John Kennedy actually said...

"For all these reasons we are particularly glad to welcome you here at the present time."

"It is a high honor to welcome you once again to the United States."

"A close working relationship between the civil servants on the one hand and the recipients of the service on the other is necessary for our programs to take hold and result in the betterment of living..."

"I am pleased to note, and I am sure you are too, that we have moved along quite a distance on the road which we set out to travel."
