John Kennedy actually said...

"I think it is most appropriate that today he visited the home of George Washington, because in many ways his own life is comparable to the experiences of the father of our country, General Washington."

"I want to express on behalf of our country our great pleasure in having President Bourguiba here."

"This is our opportunity, as well as our responsibility; and I am particularly glad to be here today when we are witnessing the swearing-in of a new President."

"I want to express my appreciation to the President and to the Fellows of this University for the honor that they have bestowed upon me."
