John Fitzgerald Kennedy: “Mr. Nixon runs on a program of saying that our prestige has never been higher”

This is the worst attack on foreign aid that we have seen since the beginning of the Marshall plan.

I think that is a very good motto for some of the rest of us.

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.

I hope in the year 1963 we will again take stock of the needs of the country over the next decade and we will begin today, this year, this decade, the things which will make this country a better place to live in for the rest of this…
