Carter avoids coal strike talks during Delaware trip
President Carter spoke in Delaware as he juggled Middle East Africa inflation taxes energy and welfare concerns. He spent 100 minutes en route aboard a Marine helicopter for two fundraisers: a $1 000-a-couple Biden donor dinner and a $35-a-person Democratic Party event drawing about 1 000 supporters. Carter used the visit to repay a political IOU to Biden amid ongoing coal negotiations while opponents gathered in Philadelphia to rail against the firing of U S Attorney Marston. He told Democrats his administration has righted Watergate Vietnam and CIA wrongs and said Americans can again be proud of their country.
