croxx-references "dollar" to "money," but the only US NEWS AND WORLD REPORT 
cover
depicting "money" in 1960/1989 period indexed is for December 3, 1984 (for 
story
"Super Dollar: Has It Peaked?."  By 1984, of course, Carter had been out of
office for years.

Unsurprisingly, several USN&WR covers in 1977/79 depict Carter on the cover:
July 24, 1978 / Jan 23, 1978 / Jan 16, 1978 / Jan 31, 1977 / Jan 24, 1977 /
Feb 19, 1979 / March 19, 1979 / June 6, 1977  at least.

USN&WR covers in period under cover subject heading "economy" might be a
possibility: May 1, 1978 / Nov 13, 1978 / Nov 6, 1978 / Oct 2, 1978 /
March 13, 1978 ("Can the dollar be saved?" -- sounds promising) / Jan 30, 1978



I also checked the AMERICAN PRESIDENCY PROJECT free site at

http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/index.php

and didn't exhaust the possibilities, from the closest match I could find
with a reasonable of searching and scanning was this, which in any case is
later than the expected date:

Council on Environmental Quality Message to the Congress Transmitting a 
Report.
January 17th, 1981

<snip>
We can no longer assume as we could in the past that the Earth will heal 
and renew itself indefinitely. Human numbers and human works are catching 
up with the Earth's ability to recover. With care and careful management, 
our planer's resources­its water, soils, minerals, forests, fish and 
air­should be able to sustain us in great numbers. But to a degree unknown 
in past centuries, humankind is now a potent force on the face of the 
planet. The quality of human existence in the future will rest on careful 
stewardship and husbandry of the Earth's resources.

During the 1970's, the government and people of this Nation showed an 
extraordinary grasp of the ties between human beings and their environment 
and demonstrated strong leadership in creating a sustainable relationship. 
The 1980's are presenting new challenges. Our Nation must continue to move 
forward and extend the progress we have made­progress for which we are 
being repaid many times over.
