Carter to hold televised chat on his first year
President Carter will deliver a 20 minute televised address from the White House on Wednesday night to outline domestic and foreign policy issues he faces in his first year. Press Secretary Jody Powell said the speech will not include major news announcements and may echo Roosevelt era morale boosting broadcasts. Powell noted Carter plans periodic progress reports to the nation and a future news conference likely on February 7. He said aides are seeking legal ways to speed federal aid to regions hit by cold weather and natural gas shortages, a crisis not covered by existing disaster laws.
