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 Agency shall advise the President with respect to coordination of United States policy and programs.
I believe that this visit has been not only a delightful one for us but has served to convince the people of our two countries that we live in a state of harmony, of mutual purpose, and of friendship and of cooperation.
I have determined, pursuant to section 101 (a) of the Trade Act of 1974, that certain existing duties of the United States are unduly burdening and restricting the foreign trade of the United States.
Your speech yesterday at the United Nations on the future of the world as it relates to energy was indeed one of the most profound and the most beautiful speeches I have ever read.
We are determined that our dialog will always be creative, that our negotiations will be frank and fair and mature and productive.
Tonight we're determined to make the result of our toasts better than they were when I was in Mexico City.
I believe that these troubled and uncertain times between our two countries are gone forever.
Anti-inflationary wage and price behavior shall be measured by the following standards.
We have good reasons for gratitude: for liberty in a world where repression is common, for peace in a world of threats and terror and war, for a bounteous harvest in a world where hunger and despair still stalk much of mankind.
May we be thankful in proportion to that which we have received, trusting not in our wealth and comforts, but in the strength of our purpose.
Between individuals, as between nations, respect for the rights of others is peace.
