because president carter seemed to value vice president mondale, others valued vice president mondale. they knew he had access and they knew he had influence with the president. they knew if they could convince the vice president, they would have a better chance of convincing the president. because other people dealt with the vice president in this manner, is value to the president increased as well. subsequently, the vice presidency has adopted a similar model. all vice presidents from bush on have followed essentially the mondale and carter method. vice president bush, after competed with resident [interpreter] -- despite the fact that the reagan's had misgivings about him, developed a good relationship with president reagan after the assassination attempt march 30th, 1981. vice president bush was viewed by even president reagan's closest people to have handled himself with the greatest sensitivity, tacked, and competence. he took on a number of important missions for the president. he became a close presidential advisor. he really subordinated his ambitions, especially in the first

mondale. and he thought mondale had the experience, the resources that carter needed. he was popular. he knew his way around the district of columbia. he was popular and congress. he was popular with the liberals. president carter, governor carter, took an inclusive approach to mondale and his campaign team. even during the campaign. in the 1976 presidential campaign governor carter, president ford, agreed to debate. they invented for the first time the idea, the institution of a vice presidential debate. which we've had in every presidential election since. except for 1980. in the vice presidential debate mondale was deemed to have done much better than senator bob dole. afterwards carter's campaign manager said that mondale added about 3% to carter's ticket. carter in his speeches, the closing few weeks of the campaign, almost invariably mentioned mondale as an asset. as a signal of the kind of decision-making he was capable of. and during the presidential transition, for the first time in h

mondale? >> mr. mondale, two related questions. the crucial issue of central america, you and the democratic party said the only policy toward the horrendous civil wars in central america should be on the economic development and negotiations with perhaps a quarantine of marxist nicaragua. do you think the answers in any ways will solve the conflicts there? do you believe there's no need to resort to force at all? are not these solutions to central americans' gnawing problems too weak and too late? >> i believe the question oversimplifies the difficulties of what we must do in central america. our objectives ought to be to strengthen democracies and stop communists and other extreme influence and stabilize the community in that area. to do that, we need a three-pronged attack. one is military assistance to our friends who are being pressured. secondly, a strong and sophisticated economic aid program and human rights program that offers a better life and a sharper alternative to the alternative offered by the totalitarians who oppos

mondale. i recall that president kennedy had to go for days on end with very little sleep during the ruban missile crisis. is there any doubt in your mind that you would be able to function under certain circumstances? >> not at all. i will not make age an issue of this campaign. i am not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent's youth and inexperience. [ laughter ] if i still have time, i might add -- i might add, it was seneca or cicero, i don't know which, that said, if it was not for the elders correcting the mistakes of the young, there would be no state. >> i would like to head for the fence and try to catch that one before it goes over. but i will go on to another question. you and mr. mondale disagreed about what you said about recalling submarines launches. there is another statement out there that said that you were unaware that the soviet retaliatory power was based on land based missiles. first; is that correct? secondly, have you informed in the meantime. third is the

. >>> next, a 2015 conversation between walter mondale and former president jimmy carter, who served together in the white house from 1977 to 1981. this program was part of a tribute to the former vice president, hosted by the university of minnesota's humphrey school of public affairs. moderating the conversation is richard moe. mr. mondale's former chief of staff. >> i'm humbled tonight by president carter's sprens with us, despite his personal health challenges. i was honored to be his vice president and to be with him at the center of most of his central decisions. we succeeded over our years together where many other presidential/vice presidential teams have been shattered. what held us together is a deep shared common bond committed to truth and decency. and i never doubted the president's commitment to those values and i don't doubt it today. we also succeeded because we always lived up to his promise to welcome -- lived up to his promise to welcome me into the center of his presidency and to protect the dignity of my presence. he always, always kept that promise. we succeeded

he was a mentor to mondale and many of us from minnesota, and to you. and he suffered in the vice presidency. even though he did, vice president mondale, he urged you to be open to the idea. you want to talk about that? >> i went, at your suggestion, i went to see hubert and i said, you know, i think i got a possibility of joining with mr. carter and refund for vice president. but in light of the experience you had in this office and the kind of painfulness and humiliation of it all, what do you recommend? and he said, i recommend you take it if you can get it. he said it's wonderful, you'll learn more than any other way. you'll have more influence one day than you'll have all year in the senate. and he said i hope you'll consider doing that. now, i must say i was never sure whether he wanted me to be vice president or he wanted me to be minnesota's senior senator. [ laughter ] [ applause ] >> well, he gave you the right advice and you did the right thing. >> yes, right. >> what did it mean to you to have the office in the west wing that president carte
