Jimmy Carter

All of us, all of our allies, are joining in the same program.

I'm also proud to be a southerner.

To me, agriculture is the greatest single resource that God has given us in this country.

This election in less than 4 weeks is crucial.

Our country's got problems.

We believe in a strong nation, a nation whose military strength is second to none on Earth.

Our Nation has never failed, never failed to meet every challenge.

You don't know how nice it is to sign something that I don't have to get through Congress first.

I chose a military career not because I loved war, but because I knew that a strong, well-trained, dedicated, and prepared military was the surest way to keep the peace.

That decision made that day could be one of the most important decisions in your lifetime.

Don't let anyone tell you that this country is weak or washed up.

I am glad to be home in the South.

We are a nation of refugees, we're a nation of immigrants.

We're running a hard, difficult campaign.

We've got the greatest nation on Earth.

The American farmers, in spite of droughts, have a great prospect ahead.

Whenever our Nation has been tested, with the American people unified we have never failed.

We're a nation of diversity.

I remain committed to disciplined tax and spending policies to reduce inflationary pressures and to encourage productivity gains.

Neighborhoods are the soul of every community.

I'm forming an administrative task force on housing to work very intimately with all the elements of my own administration.

I'm very happy to be here today to sign this bill.

I think we have a better prospect in the future for stronger cities, better neighborhoods—rural and urban—effective housing programs.

This bill is an important achievement, but we also must look candidly at our Nation's remaining housing requirements.

There's never been any equivocation in my own administration about a common approach to these concepts of the enhancement of freedom and the enhancement of the worth of individual human beings.
