John Fitzgerald Kennedy: “I am ready to go to any part of the United States to discuss the issues with Mr. Nixon.”

I regard it as serious.

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 know who they are going to blame.

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