Was Carter Allergic To Medal

The first book I purchased for my Kindle is "The Reagan Diaries"

Though I have been busy filling the thing up with all those free books, I have managed to read a bit of it. Fascinating to see what was going on behind the scenes during that era, I definitely recommend it if you have any interest in politics or history. I am giving that highlight function a workout.

I was disappointed by these two entries, and wonder if I will find more like them as I go.

Did however give a medal to Ethel Kennedy honoring Robt. K. It was voted on by Cong. in 1978 and the former Pres. never presented it.

Gave bravery & service awards to 9 young Americans. They had performed the deeds in 75 & 78 but J.C. wouldn't give out the medals. The law says only the Pres. can do that.

Was Carter too busy to present some awards? I would be curious to hear what his reasons were, or if he even had any.
