Jimmy Carter Treated At Cleveland Hospital

Reports indicate former President Jimmy Carter has been treated at Cleveland's Metrohealth Medical Center, after landing at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport and being rushed there by ambulance late Tuesday morning.

President Carter's team issued this statement Tuesday afternoon shortly after he was admitted:
"While on a flight to Cleveland, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter developed an upset stomach, and, upon arrival, was taken to Metro Health Hospital for observation. He is resting comfortably and is expected to resume his book tour this week."

Mr. Carter was the 39th president of the United States, serving until 1981.
