Carter Family Peanut Warehouse White House Statement on the Findings of a Special Investigation.
We are, of course, carefully studying the report and will have further comment on it later.
We said from the beginning of the investigation that no moneys were diverted from the Carter warehouse into the Jimmy Carter Presidential campaign or from the campaign into the warehouse, and the report shows our statements were absolutely correct. We also said from the beginning that we would cooperate fully with the investigation, and the report shows we did exactly that.
We are very pleased by the special counsel's findings.
Note: On March 20, 1979, Paul J. Curran was appointed by the Department of Justice as a special counsel to investigate the financial transactions of the Carter family peanut warehouse.
