John Kennedy actually said...

"May I extend my best wishes for continued progress."

"In my judgment this renewed authorization is necessary to permit prompt and effective responses, as necessary, to challenges which may be presented in any part of the free world"

"I hope that the Congress will give its prompt support to this authorization, as it did, so effectively, a year ago"

"each qualified citizen has not only a right to vote but also a civic obligation and responsibility to do so"
