John Fitzgerald Kennedy: “Our influence in Latin America, and all the rest can only have the effect of reducing our prestige.”

I know who they are going to blame.

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.

And I think that--the governmental standards, let me say, on the whole I think compare favorably with those in Washington, with those in some other parts of America.

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