Narrator: Each day, the world's most important information flows into
the oval office. And when the Chief of State travels out into the world as our

Jimmy Carter: This will be the 4th Economic Summit
Conference and I approach it with optimism.
Narrator: Whether at an economic summit or at a funeral of a Japanese

intelligence and dignity. He has built an enduring relationship

a working friendship with a range of world leaders.
Like many Americans, they have come to respect the dedication,
the humanity, and the good sense of President Jimmy Carter.
