Scope and content
A crowd of newsmen, politicians and general well-wishers await the appearance of President Jimmy Carter as the Air Force One arrives at McChord Air Force Base on September 23, 1980. President Carter was making a brief three-hour stop in Tacoma as part of a two-day, four-state campaign swing. It had been nearly seventeen years since a sitting president visited Tacoma - that was President John F. Kennedy on September 27, 1963, just two months before his assassination.
