John Kennedy actually said...

"This Nation stands on the brink of a nationwide rail strike that would, in very short order, create widespread economic chaos and distress."

"Our Constitution already assures us of these rights does not entitle us to stand aloof from documents which project our own heritage on an international scale."

"The United States cannot afford to renounce responsibility for support of the very fundamentals which distinguish our concept of government from all forms of tyranny."

"The cost to the national interest of an extended nation-wide rail strike is clearly intolerable."
