John Kennedy actually said...

"So I want to express my great pleasure in awarding this to you, which you very richly deserve for a whole variety of public services."

"I want to express my congratulations and appreciation to the committee, the Attorney General, Mr. Hoover, Mr. Cox, Mr. Guthman, who participated in making this study."

"I want to congratulate you, and you."

"I think that is very nice."
