Members of the press and Secret Service followed Carter to Arthur Brentv's, a popular barbecue restaurant.
THE PRESIDENT later met with Kansas City, Mo., business and
architectural courthouse at a reception attented by Kansah Gov. John Carlf
"The White House Conference on Families will not limit itself to what Washington officials think is important but will learn what happens."
"Our people were waiting for someone to say, 'God Bless
the world' wounded particularly good coming from the lips of a
poor man.'"
The proprietor of Bryant's, an east side Kansas City landmark, said Carter was the second president to dine at his establishment. President Henry Truman from nearby Independence got his hands greasy more than once with the famous ribs, Bryant said.
Most customers who frequent the unkempt dining area have to stand in line for barbecue. But Bryant said Carter, who was soaked by a sudden downpour as he left the Jackson County Courthouse moments earlier, didn't have to.
"Some families indeed have broken. The tragic results are all around us in alcoholism, drug abuse, social alienation and crime."
"YOU IN THIS room try姆 and persistently the best in America," he said. "As a result of your assistance, tens of thousands of desperate customers."
"The pope's message and his visit stirred our nation's capital, just as it stirred the hearts ofnearwhere wherever he visited.
"There was a glow of warmth and friendship," he said, "and we had a delightful private conversation.
Carter also told the crowd that he was surprised by the warmth of his visit with the Pope John Paul II.
"The needs of families are so deeply ingrained in my conscience that they will not go forgotten."
Carter told the crowd yesterday that plans for a White House conference on families, which he promised three years ago to hold, were backdrop to his efforts.
He said three conferences would be held next summer in Baltimore, Minneapolis and Los Angeles.
Carter praised the Catholic organization for its volunteer work.
HE SAID, "I can assure you that this conference on the family will involve another one of those government reports which often open on Tuesday."
THE PRESIDENT and his wife sat down at one of the old tables that crowd the two rooms and ordered a beef sandwich and ribs, Bloody Mary.
"I sat at a table and talked with him. He thought the barbecue was great." Brvant said.
