John Fitzgerald Kennedy: “We are very glad, particularly, to have as our guest the Ambassador from Italy, who represents his people here.”

This is the worst attack on foreign aid that we have seen since the beginning of the Marshall plan.

It symbolizes, I believe, this highway, first of all, the partnership between the Federal Government and the States, which is essential to the progress of all of our people.

I think it would be unwise to attempt to negotiate it out here.
