It is a great pleasure for Mrs. Kennedy and myself to welcome the Black Watch to the White House.

But don't make it impossible for us to function by legislative restraints or inadequate appropriations.

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.

And I think that--the governmental standards, let me say, on the whole I think compare favorably with those in Washington, with those in some other parts of America.
