Jimmy Carter

I think that we have a confidence in ourselves and a determination to carry out our Nation's purposes that will stand us in good stead.

Our country is one that desires peace.

I think that this kind of dedication to the defense of our country extends down to the newest and most junior crewmember who serves on the U.S.S. Los Angeles.

The cruise missiles, in my opinion, will be an integral part of the future of our defense forces.

I have a great affection for him personally and a great obligation for what he has meant to me.

The last time I was on board a submarine at sea, I think, was in 1952.

There is no doubt that we have a long way to go in alleviating tension in the world.

There is no greater duty than to help people who are in need.

But we do intend to make every possible effort to promote the conditions which will facilitate our continued participation.

I believe that with absolute certainty I can say that there is no finer ship in the world than this one.

The way I understand our present submarine force, this submarine, the Los Angeles, then would be designed for attacking other ships, protecting our own ships---against war vessels.

It strengthens my own confidence in the superb quality of the people who man our very crucial defense mechanisms.

I've said many times in my public statements and also in writing, how much Admiral Rickover affected my life and my attitude.

It is good to see you.

An act to authorize the establishment of the Eleanor Roosevelt National Historic Site in the State of New York, and for other purposes.

Very good. Thank you all.

No, I never have before.

On the President's message to the Congress on the environment

If this should prove impossible, we are in fact prepared to depart.

The U.S. does not desire to leave the ILO.

The U.S. does not expect to do so.

I do not have a Middle Eastern settlement plan, but the basic premises have been spelled out very clearly.

I think it is appropriate now for us to withdraw those troops.

I say this not in criticism of the Congress, but to point out to the American people a potential problem.

On submarines? No, just when I'm surrounded by news people.
