After that alarming call to action, a packed House chamber on Wednesday night expectantly awaited the details of Carter's plan, even though most had been leaked in advance and congressional leaders had been briefed. There was a moment of apt happenstance at precisely 9 p.m., when the chamber's great center door opened and, instead of the President, a confused and disheveled James Schlesinger entered the hall. Obviously tardy, the energy adviser, who was directly responsible for putting the massive plan together in just 90 days, had to be directed to his front-row seat...

They are not going to accept words. They're looking for concrete specific actions. Wherever I went in Africa I met a wall of disbelief about virtually any words that were spoken by Mr. Smith. So I put it to Mr. Smith...
