I think the policies that we have established are the best, and I believe that they're going to pay off.
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.
The most important thing I know of as President is, in times of trouble and challenge, to tap the tremendous strength of this country.
I want to be sure that if any other country is tempted to attack the United States, that they will realize that they are committing military suicide.
I believe that a separate department that can focus ... on better classroom education is a very important step forward.
President Carter today announced selection of 17 prominent business, labor, and public figures to serve as members of the anti-inflation program's Pay Advisory Committee.
We've been remarkable successful already with our wage and price guidelines.
The Pay Advisory Committee will advise the Council on Wage and Price Stability on developing policies that encourage anti-inflationary pay behavior by employers and labor.
