| Secretary of State Cyrus Vance confers with President Carter about the Middle East on the colonnade of the White House. When Carter took office, he had little experience in foreign affairs, but one of his most notable presidential accomplishments would be helping to establish peace between Egypt and Israel with the 1978 Camp David Accords. |

| Cyrus Vance resigned in April 1980 because he disagreed with the administration's decision to try to rescue American hostages that were being held in Iran. That made him only the third secretary of state in U.S. history to resign over principle. |
