Billy Carter (William A. Carter, III) is the brother of former President Jimmy Carter. In 1978, Carter met with a group of businessmen who were interested in meeting him and for the purpose of visiting Libya. The Libyans had advised the group they were interested in investing in businesses in Atlanta, Georgia. The group finally got together in Plains, Georgia and extended their invitation to Billy Carter to visit Libya. A group of businessmen and some lawyers from the Plains area went to Libya where they were entertained by the American Representatives and some Libyan representatives, but never met with Qadaffi, the Libyan leader. After the return home, no business deals were ever made between the groups, but Billy Carter did secure some personal loans from the Libyan Government.
