He noted unemployment will edge down gradually and urged energy conservation amid higher oil prices and a gas shortage. He also warned of international consequences if the Panama Canal treaty is not ratified and said openness with Panama matters more than ownership.

French leader visits Carter over Concorde rights
French Prime Minister Raymond Barre met with President Carter on his first official trip since Gaullist years to press for Concorde landing rights at Kennedy Airport. Barre urged against a U.S. ban on Concorde landings and criticized a Buy American provision in Congress. He cited a Manhattan judge’s ruling that the ban was discriminatory, noting an appeals delay keeps the ban in effect. The visit aims to bolster France’s domestic image before elections, underscoring the importance of operating Concorde in New York.
