CARTER: And as a matter of fact at Camp David 25 years ago, Begin and Sadat and I spent most of our time talking about things that would affect directly the Palestinians; notably, whether or not the United Nations' Resolution 242 would be honored which calls for Israel's withdrawal from the West Bank in Gaza.
