Four-Year-Term
Seems Sufficient
President Carter’s recent endorsement q{ a
single sixyear term for U S. presidents seemed
more of a wisful wish of t the moment than a
carefully crafted policy that he will press upon
Congress and the American people.

others would not ascribe re-election motives, to
his policies if he didn’t have to seek re-election.
Although Mr: Carter is the first president

House, with the notable exception of Franklin
Roosevelt, coming, into their fourth year, and
facing the tumult of another campaign, would be
amenable to a long, single term in office,.. .........
In View of the mostly negative reaction to his

election every four years. T f

president. - -
