What Carter faces in foreign policy area
An incoming assessment notes Carter is intelligent but inexperienced in foreign affairs and will rely on advisers early on. Kissinger’s actions in the Middle East and SALT II shape initial opportunities, with potential progress in Arab relations and arms talks. Domestic hurdles, Congress veto power, and global stability shape risks for the new president.

Carter promises to ease tensions with Congress on foreign policy
President elect Jimmy Carter told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee he would go a second mile to ease White House and Congress strains. He warned there would be crises when he might withhold information, saying he may need to rely on his own judgment with the secretary of state or the head of a foreign government. An Independence transcript of the 57 minute meeting was released by the committee. The House International Relations Committee did not release a transcript of its meeting with Carter. He stressed a desire to reduce tensions built up during the Nixon and Ford years.
