Jimmy Carter
The Public Record
Jimmy Earl Carter served as the 39th President of the United States from January 20, 1977, to January 20, 1981. A member of the Democratic Party, he previously held the office of Governor of Georgia from January 12, 1971, to July 1, 1975. During his presidency, Carter focused on human rights, energy conservation, and the Camp David Accords, which led to a peace treaty between Israel and Egypt. His administration also faced significant challenges, including the Iran Hostage Crisis and economic difficulties marked by inflation and unemployment.
The Olympic games this summer should not be held in Moscow, because Russia is an invading nation.
The most significant challenge that I face is the high inflation rate.
I think history has shown that it has never worked except during a time of intense crisis.
I thought, as they walked up, wouldn't it be wonderful if we have a permanent Summer Olympic site in Greece.
Let me assure you that in this negotiation, as we work for the legitimate rights of the Palestinians, that we will countenance no action which could hurt Israel's security.
Agreement between them is an essential element in a just and a lasting settlement.
The only feasible solution to that would be to lower the per capita income in the North and to increase it in other parts of the country.
As an American, as a President, I realize from the history of our country that Greeks came very early to America, to the benefit of all other Americans.
I am opposed to an independent Palestinian state, because this would be a destabilizing factor in the Middle East and would certainly not serve the United States interests.
Recent world events have shown us how precious democracy is, how precious human freedom is.
Americans have indeed been tested under fire, and we've passed the test.
Like Plato, we Americans seek a perfect world which we see in our dreams.
My policy of promoting human rights throughout the world remains firm.
I think the whole country was inspired, because they were known, as you know, as a team that said, 'We are family.'
Federal program to assist the Florida State and Dade County governments meet the emergency needs of undocumented Haitians in southern Florida.
There is established the President's Commission on United States-Liberian Relations.
It's my honor, as President of the United States, to add my voice to the salute that is being paid to the Pirates, to the Steelers, to western Pennsylvania, and today especially, to Pittsburgh.
A joint resolution to validate the effectiveness of certain plans for the use or distribution of funds appropriated to pay judgments awarded to Indian tribes or groups.
Excellence on a transient basis is much easier than excellence sustained over a long period of time.
The Commission shall conduct a comprehensive review of our relations with Liberia and will provide recommendations to improve this relationship.
I think the reciprocal nature of that unselfish attitude has paid rich dividends for them as teams.
