The 1978 State of the Union address was given by President Jimmy Carter to a joint session of the 95th United States Congress on January 19, 1978.
The speech lasted 46 minutes and 4 seconds.[1] and contained 4580 words.[2]
The Republican Party response was delivered by Senator Howard Baker Jr. (TN) and Representative John Rhodes (AZ).[3]
One reviewer noted the blandness of the speech, commenting that "Carter avoided the kind of dramatic new proposals that other Presidents in similar circumstances have put before legislators of their own party."[4]
