President Carter shakes hands with Senator Russell Long, D-La. after signing the Social Security bill at the White House. Laughing behind the President is Rep. Jim Guy Tucker, D-Ark.; to his left is Nelson Cruikshank. At the extreme right is Senate Majority Leader Robert Byrd, and next to him, Rep. Al Ullman, D-Ore., chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.President Jimmy Carter said: The Social Security program is a pact between workers and their employers that they will contribute to a common fund to ensure that those who are no longer part of the work force will have a basic income on which to live. It represents our commitment as a society to the belief that workers should not live in dread that a disability, death, or old age could leave them or their families destitute." - December 20, 1977
