Jimmy Carter

Women play a vital role in the nation's economy.

I want to point out that the Department can now, I think, begin to deal in a much more aggressive and effective way not only with the needs of suppliers to increase the production of oil, gas, coal, solar, nuclear powers, but also to make…

I might point out that because of the great influence of these two gentlemen that I've just recognized, in the Senate the bill passed with a voice vote; in the House the vote was unanimous, 392 to 0.

That's my hope and my prayer.

I am establishing a Task Force on Women Business Owners.

I therefore recommend the following adjustments of status.

I have two legislative acts that have now been passed by the Congress, which I intend to sign this morning.

We, like Tanzania, were formerly subjects of the British Crown, and we had a military victory to achieve independence.

There is a serious lack of current and accurate information on which to base actions in support of these commitments.

The real requirements of the policymaking level, rather than technology or ability to collect, will drive the entire intelligence process.

I am not considering the reintroduction of a bracero-type program for the importation of temporary workers.

The proposed employer sanctions will not, by themselves, be enough to stop the entry of undocumented aliens.

My Administration is strongly committed to aggressive and comprehensive steps toward resolving this problem.

Infrequently on the world scene, there arises a young leader at the beginning of the history of a nation who in a strange but all pervasive way represents what his people are and what his country hopes to be.

I am convinced that far fewer aliens will attempt illegal entry if that opportunity is severely restricted.

I am proposing to Congress today a set of actions to help markedly reduce the increasing flow of undocumented aliens in this country and to regulate the presence of the millions of undocumented aliens already here.

The purpose of these changes is to provide for strong direction by the President and the National Security Council.

I hope that the Congress will move quickly on these proposals so that the actions can take effect very soon.

The number and size of women-owned businesses remain remarkably small.

I believe that marked improvements in source countries' economies are achievable by their own efforts with support from the United States.

It amounts to interference with the pardon power which is invested in the President by the Constitution.

I am signing H.R. 7556, the Departments of State, Justice, and Commerce, the Judiciary, and Related Agencies Appropriation Act for fiscal year 1978.

I think it's obvious from the composition of the group here this morning, that the American people have an intense interest in preserving the quality of our lives and the beauty of the land that God gave us.

I'm not completely satisfied with the legislation.

It's a great pleasure for me to come in now and to take at least partial credit for the fine work that all of you around me have done for so long.
