John Fitzgerald Kennedy: “I do not believe the West is in decline.”

It symbolizes, I believe, this highway, first of all, the partnership between the Federal Government and the States, which is essential to the progress of all of our people.

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

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