Carter says US should be a beacon on human rights
President Carter told 800 Close Up students in the White House rose garden that the United States must be a beacon of human rights even if it temporarily disturbs relations with a few countries. He urged youth to avoid treating them as children and to take responsibility for the nation's future. He also supported arms talks, energy conservation, and reducing conventional weapons trade, while acknowledging dissidents abroad.
