PRESIDENT CARTER: "As the months ahead give us an opportunity for increasing realisation of our hopes for majority rule and peace in Zimbabwe, we would welcome your constant advice and counsel about how we can use the influence of the United States in the most constructive way. I hope that those of you who represent your countries here will extend by heartiest and personal best wishes to the leaders of your countries. And I know that many of them have been here already; some of them will come next year. And I look forward to a chance in the future, perhaps, of visiting your nations to extend a stronger expression of friendship from the United States to the people whom you represent."
