Carter outlines transition plan and goals after narrow victory
In Plains Carter, now president elect, says he will move aggressively to carry out campaign commitments but will not interfere with the Ford administration. He contemplates a possible tax cut for low income workers if the economy fails to improve by Jan 20 and stresses cooperation with Congress and the public. Mondale will be his Washington representative, and Carter notes he has yet to set formal priorities while anticipating energy policy, welfare, and tax reform. He warns OPEC price hikes would harm the U.S. economy and stresses he cannot act as diplomat or policymaker yet.
