John Kennedy actually said...

"The United States has really gotten two for one in this case--Mrs. Anderson."

"We are very glad to have you here."

"I have found his loyalty to his country, his good will towards all of us who work in the White House, and his willingness to take responsibility and to take it effectively to be--I know of no superior..."

"So we say, thank you, Admiral, for what you have done in the past, an expression of appreciation for your willingness to assume new responsibilities for your country."
