Jimmy Carter

We believe that the most fruitful step toward general disarmament is an acknowledged strength among the NATO Allies.

I am determined to obtain congressional approval for the repealing of the remaining arms restrictions on Turkey.

I am dedicated to strengthened ties with Greece, an old and important ally.

The most vivid impression that I have is one of a well-acknowledged common purpose.

The resilience with which Italian democratic institutions withstood the terrorist attack is commendable.

It was a productive and constructive meeting, which will only result in an enhanced possibility for peace in the European theater.

I ask the American people to display our flag at their homes and other suitable places for the same period.

We want a strong defense.

We will continue to consult and to work closely with our allies to ensure that arms control efforts serve our common needs.

Ours is a defensive alliance.

We are proud of our relationship.

This bill has a different purpose.

I would like to propose a toast on behalf of the people of the United States of America.

The security interests of our NATO Allies will be covered in any agreement reached.

I welcome the efforts of individual NATO Allies to work for peace in Africa and to support nations and people in need.

I do hereby call upon the American people to observe June 14, 1978 as Flag Day and the week beginning June 11, 1978 as National Flag Week.

I ask all Americans to participate in local activities that reflect an understanding and appreciation of America and its institutions.

This Alliance has guaranteed our own security here in the United States.

The challenges we face as allies do not end here.

The mutual pledges of trust we exchanged here in 1949 still hold firm and true.

It is fitting that the University of Minnesota should have already taken the lead in establishing the Hubert H. Humphrey School of Public Affairs.

We know what can be the price of preserving precious ideals.

I am pleased to sign into law a bill which, in a unique way, will keep alive the courageous vision of Hubert Humphrey.

The task is not easy—the way to liberty has never been—but our nations preeminently comprise the region of the world where freedom finds its most hospitable environment.

I'm deeply concerned about your State and deeply hopeful that this meeting today will lead to that bright future in the distance.
