Carter sees no easy fix for unemployment and plans policy moves
President Carter said there is no quick solution to high unemployment, citing a slow global economy. He endorsed the Humphrey Hawkins full employment bill with hoped protections against inflation and flexibility for future changes, aiming to push a final agreement through Congress soon. He noted 7 percent joblessness despite a pledge to reach 6.5 percent, and announced a forthcoming national health program next year. He also addressed Middle East violence, Helms’s conviction, energy, and opposition to federal funding of abortions.
