Scope and content
President Jimmy Carter is surrounded by newsmen and photographers during his brief stay in Tacoma. He arrived on September 23, 1980, at McChord AFB and packed in appearances at the Beacon Senior Citizen Center, Continental Grain's grain terminal, his own local campaign center on Pacific Ave. and a Democratic fundraiser at the Bicentennial Pavilion. Crowds were reported to be thick and enthusiastic and the President did a fair amount of handshaking. (TNT 9-24-80, A-1, A-17-articles)
