John Fitzgerald Kennedy: “Prestige affects our ability to influence these nations, to strengthen the forces of freedom within them.”

I just say that there's no sense having a program if a man who is innocent of any intelligence mission, which is true in this case, is subjected to arrest without means of defense.

I think that is a very good motto for some of the rest of us.

I regard it as serious.

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