Carter agenda on jobs faces inflation risk on tight wire
After his election, Speaker ONeill backs a $4 billion public works expansion claiming up to 600000 jobs, a figure viewed as exaggerated by critics. The plan, part of a broader $15 billion economic package with tax cuts and incentives, aims to lift employment without triggering inflation while urging a shift from pure public works to stimulating industry and commerce. Congressional leaders meet Carter in Plains, Georgia to refine the program.

Carter advisers weigh economic inheritance from Kennedy era
Charles Bartlett Carter and top Ford officials led by William Simon argue Carter will inherit a livelier economy than Kennedy faced sixteen years ago. Walter Heller, Kennedy’s former chief economist and now adviser to Carter, agrees it’s accurate in a statistical sense but notes Kennedy started with no inflation. He says the reason for Kennedy’s good record was the absence of inflation to begin with, as Kennedy aimed to revive growth on a inflation-free base from three Eisenhower years.
