White House year end interview highlights Carter policy balance
President Carter discusses peace negotiations on the West Bank Gaza Strip and Palestinian autonomy, flexibility shown by Begin, and continued talks with Egypt. He predicts progress on SALT and nuclear tests, supports a broad health and energy agenda, and notes gains in unemployment and inflation. He favors a non independent Palestinian solution and foresees a strong 1978 economy with investment growth and energy action. He named Miller to chair the Fed, spoke on canal treaties, and stressed government reflecting public hopes as his main achievement.
