JAMES E. CARTER: (b. 1924) Thirty-ninth President of the United States who engineered a break-through in Arab-Israeli relations. Excessively rare A.L.S. "Jimmy Carter" as President on mint green White House letterhead, 1p. 4to., Washington, Mar. 8, 1977 to newspaperman T. J. White. Only six weeks after taking office, Carter thanks him for a favorable editorial Carter's human rights agenda. In full: "3-8-77 To T. J. White Thank you for your editorial comment March 1st on the human rights issue. I've also been surprised at the timidity of some leaders, but at the same time cautious myself about possible adverse effect on those who already suffer. Jimmy Carter". As a candidate, Carter's platform made clear references to his promised efforts to ensure even the most basic human rights for all, and in his inaugural address he forcefully stated: "Our commitment to human rights must be absolute...". Stains on verso have bled through to recto, yet likely could be eradicated by a conservator, boldly penned and otherwise very good. Carter's A.L.S.'s as President are of the greatest rarity! $7,000-9,000
