Jimmy Carter

Maintaining a strong defense has been a primary objective of this administration.

The central idea of the policy I am announcing today is full disclosure of information to our trading partners.

I believe in the need for higher levels of aid to achieve foreign policy objectives, promote economic growth, and help needy people abroad.

It emphasizes to other countries that the United States is a responsible trading partner and that they can trust goods bearing the label 'Made in U.S.A.'

The essential human needs of our citizens must be given high priority.

I think it's a good document.

I do hereby proclaim the month of February 1981, as American Heart Month.

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and statutes of the United States of America, including the Hostage Relief Act of 1980.

We must come close to matching Federal outlays with tax receipts if we are to avoid excessive and inflationary Federal borrowing.

However, unacceptably high inflation remains our most difficult economic problem.

I believe that the Congress will act affirmatively on the basic premises of this document.

I have signed today an Executive order which establishes a comprehensive Federal policy on the export of hazardous products and substances that have been banned or significantly restricted for use in the United States.

The growth of budget outlays has been more the result of economic factors than the cause of them.

Continuing a sound energy policy is essential to the Nation's well-being in the coming decades.

Unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality.

This budget provides for meeting these needs, while continuing a 4-year policy of prudence and restraint.

Export controls should be limited to extremely hazardous substances

This is a very stringent budget.

Right temporarily defeated is stronger than evil triumphant.

There is established a President's Council on Spinal Cord Injury which shall be composed of twelve members appointed by the President.

I hereby call upon the people of the United States to honor all inventors by observing February 11, 1981, as National Inventors' Day.

This voluntary effort will be highly complementary to the Federal Government's provision of $50 million in aid which Congressman Mario Biaggi sponsored in the Congress.

I would like for all of you to join with me now in a toast to the free people of our Nation.

I believe that we have made substantial progress since the Department of Education opened its doors on May 4, 1980, in providing new leadership and support for American education.

Traffic safety must be given a high priority by Federal, State and municipal Governments, by the automotive industry, by private organizations, and most important of all, by the potential victims of highway accidents—the public.
