FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
OCTOBER 6, 1976
OFFICE OF THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY
(San Francisco, California)
THE WHITE HOUSE
QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION
WITH THE PRESIDENT
THE PALACE OF FINE ARTS
8:05 P.M. PDT
QUESTION: Mr. President, you have said tonight
that these issues were complicated and difficult to
discuss. Do you think that you did a good enough job of
discussing Eastern Europe, or do you think you left some
confusion?
THE PRESIDENT: I answered all of the questions,
I set forth our policies, and the final note, of course,
is that we are at peace, and we are going to keep the
peace.
QUESTION: Mr. President, do you think that Mr.
Carter responded to the first question or went and made
an opening statement?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I thought he was very
general, as I indicated. He covered a great many issues
without talking about any answers. Therefore, I thought
that he ought to be pinned down and I thought the
questioners made a big effort to do SO. I certainly
hope that the American people will make certain in the
future that he gives specific answers to specific questions.
QUESTION: Who won the debate?
THE PRESIDENT: I think we did all right. We
enjoyed it.
QUESTION: How do you think you did in comparison
to Carter?
THE PRESIDENT: I am not the best one to pass
judgment on that. I felt comfortable, I answered the
questions specifically and I feel very good about tonight,
just as I did about the first one.
THE PRESS: Thank you, Mr. President.
END
(AT 8:08 P.M. PDT)
