 === March, 1975 === Carter begins his trip around the country with special emphasis on those primary states which are perceived as being basic to his general strategy. As Carter will be visiting many states where he has little name recognition or support, the pace is almost leisurely and his schedule flexible. Three to 5 days are spent in each state with the goal of obtaining good exposure to the press, the public and Democratic activists while identifying and courting persons who can organize and coordinate a statewide campaign.

Carter will be traveling by bus, train or car in a style that is compatible with the image he hopes to project. Carter will work states and geographic areas in sequence without interruption, returning to Georgia every other weekend for a few days of rest.
