“His hands-on humanitarian work, which he and Mrs. Carter tirelessly carried out together, helped to provide decent housing, eradicate disease, and improve the lives of millions in communities both at home and abroad,” they said. “His quest for peace in troubled regions of the world, which culminated in the signing of the Camp David Accords, will long be remembered as one of the hallmarks of his presidency and his life.”
