He brokered Camp David peace accords between Israel and Egypt.
He made human rights part of US foreign policy.
He got the Panama Canal Treaty ratified
(many of his critics do not like the last 2)
He started the policy of deregulation which was continued under Reagan. (airlines 1978)
With inflation out of control he appointed Paul Volcker chairman for the Fed in 1979, who eventually got it under control by raising interest rates. The fed funds rate was over 17% in the summer of 1980 which hurt is chances for reelection in the fall.
