conference following the unveiling,
which was attended by Gov. Joe
Frank Harris, Mayor Andrew Young
and Emory University officials.
Carter said he thought the policy center would be unique in its non-official aspect that would allow freedom of expression.
The former president said that he was not trying to re-create Camp David, but said he had dispatched countries disputing countries could come in absolute seclusion.
Carter said that the main concern of the policy center would be analysis of key issues that could not be studied elsewhere. Also, he said, the policy
center would establish a center for resolving crises and disputes.
He said three major analysis projects were under way, including a complete analysis of the Middle East conflict by Carter and former President Gerald Ford; an analysis of nuclear arms control, focusing mainly on attitudes of Soviet leaders; and an analysis on how to use technology to prevent disease and dying in the nation.
Carter said Dr. William Foge of the national Centers for Disease Control would work full time on the health project.

"When you get to do live broadcasting with a live audience, it's not static at all — it's really electric radio," he said.
