Jimmy Carter

I don't believe I could have chosen a woman to be Vice President who cares more about day care centers, care for those who are deprived, and women's rights, than Fritz Mondale.

I think that what women have demanded and are demanding and have not yet received are very significant considerations for me as the leader of our country.

We share common problems. We share common ideals. We share common history. We share a common future, and we are mutually supportive.

I will do the best I can to be a better President, and I know that you will see to it that I have your constant advice and counsel and criticism.

I am not saying that we have done enough.

We have appointed strong, vigorous, sometimes controversial women spokesmen to positions of crucial importance.

I think it is accurate to say that the closest friends we have are in Great Britain.

I think it would be good for you to recognize it.

There is no incompatibility in our assessment of need.

It is not fair to judge the appointments just on the basis of sex.

We'll make sure that the public knows what new policies we impose.

I've sent to Congress this morning, a youth employment package which will consist of about $1/2 billion, part of the economic stimulus package.

I don't think I would use the word minor withdrawals.

I would be opposed to mass arrests, and I would be opposed to preventive detention as a general policy and even as a specific policy, unless it was an extreme case.

I think that the remarks made by the delegate concerning our past involvement in Chilean political affairs was inappropriate.

I have long been concerned about our own Nation's stance in prohibiting American citizens to travel to foreign countries.

His own integrity is the surest guarantee that no future abuses will embarrass us.

I want to know about it immediately because a concealment of a mistake and its subsequent revelation will be a devastating additional blow.

It is in that spirit that I send this message to Congress on our youth employment programs.

This plan would be aimed at disadvantaged or low-income Americans between the ages of 16 and 21 who are out of school and out of work.

We plan to spend $350 million over the next 18 months for 35,000 jobs under this plan.

Unemployment for those between the ages of 16 and 19 is now 18.5 percent, and a total of 3.4 million people aged 16 to 24 are out of work.

I will nominate John C. White to be Deputy Secretary of Agriculture.

I think it's entirely appropriate for our own country to take the leadership role and let the world say that the focal point for the preservation and protection of human rights is in the United States of America.

We must narrowly define which people need to know sensitive information.
