in this effort.
