[PW] Jimmy Carter speech/address

[Franco, Adrienne]

The link looked just fine.  It should have brought user to beginning of
document.  I would have expected it to do otherwise if at end of url
there was a particular section specified, usually indicated by a # sign.
It was puzzling that it didn't bring user to beginning of document (I
tried several times and even used different browsers -- firefox in
addition to IE).

I only mentioned it in my post in case someone else tried clicking on it
and might have gotten confused by seeing speech of President Bush
instead of President Carter.  I think this document was/is a valuable
resource.

Hi,

Funny, my intention in posting the link was to take one to the very 
beginning of the document, period.  So apologies if the link actually 
takes you to the wrong place!

I did do some additional digging in some resources and found a 
reference (though not the actual speech) to a message that Carter 
sent to Congress about the environment--it is dated May 23, 
1977.  Source: Green, Marshall.  "The Evolution of U.S. International 
Population Policy 1965-92: A Chronological Account."  Population and 
Development Review, v.19:no.2 (June 1993), p. 311.

This same document also references a major report on the environment 
delivered during the Carter Administration entitled Global Report 
2000 Report to the President: Entering the Twenty-First Century (this 
was published on July 24, 1980); Carter references his report in the 
State of the Union address he gave on January 16, 1981-per the 
bibliography, this can be found in Public Papers of the Presidents, 
Jimmy Carter, 1980-1981.

Hope this is helpful,

Patty
