John Fitzgerald Kennedy: “The fact of the matter is that this State and the United States cannot sit still in the 1960's.”

I think that this administration has been very vigorous in its action, and I think that we have tried to set a responsible standard.

I congratulate you, the people of Delaware, the people of Maryland, and the people of the United States.

I regard it as serious.

We are proud to have them here also because they are a Scottish Regiment, and that green and misty country has sent hundreds and thousands of Scottish men and women to the United States and they have been among our finest citizens.
