1.)  Camp David Accords is the popular name for a 1979 peace treaty between Israel and Egypt. The name stuck since President Jimmy Carter (1924-) met with Israel's Menachem Begin (1913-1992) and Egypt's Anwar Sadat (1918-1981) at the presidential retreat at Camp David, Maryland. The treaty was actually signed on March 26, 1979, in Washington, D.C., with Carter as a witness to the agreement between the warring Middle Eastern nations.  I am not sure how it promoted Jimmy Carter's presidency though...
